DIY Taiwanese Oolong Tea Latte at Home

Discover how to make a High Mountain Cloud Latte, a Taiwanese-inspired cold brew tea latte that’s smooth, aromatic, and creamy. Inspired by Chi Cha San Chen’s Ding Dong Oolong Tea Latte, this recipe is perfect for tea lovers who want a café-style experience at home.

Why You’ll Love the High Mountain Cloud Latte

Chi Cha San Chen, one of Taiwan’s most famous tea houses, is celebrated for its Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte - a rich, roasted, and creamy tea drink. Our High Mountain Cloud Latte attempts to bring that same elegance to your kitchen using High Mountain Oolong Cold Brew Tea, delivering a smooth, never-bitter latte with layers of flavour.

This drink is:

• Tea-forward: The roasted oolong notes shine.
• Easy to make: Ready in under 40 minutes, including cold brew time.
• Customisable: Sweeten to taste, add milk, or top with pearls, coconut jelly, or cream/mousse.
• Mindful and relaxing: Perfect for a calm morning or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients for a Café-Style Oolong Latte

• 1 sachet High Mountain Oolong Cold Brew Tea
• 600–800 ml water
• 80–100 ml milk or oat milk (for creamy latte effect)
• 1–2 tsp honey or simple syrup (optional)
• Add-ons (optional): tapioca pearls, coconut jelly, or cream/mousse

• Pro Tip: Frothing your milk creates a “cloudy” latte effect, making your drink look as indulgent as it tastes.

Step-by-Step Method

1. Place your High Mountain Oolong sachet in 600–800 ml of cold filtered water. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, then remove the sachet.
2. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the cold brew. Stir in honey or syrup if desired.
3. Gently pour in milk or oat milk to create a creamy latte layer. Elevate your latte by adding tapioca pearls, coconut jelly, or cream/mousse.

How to Serve Your High Mountain Cloud Latte

• Serve in a clear glass to showcase the layered effect.
• Pair with a light snack, like shortbread or a butter cookie, for a tea-time treat.
• Make it extra special by frothing milk for a silky, café-style finish.
