Chinese tea chain To Teapresso has opened its first store in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. This launch is part of the company’s efforts to strengthen its global presence and expand into international markets.

The brand is known for combining Chinese tea with extraction techniques, creating a “Chinese Tea Latte” by blending the extracted tea with fresh milk. It currently operates 20 stores on the Mainland.

Teo Lv, founder and CEO of To Teapresso, said overseas expansion has always been part of the company’s plan since its launch.

“Hong Kong is an international trade hub, offering advantages and more opportunities for our business operations,” said Lv.

“The city’s unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures aligns well with To Teapresso’s brand essence, making Hong Kong our top choice for launching our overseas business.”

He added that the company plans to open more stores in Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, and Australia within the next 18 months.

“The Hong Kong office currently focuses on international business in the Asia-Pacific region, including our expansion and operation in Hong Kong and Macau,” Lv concluded.
