Tieguanyin Afternoon Menu for Coffee Shops
Coffee shops can extend the afternoon menu with Tieguanyin cold brew, milk tea, roasted latte, sparkling tea and tea coffee. Position these as distinct tea-based choices, not as caffeine-free or medically better than coffee.

How to make the range easy to buy
- Group by experience: floral and refreshing, creamy and roasted, sparkling and coffee-tea.
- Name the tea: write Tieguanyin or oolong so customers understand the drink contains tea.
- Show the difference: use amber liquor, visible citrus, milk layering or a clear cold-brew bottle.
- Standardize grams: record tea concentrate, milk, syrup, water, ice and finished yield.
- Train one sentence: "Tieguanyin is an aromatic oolong tea; this drink contains tea caffeine and the amount depends on the recipe."
Seven-day cafe test
- Select TG-02 for a core milk drink and TG-04 for a roasted premium drink.
- Calibrate one tea concentrate per base using the published brew standard.
- Build classic milk tea, roasted latte and coffee tonic first.
- Score aroma after ice, milk compatibility, preparation time and customer clarity.
- Repeat the best recipe with a second staff member.
- Photograph the final cup and save the exact ingredient weights.
- Keep the two drinks that are repeatable and easy to explain.
Caffeine wording and evidence boundary
Tea leaves naturally contain caffeine. The European Food Safety Authority notes that caffeine content and serving sizes vary across products and preparation styles. See EFSA: Caffeine.
Use factual language: contains tea caffeine; caffeine varies by recipe; exact values require a defined formula and testing. Avoid caffeine-free, guaranteed low-caffeine, safer than coffee or suitable-for-everyone claims without evidence.
