The modified AI TEA Smart Tea Chain Store will be able to produce ultra-high-quality tea products, reduce labor costs by 80%, achieve high standards of hygiene and reduce one-third of the required operational area.

The entire process takes only about 60 seconds. Compared to traditional tea stores, AI TEA intelligence workshop has very outstanding advantages.

Building an AI TEA's fully automated smart tea shop requires only 9-12 square meters of space. Compared to the traditional milk tea stores, it saves nearly half of the rent expense. It is very suitable for universities, hospitals, playgrounds, subway and skytrain stations, airports, train stations, terminals, scenic sites and landmarks, shopping centers, supermarkets, office buildings, industrial parks and other similar locations.
