✨ 2026 UPDATE: This guide has been updated for the new
year! I’ve added the latest HEYTEA x POP MART "Twinkle
Twinkle" global collaboration and updated the Super

What Is HEYTEA 喜茶?
Founded in 2012 in Jiangmen, China, Heytea has rapidly become a global tea phenomenon. Known as the pioneer of cheese tea, Heytea was the first brand to introduce cheese-infused tea in mainland China a creative blend of traditional Chinese tea and rich, creamy cheese that sparked an entirely new beverage trend.
Heytea continues to redefine modern tea culture by combining innovative flavors with premium ingredients, offering refreshing experiences that delight tea lovers around the world.
What Makes Heytea Stand Out?
Innovative Flavors: Heytea is famous for its signature cheese teas, fruity infusions, and seasonal creations that keep fans coming back for something new.
Premium Ingredients: From carefully brewed tea bases to freshly sourced fruits and high-quality toppings, Heytea focuses on flavor precision and texture in every cup.

2026 Update: 🌟 Twinkle Twinkle
Edition
Heytea x Popmart Twinkle Twinkle (Instagram)
If you’ve been on social media at all this winter, you’ve seen the adorable
"Twinkle Twinkle" cloud characters all over HEYTEA’s cups. This isn't
just a cute packaging play, it’s the launch of their first globally
synchronized drink, meaning fans in London, NYC, and Kuala Lumpur are all
sipping this together.
In late 2025/early 2026, Heytea launched their first
Global
Simultaneous Campaign with
POP MART’s "Twinkle
Twinkle". It also introduce special drinks:
“Tiramisu Tea Latte”- HEYTEA’s custom classic Yingde Black Tea base
meets mascarpone salted cheese cream in smooth harmony.
" TIRAMISU RICH
CHOCOLATE"- Creamy milk with rich liquid tiramisu topped with savoury
cheese cloud and generous layer of cocoa powder
Pro-Tip: This drink is quite rich! I recommend ordering it at
less sugar. The mascarpone foam is naturally sweet, and full sugar can
make it feel a bit "heavy" halfway through the cup.
