Flavor: It is slightly sour, and not too tannic. Milk and sugar are included already in the mixture, so it has a soft milky taste. Like many Asian things, the sweetness is very mild. I would say it has a distinctive Asian taste, but that could be simply because I think of my Asian friends who introduced me to it when I drink it.
Suggested Additions: none.
Ingredients: sugar, whitener (non-dairy creamer), TW instant tea
Purpose: There is a little bit of caffeine in this tea, but I have never had it keep me awake at night, like some other teas. Because it is powdered, has no steep time, and has milk and sugar already added to the mix, this is a great tea to use when you are in a rush. Also, it is a little nostalgic for me, and somewhat comforting.
