HEYTEA

Shenzhen


You haven't been to Guangdong unless you've tasted cheese tea. (This is not something we ever expected to print!) There are umpteen branches of HEYTEA across Shenzhen, where folks queue up to sup big cups of milk tea topped with its trademark layer of cheesy foam (¥17), and take a selfie, of course. Say cheese!
