Served hot or cold and packed with caffeine, milk tea is the national drink of Vekllei.

Coffee might be more fashionable, especially among the kids, but milk tea is the comfort drink of millions of Atlantic and Caribbean people. Coffee is conspicuous; you drink it in public and with friends to show you’re cosmopolitan and cool like an American. You can impress your classmates by showing preference for different brews.

Tea is the drink of homes and workplaces, an echo of the global empire in their wake.
