tesco, giant, jusco etc etc..

I mean the cheap tea that they use for free-flow in the Chinese restaurant.. you know if you go for a wedding dinner, they always serve that tea, it's brown and must be cheap, because there's free flow and they keep refilling your glass? that tea.

I've seen the purple cane website, they can't be serving that tea free flow because they'd go bankrupt, it's free and people drink a lot of it

http://www.tearestaurant.com.my/ <-- the one in the first picture.. what's it called? the tea you get when you order suet cha in a chinese coffee shop, I think that's the same one?
