On Friday, June 20th, Hey Tea’s first location in Maryland will open for business at 891-F Rockville Pike in Wintergreen Plaza. For the first month or two following its opening, the Tysons Corner location had queues extending around the corner; a similar circumstance is anticipated in Rockville.
The Rockville business will take up the location between Wingstop and Paisano’s Pizza that was previously occupied by Sweetfrog. Specials will be offered from June 20 to 22 during the Grand Opening, such as a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion (one drink per order) and a city-exclusive fridge magnet that is only available while supplies last. The store will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
Neo Nie, a 19-year-old businessman, established the international tea brand Hey Tea in Guangdong, China, in 2012. It is regarded as the originator of cheese foam and has been rapidly growing its footprint in the United States. Last summer, the first U.S. location debuted on Broadway in New York City. Stores in California and Tysons Corner, Virginia, the first location in the Washington, DC, area, followed.
Refreshing Real Fruit Teas, Real Dairy Milk Teas, and Refreshing Finest Teas are the three product categories that the store will provide, per a prior Hey Tea news release. The menu will feature items like Roasted Brown Bobo Milk (Original), Regal Aqua Green Jasmine Cheese (Original), Mango Grapefruit Sago, Very Grape Cheese (Original), and Very Grape HEYTEA (Original).
