When British Tradition meets Hong Kong Culture

Hong Kong-style milk tea originates from British colonial rule over Hong Kong. The British practice of afternoon tea, where black tea is served with milk and sugar, grew popular in Hong Kong. "Hong Kong-style milk tea” is local adoption of it but it is brewed with Ceylon and a secretive mix of other types of black tea and is mixed with evaporated or condensed milk.

The "Hong Kong-style milk tea” is a rich and comforting drink with strong tea flavour and packs with caffeine punch, yet it goes down smooth.
