HEYTEA Menu Prices 2026: Cheese Tea, Fruit Tea & Bubble Tea

Most HEYTEA drinks run about $5.95 to $7.50 as of May 2026. Signature cheese teas start around $5.95, fresh-fruit teas run about $6.50–$6.95 (the fresh-grape and mango drinks are at the top end), and pure brewed teas start around $4.50. Toppings like extra boba (+$0.95) or cheese foam (+$1.25) add a little more. HEYTEA sits at the premium end of the bubble-tea market — a step above mall boba shops — reflecting its fresh-fruit, premium-tea positioning. Prices run higher in major metros.

Cheese tea is freshly brewed tea topped with a thick layer of salty-sweet whipped cheese-cream foam — you sip the cool tea through the rich, slightly savory foam for a contrast that's become a global trend. HEYTEA is widely credited with inventing it, debuting the cheese-foam tea after its 2012 founding in Guangdong, China. The signature Cheezo Green Tea (~$5.95) is the original. The foam is made from cream cheese, milk and a touch of salt, whipped to a moussey texture — not melted cheese.

The two icons are the Cheezo Green Tea (~$5.95) — the original cheese tea — and the fresh-fruit teas, especially Very Grape (~$6.95), made with real peeled grapes, and Cheezo Mango (~$6.95), which combines fresh mango with the signature cheese foam. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk (~$6.50) is the top pick for classic bubble-tea fans. HEYTEA's fresh-fruit drinks are labor-intensive (real fruit is peeled and prepped in store), which is part of the premium positioning.

Yes — free customization is a HEYTEA hallmark. You can set the sugar level (0%, 30%, 50%, 70% or 100%) and ice level (no ice, less ice, regular) on any drink at no charge. Many regulars order at 30% or 50% sugar to let the tea and fruit flavors show through. Paid add-ons include tapioca/boba pearls (+$0.95), extra cheese-cream foam (+$1.25), grass jelly (+$0.95) and an oat-milk swap (+$0.75) for a dairy-free option.

Yes. While HEYTEA is best known for cheese tea and fresh-fruit tea, it has a full boba lineup. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk (~$6.50) — fresh milk with chewy brown-sugar tapioca pearls and caramelized syrup striped down the cup — is the standout. The Classic Boba Milk Tea (~$5.95), Taro Boba Milk (~$6.50) and Matcha Milk (~$6.50) round it out. You can also add tapioca pearls to any drink for +$0.95, so almost anything on the menu can become a bubble tea.

Generally yes — HEYTEA is positioned at the premium end of the bubble-tea market. Where a typical mall boba shop might charge $4.50–$5.50 for a milk tea, HEYTEA's drinks run roughly $5.95–$7.50. The premium reflects fresh-fruit prep (real peeled grapes and mango), premium loose-leaf tea bases, the invented cheese-foam topping and design-forward stores. For fans, the quality and the signature cheese tea justify the step up; for value-focused boba drinkers, it's a splurge.

HEYTEA was founded in 2012 in Jiangmen, Guangdong, China, and grew into one of China's most valuable new-tea brands before expanding internationally. In the U.S., HEYTEA operates a growing footprint in major metros — California (Los Angeles, Bay Area), New York and the Pacific Northwest have been early markets, with continued expansion. New openings often draw lines from fans of the brand and curious first-timers. Check the official HEYTEA site or app for the latest U.S. store list and to order ahead.

Many HEYTEA drinks can be made dairy-free with an oat-milk swap (+$0.75), and the Oat Milk Tea is dairy-free by default. The pure teas (jasmine green, roasted oolong) and many fresh-fruit teas are dairy-free when ordered without cheese foam or milk. Note that the signature cheese-cream foam contains dairy, and some toppings or the soft-serve ice cream do too. If you're strictly vegan, ask staff to confirm the tapioca pearls and syrups at your location.
