It looks like a chain of cheese tea shops with roots in China will be expanding to Boston.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, HeyTea is looking to open in the Back Bay, moving into a space at 223 Newbury Street. Once it opens, the new shop will join several locations in New York, California, and Washington State along with others overseas, and expect to find such options as fruit tea and milk tea, with the teas being topped with a thick cheesy foam.
The website for the HeyTea chain can be found at https://www.heytea.com/
[June 13, 2025 update: A poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page mentions that the Back Bay location of HeyTea is now open, and this is its second Boston location, as another had opened in Allston early this year.]
