On Site: Fête Chinoise Team

Fête Chinoise was on site to taste some of the new and creative soy milk drinks by seven different bubbletea brands in Ontario. Each brand used the Vitasoy Cafe for Baristas Soy Drink to innovate new flavours and blends. So if you enjoy the sweet and smooth taste of milk tea and also want a dairy-free option, you're in luck! Soy milk can make anyone's bubbletea game stronger and is a great alternative to traditional milk. For lactose intolerant folks, which is a common trait amongst Chinese Canadians, these drinks will be a true delight. With the hand-crafted Cafe for Baristas Soy Drink selections below, be prepared to be amazed by how the creamy taste of soy complements and elevates every flavour profile!

Xing Fu Tang
The creators at Xing Fu Tang are very proud of the blend of flavours created with rose tea and Kirin tea – as they should be. The sourness of the rose tea is muted by the Vitasoy Cafe for Baristas, making it a perfect match. While for the Kirin oolong tea, the combination is intensified by a hint of honey that brings out the richness of the tea itself.
Because soy milk is not as sweet as the traditional milk that is normally used, it took time to experiment and find the best balance between soy milk and tea, Xing Fu Tang tells us. And we can say that we were very impressed by both teas and they were our favourite drinks of the ones we tried!

HeySugAR
The innovators of the two signature drinks at HeySugar can’t decide which one is the best because they are confident in both creations. The Cheese Foam Milk Tea with Vitasoy-flavoured Jelly uses Vitasoy as a topping that is chewable — bringing a fresh experience to guests. The Strawberry Tea with Vitasoy is a re-creation of a childhood drink known as the Strawberry Vitasoy Drink. For this drink, Hey Sugar used the newly launched Four Seasons Tea, which comes from their exclusive tea plantation, pairing it with Vitasoy Cafe for Baristas product and strawberry purée. Sweet but not heavy, the delicious contents are a match made in food heaven.
It’s trendy to be healthy and HeySugar has been embracing this trend for a while now. They love to improve existing recipes and enjoyed this collaboration very much. Substituting milk with soy milk was a smooth process for them and we can’t wait for you to check out one of their three locations below!

Tiger Sugar
Have you ever had the soft tofu dessert? Imagine that but with black sugar, tapioca, and a light creamy soy milk taste! Closer to the traditional “tofu flower” (豆腐花) dessert, Tiger Sugar amalgamated various flavours and textures in this signature drink. They pride themselves in the “tiger stripes” of their drinks — signifying not only a mix of diverse flavours but also attention to aesthetics.

Palgong Tea
The inventors at Palgong Tea found it extremely easy to use soy milk as a substitute! Their favourite creation is the Coconut Chai Latte with Vitasoy Cafe for Baristas product because “the chai helps to enhance the richness of the soy product.” Don’t forget to check out their other drinks: Matcha with Vitasoy; Hazelnut Cocoa with Vitasoy; and Red Bean Latte with Vitasoy.
