• Milk tea refers to any tea drink
that has milk added. Milk tea can
be a regular cup of bLACK
TEA  topped up with milk or it can
be a more complex tea type such as
milky bubble tea from Taiwan or
the iced Thai milk tea.
• How does it taste?
• Different milk teas have their own flavor profile. For
example, bubble tea can taste sweet and creamy
whereas British tea can take bold and robust. As milk
tea is normally made with a BLACK TEA  base
(especially in the British version), the milk helps to
balance out the slightly bitter and astringent taste
of black tea, bringing a creaminess and a smoother
finish to the palate. You can add milk to hot tea or
iced tea and enjoy the benefits. Thai milk tea tastes
spicy and creamy, but we will delve more into the
individual profiles of each tea below.

• The British typically take their tea with milk (and
occasionally sweetener.) Whether you’re indulging in
an afternoon tea ceremony or just brewing yourself
up a morning cup, taking tea the British way usually
means brewing your tea strong and adding a splash
of milk. In Ireland, they sometimes add half and half
or cream. You can add sugar or honey to your cup of
tea, or drink it with only milk and enjoy the natural
sweetness present in the tea. Traditional breakfast
blends like Irish Breakfast and English Breakfast are
often used for this type of milk tea.

• Hokkaido milk tea is a unique tea-based
beverage that originates from the Hokkaido
region of Japan. Although green teas like Sencha
and Gyokuro are the most common types of tea
consumed in Japan, Hokkaido milk tea is

has a robust base, often Assam or hearty blends
like Irish Breakfast. Milk from Hokkaido is
added to the tea, which is often then sweetened
with honey, caramel, or brown sugar.

evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk.
The tea used is typically a hearty black tea like
Ceylon, although aged teas like Pu-erh may

Kong, and may have its origins in the
introduction of the practice of drinking
afternoon tea with milk and sugar under
British colonial rule. When using evaporated
milk, sugar is often added to sweeten the tea.
• Masala Chai
MASALA CHAi also has its origins in British
colonization. Drinking tea became popular in India
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when
British colonists began growing tea in India rather
than purchasing it from China. Masala Chai soon
developed into a popular local drink in its own right,
with traditional Indian spices added to black tea for a
unique and satisfying drink. Masala Chai can be
made by steeping tea and spices directly in steamed
milk, or by adding milk to a cup of traditionally
prepared tea. You can also make a chai latte by
frothing the milk!
