Cheese tea is cold tea topped with milk, cream cheese, and salt, creating a savory, frothy top with a subtle milky flavor. This drink is trending on social media and in cafes. You’re likely to see it on your Instagram feed thanks to its interesting flavor and unique texture. 

How to Drink It

If you sip cheese tea while keeping the cup parallel to the floor, you’ll only drink the foam and be left with a regular iced tea. To immerse yourself in the experience, tilt the cup to 45 degrees so you can get a tiny bit of the foam with each sip.

You can also top the beverage with a coffee lid to help spread out the foam among many sips instead of slurping it all at once. Plus, coffee lids will minimize the cheese mustache.

Where to Buy It 

You’re not likely to find cheese tea at a traditional tea shop any time soon. While it’s popular in Asia, this unique beverage is only available at specialty shops in the U.S. Head to boba shops, which are more likely to keep up with this trend.

How to Instagram It

If you want to share this trend, take a picture of the barista topping your iced tea with the cream cheese foam. Close-up action shots are not only engaging but also informative. Plus, images with people earn better ratings, even if it’s just the barista’s hands as they pour the foam. 

Other Instagram users take pictures enjoying the drink with a milk mustache. 

Order a brightly colored tea like matcha to contrast the white foam for extra visual interest. Make the tea house logo on the cup face the camera and tag your location so it’s clear where you bought such an interesting beverage.
