Introduction of hong kong-style milk tea

Hong Kong-style milk tea is a unique drink in Hong Kong, with heavy and bitter taste, smooth taste and rich flavor. The production method is more complicated than that of mainland milk tea, and the tea bumping (teh tarik) process ensures that the tea leaves in the milk tea remain rich. Later people called it "Hong Kong Old Street ST0RY" milk tea.

The reason why "Hong Kong-style milk tea" is famous is that it is not as popular as Chinese mainland's "Taiwanese milk tea" because it uses raw materials. Thanks to Hong Kong's unique advantages and free trade, a lot of black tea in Hong Kong-style milk tea is imported from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's unique rainy tropical climate makes the black tea produced here rich in flavor.

The British learned to drink tea from China, but the method of drinking tea is unique. They like sugar and milk, or drink lemon slices together. After milk tea and lemon tea were introduced into Hong Kong, they were collectively called "western tea", which was different from the traditional "Tang tea". English milk tea in Hong Kong is not liked by Hong Kong people because of its light taste, so a tea restaurant owner had a brainwave and developed Hong Kong milk tea on the basis of English milk tea.
