Heytea

Chinese Cheese Tea Chain Hey Tea to Open First U.S. Location in Manhattan | Eater NY

"Opening its first U.S. tea shop in Midtown at 1407 Broadway (between West 38th and 39th streets) on December 8, Hey Tea is the Chinese chain that turned cheese tea into an international sensation. It has thousands of locations across Asia and, at peak popularity, customers would line up for hours. The company helped redefine the drink in 2012 by using cream cheese instead of powdered cheese and mixing it with fresh milk to create a more premium version; more generally, the cheese-tea foam is made with cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and a little salt." - Luke Fortney
