Story of HK Style Milk Tea

Originally introduced to Hong Kong during the colonial period from Britain, black tea began as an exclusive delight for the privileged. Over time, it gradually became popular among people of all social classes.

As the colonial period passed, many traditions faded away, but black tea uniquely blended with local culinary culture, innovating into the distinctive Hong Kong-style milk tea. Today, it is acclaimed as an intangible cultural heritage of Hong Kong.

Why Tsit Wing?

With more than 75years experience, Tsit Wing introduced their own blended tea.  It tailors to taste profile of traditional HK-style Milk-tea and save the tea bistro storage and blending cost by doing themselves.​

Hong Kong Style Milk Tea typically uses a strong, robust blend of black tea leaves, often including varieties like Ceylon or Assam.

The blend contributes to the rich and bold flavor of the beverage. While the distinctive creaminess comes from the use of evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk.
