Premium tea brand HTeaO has opened in Lexington, Tennessee, according to a press release.

HTeaO offers a range of ultra-premium tea, water, and coffee products and caters to customers both in-store and through convenient drive-thru services. Each location boasts 20-plus meticulously crafted flavors of sweetened and unsweetened tea, made using a proprietary water filtration system and 100% natural ingredients.

The Lexington HTeaO is the first HTeaO location owned and operated by Kim Gill and Kevin McCann.

"We're beyond excited to bring HTeaO to Lexington and introduce the community to this incredible brand. Here in the South, we have a deep love for iced tea, and HTeaO elevates that tradition with freshly brewed, ultra-premium drinks and healthy snacks, products you don't see every day," franchisee Kim Gill said in the press release.

HTeaO hit 100 unit in early 2024. The brand has a minority partnership with two Dallas-based private equity firms, Crux Capital and Trive Capital.
