HEYTEA Crisp Grape Boom

The HEYTEA Crisp Grape Boom is $9.99 and 175 calories, which makes it one of the lightest fruit teas on the menu and the one that has sold steadily since 2018. Crushed green grape and jasmine green tea, and nothing else.

The stripped-back build is the point. There is no cheese cloud, no milk, no sago. What you get is grape pulp sitting in cold jasmine tea over ice, and because there is nothing to hide behind, the fruit has to be good. It is. The grapes go in crushed with the skins, which is where the tartness and the faint bitterness come from, and the tea underneath is brewed light enough that it never turns astringent.

The texture is thinner than the cloud drinks and that suits it. It drinks like a long cold tea rather than something to work through. There is pulp in the bottom third of the cup that you pull up through the straw, so it is not entirely smooth, but nothing here is chewy unless you add a topping.

At 36g of sugar it is still a sweet drink, though the absence of dairy keeps the calorie count well under the cloud versions. It is the drink to order if you want something refreshing rather than filling, or if you are drinking it alongside food where a cheese cloud would be too much.

It is also the safest order on the menu for anyone avoiding dairy. No allergens are declared on this one at all, which is unusual across the HEYTEA list where milk shows up in most of the popular drinks. That makes it a useful default when you are ordering for a group and someone has not said what they can eat.

The large cup at $10.99 is a genuine upgrade here rather than a dilution, because the drink is tea-forward to begin with and more of it does not throw off a ratio. If you are going to size up anywhere on the fruit tea list, this is the one.

For the same grape with a cheese cloud layer, the Cloud Crisp Grape is the direct upgrade at $10.49. If you want the light, tea-forward style with a different fruit, the Guava Green Grape adds red guava to the same green grape base.
