HEYTEA Drink Builder
Build the order you are planning and see what it costs before you get to the counter. All 47 drinks, all 12 toppings, and the five sugar levels the counter actually accepts. Free, no sign up, and nothing leaves your browser.
Two toppings can cost more than the drink they sit in. A Cheese Cloud at $1.99 on top of a $6.49 Cloud Mango is a $8.48 order. This tool shows you that before you commit to it.

How to Price a HEYTEA Order in Four Steps
Choose a drink
Pick from all 47 drinks on the US board. Prices run from $5.49 to $9.99 for the standard 16 oz cup.
Set the sugar level
Choose 0, 30, 50, 70 or 100 percent. The counter charges nothing for this and the calorie estimate updates as you change it.
Add toppings
Add any of the 12 toppings, priced from $0.49 to $1.99. Each one adds to both the price and the calorie count.

The panel shows the running price, the estimated calories and the estimated caffeine before you reach the counter.
What Toppings Actually Add to a Bill
The drink price is the number people plan around. The toppings are where an order quietly grows by a third.
| Order | Drink | Toppings | Total | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Mango, no additions | $6.49 | $0.00 | $6.49 | 260 |
| Cloud Mango plus brown sugar bobo | $6.49 | $1.99 | $8.48 | 340 |
| Classic Milk Tea plus bobo plus cheese cloud | $6.49 | $3.98 | $10.47 | 550 |
| Jasmine Tea plus light cheese cloud | $5.49 | $0.99 | $6.48 | 150 |
The third row is the one worth looking at. Two toppings take a $6.49 drink to $10.47, and the calorie count more than doubles. The fourth row does the opposite: the cheapest drink on the board plus the cheaper cap still lands under $6.50.
The Cheapest Ten Orders on the Board
Before toppings, at the standard 16 oz size. Useful if you are ordering for a group and the total matters more than the specific drink.
| Drink | Price | Calories | Caffeine | Dairy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Jasmine Tea | $5.49 | 180 | 40 mg | Yes |
| Jasmine Tea | $5.49 | 30 | 35 mg | No |
| Oolong Tea | $5.49 | 35 | 45 mg | No |
| Black Tea | $5.49 | 40 | 55 mg | No |
| Cloud Mango | $6.49 | 260 | 40 mg | Yes |
| Grapefruit Boom | $6.49 | 110 | 40 mg | No |
| Passion Fruit Blast | $6.49 | 70 | 40 mg | No |
| Classic Milk Tea | $6.49 | 230 | 60 mg | Yes |
| Oolong Milk Tea | $6.49 | 220 | 50 mg | Yes |
| Black Tea Latte | $6.49 | 320 | 60 mg | Yes |
Why HEYTEA Totals Surprise People
The price board at a HEYTEA counter shows drink prices. It does not show what your order comes to, and the gap between those two numbers is wider here than at most drink shops. Three things drive it.
The first is that toppings are priced like small drinks rather than like extras. Brown sugar bobo is $1.99. The original Cheese Cloud is $1.99. Matcha Cloud is $1.99. Any two of those add $3.98, which is more than a complete Classic Milk Tea at $6.49. At most chains an add on is fifty cents and nobody thinks about it. Here it is a third of the bill.
The second is that there is only one cup size. At a chain with three sizes, people calibrate on the medium and read every other price against it. On a single size board the prices look flat until you notice they run from $5.49 to $9.99, a spread of $4.50 for the same 16 oz of liquid. Two people ordering what feels like the same kind of drink can pay very different amounts.
The third is that the free adjustments and the paid ones sit next to each other in the same conversation. Sugar level, ice level and hot or iced all cost nothing. Toppings and the oat milk swap cost money. The counter asks about all of them in one breath, which is exactly when a person stops tracking what they have agreed to.
This tool exists to move that arithmetic to before the queue instead of after the receipt. Nothing here is a trick or a hidden charge, it is just a board that does not make the total obvious.
