DING TEA 28A Xuan La — Restaurant in Hà Nội

For a real milk tea, you have to select "latte". Very tricky and misleading.

Black tea flavor : under average

Milk tea : NO MILK; they use a mysterious powder from mysterious origin. But in practice, doing a bit of research on what those powders contain you will find hydrogenated vegetable oils (full of inflammatory byproducts), glucose syrup solids, caseinates (milk-derived proteins), artificial flavorings. Most non-dairy creamers used in Vietnam come from: China, Thailand, Malaysia... more health informations at the end of my comment.

Staff : joyful.

Special mention : big headache right after drinking their "milk" tea even without sugar. So it could come from the powder, the cream or the aloe jellies

I will come back to test their "latte".

More information about creamer powders :

"Non-dairy creamer, widely used in milk tea across Asia, is an ultra-processed compound primarily made of hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils such as palm, corn, or soybean oil, which are rich in oxidized omega-6 fatty acids and often contain trans fats, both of which promote chronic low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular stress. To mimic creaminess, manufacturers add glucose syrup solids and maltodextrin—high-glycemic, rapidly absorbed carbohydrates that spike insulin levels and contribute to fat accumulation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysregulation. Caseinates (sodium or calcium) are included as protein stabilizers, posing minimal issues unless misleadingly marketed as “non-dairy” to those with allergies. Phosphates like dipotassium or tripotassium phosphate act as chemical stabilizers but can, in excess, burden the kidneys and disturb mineral homeostasis. Emulsifiers such as mono- and diglycerides (E471, E472), derived from industrial seed oils, interfere with gut integrity and may increase intestinal permeability. Artificial flavors are often petrochemical in origin and may contain neurotoxic solvent residues. In some cases, whitening agents such as titanium dioxide (E171), a suspected carcinogen, are used to achieve a milk-like opacity, while anti-caking agents like silicon dioxide keep the powder free-flowing but contribute nothing nutritionally. Thickeners including carrageenan, guar gum, or xanthan gum are added for texture, though carrageenan in particular has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation in animal models. Altogether, this formulation delivers zero nutritional benefit while taxing metabolic, renal, and hepatic systems. Regular consumption may promote systemic inflammation, destabilize glucose control, damage gut flora, elevate cardiovascular risk, and encourage progression toward chronic inflammatory conditions, all under the guise of a sweet, creamy beverage."

Don't use any cream for the same reasons (non-dairy creams use cheap...

Clean and decent place. But the tea is not to my liking. Too diluted.. I like my tea strong...
