Th
e
Story Behind Molly Tea
Mol
ly Tea was founded in Shenzhen, China in Feb
ruary 2021 by
Zhang Bochung and his co-founders, who saw an opportunity in a market saturated with fruit-heavy teas . A
t
a time when most brands were competing on toppings and novelty, Zhang envisioned something different—a brand that would reconnect tea with its sensory and cultural roots .
The
name "Molly" is a phonetic nod to mò lì
(茉莉)
, the Mandarin word for jasmi
ne—the
flower that has long symbolised purity and beauty in Chinese culture . Jas
m
ine tea became the company's foundation, and the concept took off almost immediately.
In just five years, Molly Tea has grown at breakneck speed. The brand currently operates more t
han 2,000 stores globally, with
a presence in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Thailand, Indonesia, and now Singapore . Reco
g
nised by CIC (China Insights Consultancy) as the first f
reshly made tea brand dedicated to floral aromas, Molly
Tea has carved out a unique niche in the competitive tea landscape .
What s
e
ts Molly Tea apart isn't just its tea—it's the entire experience. The brand draws inspiration from high-end fashion and lifestyle brands, with campaigns that feature moody, cinematic visuals paired with poetic copy . This "
a
ffordable indulgence" approach, as industry analysts call it, transforms a simple tea purchase into a small luxury—a treat that lifts the mood and offers sensory pleasure .
Several fac
tors set Molly Tea apart in Singapore's competitive tea scene:
1. Laser Fo
cus on Floral Teas
While many
chains spread their offerings across dozens of categories, Molly Tea remains singularly dedicated to floral aromas, particularly jasmine. The brand's entire identity revolves around capturing the fragrance of flowers in every sip .
This is Moll
y Tea's secret weapon. The signature Premium Jasmine Milk Tea is made from freshly pick
ed double-petal jasmine flowers from Guangxi, which are
infused into high-mountain oolong tea through a meticulous seven-step s
centing process . This tech
n
i
que ensures the jasmine fragrance deeply penetrates the tea leaves, resulting in a sweet, delicate flavour with a lingering floral finish .
From freshly s
queezed apple juice to real pistachio cheese foam, Molly Tea uses genuine, high-quality ingredients that taste authentic rather than artificial.
4. Light, Bala
nced Profiles
Molly Tea's dr
inks are notably lighter and more sophisticated than many sugar-heavy alternatives. The recommended sweetness level is 70 percent (equivalent to 50 percent at most tea stores), and the drinks allow the natural tea flavours to shine .
Molly Tea's vis
ual identity is unmistakable. Soft pink hues, elegant floral elements, and a clean, contemporary design language create a dreamy atmosphere that feels both polished and approachable. The brand calls this "Eastern Modern
" —a distinctive
aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional new-Chinese tea brands .
Molly Tea's bran
d IP is a kindergarten-aged girl named Molly, with a fl
ower
bud hairstyle and big eyes. Born in 2022 and inspired by the jasmine flower, she symbolises a pure, warm presence in urban life—curious, imaginative, and full of joy .
Molly Tea's Singap
ore debut is nothing short of spectacular. The flagship store at Orchard Central (#
01-17A) spans an impressi
ve 1,400 square feet
(130 square metres) and can seat up t
o 40 customers, making it the brand's largest outlet in
Southeast Asia .
The space featur
e
s
Molly Tea's signature design language—soft pink hues, elegant floral elements, and clean, contemporary lines that feel both polished and dreamy. A Singapore-exclusive
Molly mascot dressed in an adorable Merlion costume adds a delightful
local touch and serves as a perfect photo opportunity .
Opening Hours: Monda
y to Thursday,
10 AM – 10 PM; Friday to Sunday, 10 AM – 10:30 PM
To celebrate its deb
u
t, Molly Tea launched an all-pink immersive pop-up experience running from March 3 to March 22, 2026, located directly opposite the outlet. The pop-up featured a signature push cart, merchandise display wall, floral installation, and multiple Instagram-worthy photo spots .
Molly Tea's Singapore m
enu features over 30 drinks, with six signature creations carefully curated for local audiences. Here's what you need to try:
1. Premium Jasmine Milk
Tea ($5.20)
This is Molly Tea's bes
tselling
drink worldwide—and for good reason. T
he tea is crafted using freshly picked double-petal jasmine flowers from Guangxi, infused into high-mountain oolong tea through a trademark seven-step scenting process. Each sip has a distinct jasmine fragrance that lingers, and the milk doesn't interfere with the taste of the tea .
2. Snowy Jasmine ($6.50)
An upgraded version of t
he
Premium Jasmine
Milk Tea, the Snowy Jasmine features a generous crown of jasmine-infused whipped cream, topped with crunchy crushed pecans. The result is beautifully layered—creamy, floral, and nutty all at once .
White champaca is a hybri
d flower variety that combines hibiscus and magnolia. For this creation, fresh white champaca flowers are first infused with green tea, then mixed with Mengding high-mountain tea from Ya'an in Sichuan. The result is a strongly caffeinated brew
with a prominent oolong
taste and a characteristic hint of bitterness—great for those who love stronger tea blends .
One of the brand's more in
novative creations, this drink blends premium jasmine tea with refreshing coconut water, crowned with a light green layer of pistachio cheese foam and sprinkled with chopped pistachio nuts. The flavour journey is remarkable: first the creamy and slightly savoury pistachio foam, followed by the subtle fragrance of jasmine tea, and finally the light, sweet coconut water base .
A floral-fruity crowd favou
rite, this drink is crafted with fresh apple juice and high-mountain Yunnan tea. It begins with fruity sweetness, transitions into elegant jasmine aroma, and ends with creamy tea smoothness. The apple juice tastes freshly squeezed, lifting the creamy jasmine tea so it doesn't feel too heavy .
This drink combines white ch
ampaca milk tea with a matcha cheese foam cloud, ad
ding creamy richness tha
t complements the tea's delicate aromatic notes. Think matcha latte with a floral spin—absolutely delightful .
Beyond the drinks, Molly Tea o
ffers a range of beautifully designed merchandise that extends the brand experience:
Cloud Tote Bag: $39.90 – A sof
t pink, fluffy
tote that's as cute as it is practical
Insulated Tumbler: $42.90 – Pe
rfect for keeping
your Molly Tea at the ideal temperature
Singapore Exclusive Blind Box
Magnets: $9.90 – Collectible magnets f
eaturing Molly's mascot in a Merlion costume
These items reflect the brand'
s polished, floral aesthetic and make wonderful keepsakes or gifts.
