1. Tibetan Butter Tea

For travelers visiting Tibet, this tea offers a rich, creamy, and uniquely salty flavor. Made with natural ingredients such as Pu-erh black tea, butter from Yak milk (a type of cattle native to this region), and Himalayan salt (a pink rock salt known for its healing properties), a warm cup of butter tea provides essential vitamins and fats, helping to maintain optimal health and resist the harsh weather conditions.

Holding a hot cup of butter tea in Tibet, you’ll experience the warmth and hospitality of the locals, quickly forgetting the cold that surrounds you.

2. Hong Kong Pantyhose Milk Tea

Also known as “Pantyhose Milk Tea,” this drink gets its name from the unique method of filtering and brewing the tea through a thick stocking. While the main ingredients are still tea and milk, this preparation gives you a fresh experience with a sweet, smooth taste, combined with a slight bitterness from the tea. It’s considered a national drink, enjoyed by everyone regardless of social status, which is why many people drink it as a daily ritual. Isn’t that fascinating?

3. Mongolian Milk Tea

Mongolia is often regarded as the birthplace of milk tea, and it’s a traditional drink here, consumed even more than water. With just four main ingredients—tea, milk, pink salt, and grains—this beverage not only provides warmth but also supplies proteins, minerals, and vitamins, boosting immunity and helping to maintain a healthy figure.

The salty, creamy flavor of Mongolian milk tea can change with the seasons, adapting to the weather and conditions of each time of year. So, each visit to Mongolia promises a new and different experience.

4. Taiwanese Bubble Tea

Considered the "king of bubble teas," Taiwanese bubble tea is known for its meticulous preparation, diverse flavors, and the perfect combination of tea and milk, with the addition of chewy tapioca pearls that create a quintessential cup of bubble tea.

With just seven types of tea, there are already hundreds of different recipes. To truly appreciate an authentic Taiwanese bubble tea, you need a bit of patience and a touch of sophistication.

5. Thai Milk Tea

Thai milk tea is no stranger to young people in Vietnam. The refreshing taste of tea leaves, mixed with tea powder and the aroma of various herbs, helps to cool you down while providing some energy to keep you going.

Similar to bubble tea, Thai milk tea comes in many different recipes and colors, giving you plenty of options to choose from based on your preferences.

6. Malaysian Teh Tarik

With just two main ingredients—tea and milk—this drink is strangely captivating. From the preparation to the flavor, everything is unique. The tea used is a special variety from Malaysia, mixed with milk and shaken until foamy. This foam is then spread over the top of the tea, giving you a rich, creamy sensation with the very first sip.

7. Qatari Karak Tea

Karak tea is considered a national drink in Qatar. It’s a meticulously prepared tea, where black tea is boiled in hot water the first time, then mixed with milk and sugar, and boiled again before serving.

8. British Milk Tea

While the combination of tea and milk originated in the East and is a traditional drink in several countries, it’s the British who have taken it to new heights. The locals often joke that the country could do without a queen but not without tea. A morning cup of tea is seen as a luxurious drink that brings comfort and sets the tone for a new workday.
