Mmmm.
No sweet clue where this came from, but it’s another one I’ve had for ages, and some kind soul sent it to me when I first joined Steepster. If I had to guess, I’d put money on Sil but don’t quote me on that :)
Anyway, I’m trying really hard to go through my teas to make room for the massive quantity I’ve got coming from my relatives in the states when they visit in July (so far got orders from 3 different companies shipped to them, with plans for three more within the next month)….
Soooo I found this, and the idea of it intrigued me.I’ve never heard of a “milk tea” before now!
I had the kettle boiled and on hold at 98 degrees C, so I decided to just go with that since this is a black tea.
It’s a bit astringent….next time I will go with the recommended 195 degrees. (F)
But, it’s really creamy and tasty! A nice black tea. Brewed up very rich and dark and clearly I had to add milk.
Not disappointed with this one! I’d probably want to own some!
AND….now I need recommendations for other milk teas to try….tea monster has been created.
Thanks to whoever sent me this back in the day!

Ooh I haven’t heard of milk black either. Only milk oolong.
It’s weird….flavored with evaporated milk! Which isn’t something I’d normally drink, but I bet if done right it would be even better than this one
Is this like a Hong Kong type of thing? 50% of the people at my work are from Hong Kong and they all drink this thing they call “milk tea”. When I inquired what that was, it really meant they put milk in their black tea. (Which is not as customary in other places as you might think)
When I looked up “milk tea” on here a lot of the results seemed to be Asian (not to generalize, I just have no idea in the specific areas)…. So maybe?
Isn’t Thai tea made with evaporated milk and sugar or sweetened condensed milk?
not me! ihaven’t tried this one yet haha
oh ok, my bad! sorry!
a tea you haven’t tried!?!?!?!? ;)
shhhhhhhhhhh don’t tell anyone!
