Ningji Handmade Lemon Fresh Fruit Tea opened its first store in Changsha on February 8, 2021. As of April 2024, it has more than 2,000 stores. In July 2021, it completed a Series A funding round worth tens of millions, with investments from ByteDance and Shunwei Capital. In January 2022, it completed a Series A+ funding round worth several hundred million, with investments from Tencent and oversubscription from existing shareholders.
Founded in 2021, Ningji signed nearly 3,000 stores in three years and secured hundreds of millions in funding from ByteDance, Shunwei Capital, and Tencent. Competing fiercely in the lemon tea market, Ningji achieved unparalleled growth. According to co-founder Amanda Wang, their true competitive edge lies in talent accumulation and organizational development.