Three Orders, Three Very Different Totals
The same visit, priced three ways. All three are reasonable orders that a real person would place.
The careful order
$6.48
Jasmine Tea at $5.49 plus Light Cheese Cloud at $0.99, 30 percent sugar, less ice. You get the salted cap the chain is known for, about 150 calories, and more liquid than a regular ice order for the same money.
The middle order
$7.99
Crisp Grape Boom, nothing added, 30 percent sugar. A staff picks drink at 100 calories with real grape pulp in it. This is where most of the value on this menu sits, and it needs no additions to work.
The order that grew
$10.47
Classic Milk Tea at $6.49 plus brown sugar bobo plus a cheese cap. Two yeses at the counter took a $6.49 drink past $9.99, and the calorie count went from 230 to 550.
None of those three is the right answer. The first is the cheapest way to try what makes this chain distinctive, the second is the best drink for the money, and the third is a dessert that someone deliberately chose. The point is that the difference between them is $3.99, which is worth deciding on purpose.
What This Tool Does Not Include
Sales tax is not in any total here. It varies by state and by city, and HEYTEA trades in 6 states with different rates in each. New York City sits near 8.875 percent on prepared drinks, California varies by county, and Texas differs again. Adding a single figure would be wrong almost everywhere, so the totals on this page are pre tax menu prices, the same numbers printed on the board.
Delivery platform pricing is also excluded. DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub all list HEYTEA above the counter price before their own delivery fee, service fee and tip go on top. Use the totals here as your baseline and expect an app to run higher. The delivery page covers how the three ordering routes compare.
Regional price variation is the third thing. The figures behind this tool reflect what the majority of public US listings carry, and the Manhattan and Beverly Hills stores tend to sit at the top of the range. Treat a total here as a reliable guide rather than a quote for a specific counter, and tell us if you find one that has moved.
The calorie figure at 100 percent sugar is a published number and is not an estimate. Anything below 100 percent is modelled, because the chain publishes one calorie count per drink rather than one per sugar setting. That model is described on the sugar levels page and the tool marks those figures as estimates rather than presenting them as published.
Drink Builder Questions
Pick a drink, set the sugar level, then add any toppings you want. The panel updates the price, the calorie estimate and the caffeine estimate as you go.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no sign up.
The base calorie figure for each drink is the published number at 100 percent sugar. That part is not an estimate.
The sugar level adjustment is an estimate. It models the share of a drink's calories that comes from added syrup, which varies by category. Fruit teas carry the highest share, so they move the most when you drop the sugar level.
Because not all calories come from syrup. A matcha latte gets most of its calories from milk and matcha, so dropping to 30 percent sugar changes less than it would on a fruit tea.
Plain brewed teas barely move at all, since there is almost nothing to remove. Jasmine Tea at $5.49 is only 30 calories at full sugar.
No, it does the opposite. The cup is a fixed 16 oz, so less ice means more drink in the same space. You get better value and slightly more calories.
If calories are what you are managing, sugar level is the lever that works. Ice level is the one that does not.
From the tea base and its brew strength. Matcha builds are highest, black tea next, jasmine green tea lowest, and drinks with no tea base carry none.
HEYTEA does not publish per drink caffeine for the US menu, so every caffeine figure on this site is an estimate and is labelled as one. The caffeine page explains the method.
Yes. Toggle as many as you like and the total updates for all of them. Adding a Cheese Cloud at $1.99 and brown sugar bobo at $1.99 takes a $6.49 drink to $10.47.
That is a useful thing to see before you order rather than after. Two toppings can cost more than the drink they sit in.
It should be close. Prices shift by city, and the Manhattan and Beverly Hills stores tend to sit at the top of the range.
Tax is not included, since it varies by state and city. Treat the total as the pre tax menu price.
The prices here are in store prices. DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub all list HEYTEA above the counter price before fees and tip.
Use this as your baseline and expect the app total to run higher. The delivery page covers how the routes compare.
