HEYTEA Opens Its First Concept Store in Myeongdong, Seoul

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HEYTEA, the globally renowned New Style Tea brand, officially announces the opening of its first concept store in Myeongdong, marking a significant milestone in the brand's expansion into the Korean market. Since launching its first store in Seoul's Apgujeong district this past March, HEYTEA has quickly gained widespread attention among consumers, followed by the opening of its second store in Hongdae in July. The launch of the Myeongdong concept store will further solidify HEYTEA's presence and influence in Korea.

Myeongdong is a famed shopping and tourist destination in Seoul, attracting both international visitors and locals with its wide array of global brands. As HEYTEA's first concept store in Korea, the three-story space embodies the brand's modern Zen aesthetic, creating a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Inspired by the classic Chinese literature "Lofty Mountains and Flowing Streams", the store design incorporates the elements of water—its form, color, and sound—capturing the fluidity and tones of water and integrating them into the building's facade as well as the second and third-floor interiors. The result is a harmonious space that offers an immersive experience of Asian tea culture. Amid the bustling energy of Myeongdong, this tranquil Zen-inspired environment allows visitors to enjoy the subtle aroma of tea, helping them find peace and relaxation, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking a moment of respite in their busy lives.
