Chinese Sweet Iced Tea?

[lilacgreen]

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

康师傅冰红茶 冰绿茶

just buy the original one.

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.

sorry,now i have no idea.but wait please,i will go to the mart to have a look.hope i can find one.

mostly,if you want tea with nothing ,it wont be very sweet.if you want to it to be sweet,it will definetly with something else.i guess.

[jessiejin]

i searched the rt mart.and found that 康师傅绿茶（not冰绿茶，sorry),康师傅大麦香茶，康师傅乌龙茗茶。

they are just tea with sugar or honey,but they are not too sweet ,just a little bit sweet.

these are all that i can find.

Wouldn't be difficult to make it yourself. It could be as strong as you want and as sweet as you want.

Hi,

Thanks for looking for me, very helpful.

DO you think what you found would be what I am looking for? Here is also a picture of what I am looking for

hi

what you found in china is called立顿。i like it.but in my place,we can only buy the one that should be mixed with water before you drink it.no bottles one.

i am glad that you have found it.

[jbradfor]

立顿 is the brand "Lipton", I believe, not the product.

[lilacgreen]

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?

[jessiejin]

lipton:

green tea bags, some milk tea bags , and so on.

[lilacgreen]

sorry Im am confused, which one is the most similar to the lipton sweet tea drink?

[jessiejin]

sorry.

what i told you is just lipton.different products of lipton.just the same brand you showed to us.

and you told me that what you want to find is not a product but a brand.so i showed you this.

so,what i found is just lipton.

and i hope the lipton in china is as same as yours.

hope you can understand me .

[lilacgreen]

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.

[jessiejin]

hhhhh:)

i can understand you now.

we have some made with only honey.but none of them are sweet.if you want the tea to be sweet,it must be with somethig else.just like kangshifu iced tea.

this is the situation in my city.

good luck.

There is a lesson to be learned from your arduous sweet tea quest. Can you guess what it is?

[lilacgreen]

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?

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]

no.sorry.

in my city,no tea is made with only sugar.

sorry.

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.
