Great Finds : Lipton Milk Tea

My friend and I were passing by Shang (as usual) to hail a cab there when we saw free Lipton Milk Tea taste testing there by the grocery. We promptly lined up, what with our recent obsession with tea lattes at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. (Try their English Breakfast Tea Latte, its the best!)

Frankly I have never been a fan of tea and never planned to, until we were out with some friends and this guy was sweet enough to buy me their English Breakfast Tea Latte without me asking. I am forever thankful to him coz I have discovered the wonderful world adding-milk-to-teas hahaha. I am obssessed with that drink at Coffee Bean. So I guess you can understand why I lined up to try Lipton's Milk Tea.

Verdict? It definitely was very good, albeit a bit sweeter than my preference of it to be bland (sugar ages you, darling.). Its a very very good alternative to Coffee Bean, esp. with the price difference. And I can just enjoy it at home, I dont have to go to the coffee shop!

Accdg. to the Lipton website:

"Lipton recently launched the Milk Tea range that is a perfect blend of Lipton
Black Tea, milk and sugar that results in a rich and smooth drink. In the
Philippines, it is available in Original, Gold and Vanilla flavours."
