HEYTEA 喜茶, China’s most popular tea brand with over 110 outlets, is finally opening its first overseas outlet right here on our shores TODAY! It’s reported that people queue for hours just to have a sip of its beverages. What’s so special about them I wonder?

HEYTEA is actually the original inventor of cheese tea. Now it does sound like a mismatch. Cheese and tea? Cheese and fruit juice? Little did I know that these seemingly unconventional pairs actually work like a dream.

There were so many options available that many customers (myself included) might stumble at the counter contemplating their choice. I had the Ever Spring ($5.50) from the cheese tea category. Upon first taste, my friends and I simultaneously let out an “ooooh” sound, a physical tell that we were concordant that it was awesome. The tad saltiness from the cheese foam complimented the classic earthiness of oolong while the matcha dust and floral fragrance of the tea elevated the drink. It was like nothing I’ve ever had before.

I’d also recommend the matcha cheese tea for similar enjoyment.
