Looks like Richmond’s bubble tea scene is getting a juicy new addition!
One of our Noms Mag community members (@michelle.hy) spotted coming soon signs for YOTEA at Continental Plaza, taking over the old Chase Tea spot.
This will be the brand’s debut in BC, adding to their locations in Ontario.
Mark your calendars—YOTEA’s set to arrive in mid-2025.
So, what’s the hype?
YOTEA’s all about their iconic cube-shaped cups packed with fresh fruit chunks and teas you can mix and match.
Choose your adventure with bases like Black Tea, Oolong Tea, or Green Tea.
But if you fancy milk tea, they’ve got that too!
And let’s not forget their cute mascot, RUA RUA, a tiny yellow hedgehog spokesperson.
Born in Shenzhen in 2014, YOTEA is a full-on fruit tea powerhouse.
According to their official website, they’re slinging over 10 million cups a year across 60+ locations in China, offering 20+ fun and flavourful tea options.
Their mission?
To redefine daily tea with health-conscious, creative, and fresh takes on fruit tea.
The buzz is already real.
Fans on Chinese social media are reliving their Shenzhen tea days and can’t wait to sip on YOTEA in Richmond.
Metro Vancouver’s been all about fruit teas for a while now, but some thought the tides were shifting towards modern tea trends with brands like Molly Tea and Chagee dominating Asia.
But nope, YOTEA’s arrival proves that fruit teas are here to stay.
