Tea latte vs milk tea

Now, we know what you might be thinking. What’s the difference between a tea latte vs milk tea? Unlike traditional tea, where a dollop of milk might be a mere addition to your morning Earl Grey tea or English Breakfast tea, milk plays a more central role in a tea latte. It’s often steamed to create a frothy, luxurious texture. The versatility of tea lattes creates an abundance of possibilities for flavour variations. At T2, we’ve created the perfect blend of creamy flavour sensations that will have you reaching for your mug. But first, what were the origins of today’s popular tea latte?

The history of tea latte

In the late 19th century, the British established tea plantations in India. Tea had become a quintessential drink in India by the Second World War. The elite would drink expensive leaf tea, or chai, lightly steeped in hot water with no milk or sugar, while the working class would have tea mixed with sugar and milk for a more nutritious beverage.

Fast forwarding to the 1990s, Starbucks launched its version of a chai latte, appealing to a wider audience since not everyone is a coffee drinker. Inspired by Eastern tea traditions, the cultural fusion of a tea latte is enjoyed worldwide today, whether it’s a classic chai latte or a modern matcha latte.
