Chinese tea chain Molly Tea has launched its first Singapore store at Orchard Central, marking its entry into one of Southeast Asia’s most competitive F&B markets.

The store spans 1400sqft and can seat up to 40 customers, making it the largest store in Southeast Asia. 

According to local sources, the brand is reportedly preparing to open a second store in the market in the coming months. 

Founded in Shenzhen in 2020, Molly Tea has expanded rapidly across China and into overseas markets, building a following for its jasmine-based beverages. 

The brand currently operates more than 2000 stores globally, covering markets such as China, Thailand, Japan, and the US. 

Last year, the brand expanded into Indonesia with two stores in Jakarta.
