Thai tea is made out of red tea, food coloring, anise, and other types of spices. Thai tea is served chilled and further enhanced by the addition of condensed milk and sugar. At the same time, green tea is growing increasingly popular in the country. Both are popularizing with youngsters in the form of bubble tea.

Bubble tea is rumoured to be invented in Taichung, Taiwan. This tea is not the one that you drink in your usual cup. Bubble tea is made up of a tea blend mixed with milk or fruit and small ‘bubbles’ or pearls that make the name of this milk tea.
<Indonesia>
Do you happen to know that Sundanese people from Western Java want to enjoy a flavour without sugar?
