lilacgreen Posted January 14, 2011 at 01:29 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 at 01:29 AM Hello I was just wondering if there is any Chinese Iced Tea which is simply just sweetened with sugar, not flavoured such as Jasmin or lemon flavour. Just like the iced tea you get in the US ie sweet iced tea. If so, do you know what it is called ie a certain brand etc? PLease let me know Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilacgreen Posted January 14, 2011 at 11:10 PM Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 at 11:10 PM Now is that the same as the sweet tea that I mean, the sweet tea that I mean is brewed very strong with a large amount of sugar added to it while the tea is still hot. There are no flavours added to it. Not mint, not peach not lemon...no flavours just sugar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbradfor Posted January 16, 2011 at 03:28 AM Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 at 03:28 AM 立顿 is the brand "Lipton", I believe, not the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacgreen Posted January 16, 2011 at 11:17 PM Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 at 11:17 PM Ohh sorry if I confused you but the picture was just of the "type" of product I am looking for. I can not get Lipson sweet tea in the UK but I was looking for a Chinese equivilent to Sweet Iced Tea. So which one have you found that is the same as that?

lilacgreen Posted January 20, 2011 at 12:20 AM Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 at 12:20 AM Sorry we have misunderstood eachother again. I am not looking for a particular brand. I am looking for ANY chinese iced tea which is the same or similar to the Lipton Sweet Iced tea. I am looking for ANY brand of Chinese iced tea that has been made with only sugar, no other flavours.

abcdefg Posted January 20, 2011 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 at 09:13 AM There is a lesson to be learned from your arduous sweet tea quest. Can you guess what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacgreen Posted January 21, 2011 at 02:11 AM Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 at 02:11 AM Hi Jessie thanks for that, so kangshifu iced tea is iced tea made with only sugar? ABC, interesting, what is the lesson to be learned? I have a few ideas around language barriers maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted January 21, 2011 at 05:41 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 at 05:41 AM ABC, interesting, what is the lesson to be learned? I didn't want to sound patronizing, but what I had in mind was more along the lines of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." In other words, it may not be a fruitful pursuit to try and just duplicate the things you most liked at home and it might be wiser to expand your base of experience by enjoying the food and drink of this new place where you are living for a time.

jessiejin Posted January 21, 2011 at 07:07 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 at 07:07 AM no.sorry. in my city,no tea is made with only sugar. sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted January 31, 2011 at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 at 03:57 PM Following abcdefg's suggestion of 入鄉隨俗, I recommend looking for un-sweetened un-flavored oolong iced tea. A lot of the oolong tea used for iced tea is naturally slightly sweet, and will be closer to sweetened black tea. I'm not sure how common it is in China. It is everywhere in Japan, and I have seen it in China as well, but I don't know good places to look. There are a number of different brands, with different flavors. My personal favorite is made by Suntory. They have a normal one and a "black" oolong iced tea, which I can never get enough of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
