Hong Kong Milk Tea Blend
Hong Kong milk tea origins when the region was a British colony. At that time, only the wealthy people could afford to enjoy tea. Locals brewed tea from leftovers, which was strong and very bitter. To enjoy the tea they decided to balance the tea with evaporated and condensed milk.
This exotic blend combines the world's finest black teas from India and China. The English tradition of drinking tea with milk and sugar was reimagined in the Hong Kong style. A strong cup of this blend with sweetened condensed milk is known as one of the top ten "must have" foods from Hong Kong.
