Chinese cheese tea originator from Guangzhou at ION Orchard
Chinese cheese tea originator from Guangzhou at ION Orchard
Heytea at ION Orchard is the Singapore outpost of the pioneering Chinese tea brand that originated the cheese tea concept in Guangzhou in 2012. Heytea is credited with creating the signature cheese foam topping, a creamy, slightly salty layer that sits atop freshly brewed tea, a format that has since been widely imitated across Asia's bubble tea industry. The ION Orchard basement outlet serves the full range of Heytea beverages, including fruit teas, cheese teas, and pure tea selections. Each drink is made to order using quality tea leaves and fresh ingredients. The sleek, minimalist store design reflects the brand's positioning as a premium tea lifestyle brand rather than a conventional bubble tea chain. Heytea's arrival in Singapore generated significant excitement, with long queues forming at its initial openings, a phenomenon that had also accompanied its expansion across mainland China. The ION Orchard branch benefits from the heavy foot traffic of one of Orchard Road's busiest malls. The menu features seasonal and limited-edition drinks alongside the permanent offerings, keeping the selection fresh for repeat customers. Popular choices include the Mango Cheese Tea and the Roasted Bobo Tea, which combines brown sugar boba with cheese foam. The brand continues to innovate, introducing new flavour combinations and collaborations that maintain its trendsetting reputation. As the originator of cheese tea, Heytea holds a special place in the modern tea beverage landscape. Its expansion to Singapore brought the concept to a market already saturated with bubble tea options, yet the brand's distinctive product and strong identity have allowed it to carve out a meaningful presence. The ION Orchard location, with its proximity to the Orchard MRT interchange, makes it a convenient stop for shoppers and tea enthusiasts exploring the Orchard Road stretch. Heytea remains a must-try for those curious about the cheese tea phenomenon at its source.Based on 1676 Google reviews
