Each cup is uniquely brewed with respect to the ingredients, the natural flavors, its origin and the creators’ vision of what a perfect cup of tea should be like in the 21st century. Tea and Milk doesn’t believe in artificial flavors and pre-mixed powders. “The world is much more fastpaced but keeping tradition is just as important as keeping up with the times,” said co-founder Mathew Wong. “It’s also about respect – respect for the person who brewed the tea and the person who will be drinking the tea.” 2.
