About Auntea Jenny
Auntea Jenny, Hu Shang A Yi in Chinese, is a Chinese freshly made tea drinks chain founded in 2013 and headquartered in Shanghai. The company, Auntea Jenny Shanghai Industrial Co., Ltd., has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since May 2025 and has become one of the country's largest fresh tea networks through a business model focused almost entirely on franchising.
Its offer revolves around milk tea with toppings, fruit tea, light fresh-milk teas, yogurt shakes and ice cream, at mid-range prices designed for everyday consumption. The group also develops other brands, such as Fallstea, focused on quality fresh milk tea, and Jenny x Coffee, its move into coffee, covering different consumption occasions within the same store or commercial area.
The network exceeds ten thousand stores in more than three hundred Chinese cities, with an especially strong presence in third-tier and lower-tier cities, which account for over half of its outlets. That capillarity, supported by its own supply chain and brand recognition in less saturated markets, explains how Auntea Jenny competes head-to-head with China's fresh tea giants despite its origin as a single small Shanghai shop.
