The origin of milk tea
2024-01-15
Due to different climates, there are two ways to make milk tea. In the south, there is a tradition of pouring two cups of milk and your strong tea back and forth, creating a brown arc in the air to dissolve the tea and milk.
Tea originated in China and was introduced to India through the ancient Silk Road. Tea has been grown in Assam, northwest India. It is said that the British learned to drink tea from local tribes, so the famous British afternoon tea seems to be a variant of Indian milk tea. Nowadays, the famous tea region is Darjeeling, which accounts for 25% of India's total production, even though it has only been planted for over 150 years. Good head picked tea can be sold for $220 per kilogram in the market, but out of the 60000 tons of Darjeeling tea sold globally each year, only 12000 tons come from Darjeeling.
Hong Kong, China
British people learn to drink tea from China, but their drinking methods are different. They like to add sugar and milk, or lemon slices to drink together. Lemon tea imported from Hong Kong milk tea is collectively referred to as "Western tea" to distinguish it from the traditional drinking method of "Tang tea". British milk tea in Hong Kong is not popular among Hong Kong people due to its light taste. Therefore, some tea restaurants came up with an idea and developed Hong Kong style milk tea based on British milk tea. The tea has a strong flavor and a long-lasting milk aroma, which has been popular in Hong Kong for over a hundred years and has been enduring.
Taiwan region
Pearl milk tea originated in Taiwan. When black sugar is added to the raw materials of milk tea, which turn into circular black crystals after cooking, it is named "Pearl". In addition, various ingredients such as pudding and coconut can be added to create a special flavor, which is loved by the general public. It has now been promoted to various places, but it is still difficult to see in the United States, and the price is also relatively expensive.
