Pennsylvania has a single HEYTEA store, on Arch Street in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. It is the newest location in the network and has almost no reviews behind it yet, which means the usual signals about service and consistency are not available.

DirectionsPrices, calories and sizes for all 39 items, the same list every Pennsylvania shop pours.

The Philadelphia store sits at 1001 Arch Street, on the edge of Chinatown and a short walk from the Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market.
A store this new has no useful rating. One or two reviews move a score by whole stars, so the number attached to it says nothing about the shop and should be read as missing rather than as low.
Chinatown here is dense with competing tea shops, which usually pushes a new opening to get its operations right quickly. That is a better predictor than any early review.
Nothing else in Pennsylvania has opened yet. Pittsburgh, State College and the Philadelphia suburbs are all currently unserved.
A new store is the best time to order the drinks that show their making. Matcha and the capped builds both show how carefully the shop whisks and whips, since neither hides a shortcut well.
Cloud Matcha Latte at $10.49 is the reference build for that. Look through the side of the cup for green sediment at the bottom, which means the whisking was rushed.
For a plain test, Oolong Cold Brew at $6.50 is the cheapest thing on the board and has no milk or cap to hide a weak brew behind.
Hours on a new store move around while it settles, so a call ahead or a check of the delivery apps is worth the minute before making the trip.
