  I'm not sure what Hong Kong style tastes like, but I make really strong black tea, brewed in half regular milk, half condensed milk and add sugar, it comes pretty close to the kind I used to have in Japan.

  this is only if you can stand it, but take two lipton's and steep it until the tea is black (about 10 min) and just use carnation's sweetened condense milk. the lipton's that's available here in the U.S. is horrible, but it is getting better because other tea companies are doing well here
  
  since i normally hate lipton's, i do a variation and use good english breakfast tea leaves or bags (any brand) and use vanilla flavored coffee-mate and two packs of sugar per cup.

    yes - i love the lipton's tea available in asia. it's called yellow label tea. i bought several boxes when i was in vietnam so i'm pretty sure that's what they'd use hong kong.

      yeah, for some reason, Lipton's made the executive decision to only offer crappy tea here in the u.s.! outside of the u.s., their tea is great!
      
      what's wrong with the head honchos there?

  so i've been told that in HK, the tea blends are kept secret and that condensed milk is a big no-no... real milk is added and it's up to you sweeten to taste using sugar.

    For a rich milky taste, try using evaporated milk (unsweetened) instead of condensed. That way you can make the tea creamier without it becoming sweeter.
