What is done to the milk before adding it to any of the Teavana Royal English Breakfast Tea Lattes?

The milk used in a Teavana Royal English Breakfast Tea Latte is steamed for 3-5 seconds before being added to the tea. This brief steaming process heats the milk to a desirable temperature while incorporating just a little bit of foam, enhancing the texture and flavor of the latte. Steaming the milk helps to create a creamy, smooth consistency that complements the robust flavors of the tea, ensuring a balanced beverage. The steaming time is controlled to avoid overheating the milk, which can lead to a scalded taste and can negatively impact the overall experience of enjoying the latte. This practice aligns with standard preparation methods for tea lattes, providing a rich taste while maintaining the characteristic qualities of the tea.
