Hong Kong milk tea is the most distinctive branch of British milk tea. In Hong Kong, which was colonized by Britain at that time, a large number of dockers engaged in heavy manual labor every day, but the food supply was insufficient and the physical strength of the workers could not be guaranteed. The Chinese nation has always had the national spirit of self-improvement. At that time, Hong Kong people improved English milk tea to make it a drink for the general public, allowing more docks to engage in heavy work and obtain high-energy supply.
