Teas' Tea (that's what it's called)


But the strange name and bizarre punctuation aren't the only things I find strange about this. Just about everything written on the label is strange, each in its own way. The company claims to have something to do with New York. Is this supposed to be New York style tea? Then what about the soy milk combined with cow's milk? Is that all the rage in New York these days? How many calories are you saving by substituting soy milk for regular (or low-fat or non-fat) since the milk makes up a pretty small percentage of the contents, anyway? (The label says カロリ OFF --" Calorie Off" though it doesn't say how many off what.) Maybe it has less sugar than most packaged milk tea sold in Japan. The VERY small print on the side of the label says it has 18 kcal per 100 ml.
