With Zen Tea, Guiltea, and Bon Appetea in Baguio; Let’s have a Tea Off!

Tea based beverages have come a long way.  These days, they’re available in every kind of flavor you can think of, and artificial as though these flavors from a bottle may seem, they’re a hit with today’s crowd.  Tea drinks; hot or cold, fruity or with milk and their tapioca pearls lining up in the straw to get to your mouth, have become the refreshment of choice for both the young and the old in Baguio City.
