Wait, what? I... what? Are you actually in China?

You know, you seem pretty mad for a guy having read a largely picture post about a simple drink. Also, as someone who has both lived in Taiwan and worked at a Chinese restaurant in America, I beg to differ. The tea you can get from actual Taiwanese joints differ a lot from the tea that I've gotten in Cali (socal at least, typically where most of the asians are, unless there's some chinese haven up north I haven't heard of), which is typically made from a watered-down bagged tea blend, mixed with regular milk, and then watered down with tons and tons of ice to fill the cup so you can get your $3's worth. It depends on the place too, of course. But that's just my opinion.

Milk Tea was never that popular with Chinese (The real Chinese :/) until the Bubbletea craze (Just like everything else from Taiwan).

I never drank any milk tea until the bubble tea starts to rage with booth opening everywhere. I knew Hongkies like that shit but I always thought its because of their British leaning.

Theres many styles but probably will be accustomed to the Hong Kong Style, even though I live near a billion bakeries and shops I have never ordered milk tea. -__-

Doesnt seem very appealing to me, same with coffee... which I think I drank once. I love tea though.

You're missing out, man. It's basically tea, except smoother and sweeter.

Are you talking about the iced version or the hot version, or both?

Both, but I guess I can't speak for everyone. Chinese tea are served hot but there people who drink tea with honey and other shits but milk was pretty rare. I thought it has to do with something like English Break Fast + tea which is pretty much what Hong Kong tea is :/
