A “tea latte” is usually based on a tea portion and a creamy portion of milk. The tea base provides aroma and depth, and milk provides softness and sweetness perception. With HEYTEA style drinks, the tea comes through as a base and the latte presence ensures a smooth, easy drinking experience.Individuals drink tea lattes when they wish something comforting, like a coffee shop beverage, but with the familiar tea texture that HEYTEA is renowned for.

The most traditional tea latte taste is black tea latte. Black tea will generally be mellow, with a slight malty or caramel, depending on the tea type used. The milk rounds and softens the tannins when it’s used in a latte.For those who prefer a more palatable and predictable choice, black tea latte can be a great choice. It also complements toppings such as boba or pudding since black tea lends itself to the dessert-like textures.

Often, green tea latte provides milder and fresher tea notes than black tea. Green tea may be naturally grassy or slightly vegetal, and generally will smooth out and lose the bite when made as a latte. The milk helps to mellow out the “dry” quality some green teas possess to make the finished beverage easy to swallow.Ideal for those who enjoy the taste of tea, but want something lighter than the heavier brown sugar or chocolate-latte variations.

Jasmine tea latte is a fragrant tea latte. Jasmine is a floral and aromatic, which makes it the standout in the beverage. The jasmine fragrance can be both elegant and soothing when added to a latte. The milk also softens the tea and preserves the smell of a perfume.Savor jasmine tea latte if you prefer an aromatic, smooth, but not too heavy or too dessert-sweet.

In general, oolong tea latte will have a darker and more grown-up taste. Oolong will often impart roasted, mellow, and when milked it will be balanced – rich but not too sharp. The depth of tea really makes this tea latte a sort of “tea dessert,” as the tea provides the bulk, and the milk adds a creamy touch.Oolong tea latte is generally a good option for those who don’t like the fruity taste and would prefer something more roasted/tea-like.

Some menus feature roasted tea lattes with a focus on more intense and toasty tea flavors. Roasted tea may have the aromas of a nut and a warm tone. The latte form is also popular during the winter or when you need something warm, as this can be soothing. This style tends to suit medium to high sweetness but can be balanced if you don’t like the sweetness interfering with the tea’s clarity.

There are many tea latte menus that allow you to pick the toppings. Toppings can alter the experience, even when using the same tea base. The typical topping for tea lattes include: Boba/pearls: makes the beverage chewy and increases sweetness, making it more like dessert. Pudding/custard: thickens the drink and gives a creamy layer to the drink, making it more “cheesecake-like.”Jelly or fruit gel: prevents the drink from becoming too strong, and can help give the drink a bit of chewing. For those who prefer tea to remain prominently visible, try topping with a textured, textural addition that doesn’t introduce additional sweeteness.

This is a very specific effect of sweetness on tea lattes. The high sweetness can turn the drink into a “dessert only” as milk can already be “rich”, making the tea aroma less apparent. The lower sweetness will make tea more flavorful and the more mature in flavor. If you prefer a balanced HEYTEA tea latte, medium sweetness is a good place to begin. Lower is for the tea lover where tea leads. For ultimate comfort food dessert, you should serve it at a higher level, particularly with creamy desserts.

Black tea latte is the most traditional and simple option for those who prefer the traditional and simple flavor.

Opt for lighter and fresh green tea latte if you like.

For a strong floral aroma, opt for jasmine tea latte.

For deep tea flavors, opt for oolong tea latte or a roasted tea latte.
