Heytea

Heytea is a Chinese premium modern tea-beverage chain founded in 2012 in Jiangmen, Guangdong. It pioneered cheese-topped tea and fresh-fruit "new-style tea" and has grown to thousands of stores across mainland China and international markets including Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States. Backed by investors including Hongshan (formerly Sequoia Capital China) and IDG Capital, Heytea runs its own mobile ordering app and retail loyalty program. As a consumer food-and-beverage retailer it publishes no public developer API, documentation portal, or SDKs; this profile is retained in the network as a company identity lead.

Heytea is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Food and Beverage, Beverages, and Tea.
