Cloud Jasmine Tea
Plain jasmine tea with a cheese cloud cap and nothing else, the cheapest cloud drink.
Updated 01 September 2026
HEYTEA Cheese Cloud and Fluffy Cloud Menu
Cheese tea is what HEYTEA is known for, and this section is where it sits undiluted. 8 drinks built around a salted cream cheese cap, priced from $5.49 for Cloud Jasmine Tea up to $9.99 for the three Fluffy Cloud builds.
The cap is savoury, not sweet. That surprises most people the first time. It is closer to a salted crema than to whipped cream, and the salt is doing a job: it cuts the tannin in the tea underneath and stops the drink reading flat. Once you know that, the section makes sense.
Across the whole US menu 18 drinks carry a cloud cap of some kind, including several fruit teas and matcha builds. This page covers the 8 where the cap is the drink rather than an addition to one. The toppings page covers adding it to something else.

Three Different Caps, Three Different Prices
Cheese Cloud is the original at $1.99 and 240 calories, a pourable salted cream cheese foam that sits as a layer you drink through. Light Cheese Cloud is $0.99 and 120 calories, half the cream for half the price. Matcha Cloud is $1.99 and 230 calories, the same foam whisked with matcha powder.
Fluffy cloud is the fourth and it is not on the add on list at all. It is whipped stiff, holds its shape, and only appears on Fluffy Cloud Mango, Fluffy Cloud Crisp Grape and Fluffy Cloud Yumberry. All three are $9.99, which makes them the joint most expensive drinks on the US board alongside Cloud Longjing Milk Tea.
The practical consequence is worth knowing before you order. Cloud Mango at $6.49 and Fluffy Cloud Mango at $9.99 are the same mango and the same jasmine tea. The $3.50 between them buys cap thickness and nothing else. That is a fair trade if the cap is what you came for, and a poor one if it is not.
How to Drink One Without Ruining It
Take the lid off and drink from the cup rather than through the straw, at least at first. The cap and the tea are meant to arrive in the same mouthful, and a straw pulls only from the bottom. Most stores hand these over with a wide lid opening for exactly that reason.
Do not stir it. Stirring turns a cheese tea into a milk tea, which is a perfectly good drink but not the one on the price board. If you find the contrast too sharp, the fix is a lower sugar level on the tea underneath rather than mixing the cap in.
Cloud Jasmine Tea at $5.49 is the right first order in this section. Plain jasmine green tea, a cheese cap, nothing else competing. If you like it, the fruit builds and Original Cheezo make sense next. If you do not, you have learned it for $5.49 rather than $9.99.
HEYTEA Cheese Cloud & Fluffy Cloud Questions
Cheese cloud is a salted cream cheese foam floated on top of a brewed tea. It is savoury rather than sweet, and the salt is the point: it cuts the tea's bitterness the way salt does on a grapefruit.
HEYTEA is generally credited with inventing it. 18 drinks across the US menu carry it as standard, and it also sells as a $1.99 add on.
Cheese cloud is a pourable foam layer you drink through. Fluffy cloud is whipped stiff enough to hold a spoon and sits as a distinct dome on top of the cup.
Fluffy cloud is not sold as an add on. It comes only on the three Fluffy Cloud drinks at $9.99, which is why those are the most expensive drinks on the board.
Without stirring, at least for the first few sips. Tilt the cup and drink through the cap so the salted cream and the tea arrive together. That contrast is the entire drink.
Stirring it turns the cup into a milk tea, which is a fine drink but not the one you paid for. If you get a straw and a lid, take the lid off first.
No. It is salted cream cheese foam, closer to a savoury whipped topping than to whipped cream. First time drinkers often expect dessert and get something closer to a salted crema.
The sweetness in a cloud drink comes from the tea underneath, which is why the sugar level still matters even on a Cloud build.
Cloud Jasmine Tea at $5.49 and 180 calories. It is jasmine green tea with a cheese cap and nothing else, which makes it both the cheapest cloud drink and the cleanest way to taste what the cap actually does.
Original Cheezo at $6.49 is next, built on black tea instead of green.
Fluffy Cloud Mango is $9.99 against $6.49 for Cloud Mango, a gap of $3.50 for the same fruit and the same tea. What you get for that is a thicker whipped cap.
If the cap is the reason you are ordering, it is a real difference in texture. If the fruit is the reason, Cloud Mango gives you the same drink underneath for less than half again.
Yes. Cheese Cloud is $1.99 and adds 240 calories. Light Cheese Cloud is $0.99 and adds 120. Matcha Cloud is $1.99 and adds 230.
On a fruit tea the light version usually works better, because a full cap can bury the fruit underneath it. On a plain brewed tea the full cap is the better call.
