Yandis Ying is the Founder & CEO of Dot Dot Tea, the UK’s fastest-growing premium bubble tea brands. She launched Dot Dot in London in 2023 as a small high street bubble tea café before rapidly transforming it into a nationally recognised retail brand. Today, Dot Dot is redefining bubble tea for mainstream retail with low-sugar, premium drinks crafted from authentic loose-leaf tea, real fruit and popping boba, all brewed in its own Bubble Tea Brewery in North London.
Dot Dot is now stocked by leading retailers and hospitality partners including Harrods, Selfridges, Planet Organic, Ocado, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class, Nobu Hotel and Costco, among many others. The brand has received multiple industry accolades, including several UK Soft Drinks Awards, Gold at the LUNCH! Innovation Challenge, securing four offers on BBC Dragons’ Den, and being named the only drinks brand finalist for Startup of the Year at The Grocer Gold Awards 2026.
Before founding Dot Dot, Yandis built her career in technology at Google and Sapient, where she specialised in enterprise digital strategy and innovation. She is also a proud mother, driven by a desire to build a business that inspires the next generation to dream boldly, embrace entrepreneurship and believe that with determination, anyone can build extraordinary brands. She is passionate about creating globally recognised consumer brands while encouraging more women and young founders to pursue their ambitions with confidence.
