“i tried chi cha san chen in china too and waited for like 2 hours to get it delivered and didnt like it there idk it feels sort of chalky to me and i think the tea leaves they use just taste odd with the milk... idk how to explain it. like id if youve just brewed some pu erh or some rando tea leaves you have at home and then added milk and sugar... it gave that vibe”
