About Me: Why I Started this Sippin Tea Budget blog

 Hi, I’m Annabel and I LOVE tea especially milk tea!



But surprise… I’m not really into boba.  I don’t mind having it now and then, but if there’s a choice, I usually skip the pearls and go straight for the tea.

What I really love is discovering good teas — especially fruit teas, black teas, and milk teas made with fresh milk and quality ingredients. I try to choose options that are both tasty and not too artificial.

But here’s the problem:

1. There are just too many brands out there! I’ve tried drinks from certain well-known chains and didn’t like them, only to be told by friends that I chose the “wrong” drink. According to them, I shouldn't judge a whole brand by one bad experience. Okay... fair. But then, what should I try? Everyone seems to have a different recommendation — and I get confused.

2. Milk tea isn’t cheap. If you crave it often (like I do), it adds up , both in money and sugar.

So, with those two dilemmas — too many options and price concerns,  I had a little lightbulb moment 💡! 

This blog is my solution

This isn’t exactly a review blog, for the simple fact that everyone has different taste buds.

Instead, I put together curated lists to help people like me make smarter, quicker choices,  without wasting money or calories

What you'll find here :

• Top 5 best selling drinks to try from popular milk tea brands

• Best budget tea bags you can buy at the supermarket

• Affordable black teas that pair well with milk

• Budget herbal tea picks for everyday sipping

• Occasional DIY ideas for making milk tea at home

Basically, this blog is my way of sharing what I discover:  the shortcuts, best picks, and smarter buys , so you can enjoy good tea without the stress or overspending.

Hope you find something helpful here. Happy sipping!
