Fruit & regional
Fruit teas and regionally distinctive preparations that do not fit the milk-tea or latte formats. Thai Iced Tea (cha yen) is a specific drink: strong brewed Thai tea, often with orange coloring, condensed milk, and ice. Fruit teas are a loose category covering cold-brew or blended preparations where fruit flavor dominates the tea base. What unites this family is regional specificity or a format where tea is subordinate to the overall drink character.
