Rather than making a cappuccino with a shot of espresso, the newest Argo Tea drink swaps this essential for a base of tea instead. This revitalized milk tea product is shelf-stable and the brand's variety of flavors come in an assortment of ready to drink bottles.
The tea-based beverages include Chai, Earl Grey Vanilla Creme and Green Tea Strawberry Creme, which pair green tea or black tea with milk and spice infusions like bergamot and cinnamon.
Since the foam is really what separates a cappuccino from other hot coffee drinks, the bottles can simply be shaken to cause the frothy chilled beverages to resemble the familiar hot drink. These chilled flavored milk tea drinks are comparable to bottled Frappuccino beverages.
