What Is New Modern Tea?
New Modern Tea is the next evolution of bubble tea. Unlike traditional milk tea made with powders and creamers, modern tea focuses on:
Fresh-brewed, high-quality tea leaves
Real fruit and natural ingredients
Organic lactose-free milk (no creamer)
Advanced brewing and layering techniques
Balanced sweetness and complex textures
This modern tea movement originated in mainland China and has taken Asia by storm. Now, Koreyinz is bringing that energy — and quality — to Pittsburgh’s bubble tea scene.

The Koreyinz Story: Where Craft Meets Culture
Founded in 2023 by a passionate team of experienced bobaristas and tea enthusiasts, Koreyinz was built on one simple mission:
To bring Pittsburgh a modern tea experience rooted in quality, culture, and creativity.
We brew fresh tea daily using premium loose-leaf tea, organic lactose-free milk, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Every drink is handcrafted — never rushed, never artificial.
Even our name reflects our roots. Koreyinz is a play on word, it blends “Korean” with “Yinz,” the beloved Pittsburgh term — symbolizing culture, community, and connection.
