Yuanyang is a popular beverage in Hong Kong, made of a mixture of coffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea. It was originally served at dai pai dongs and cha chaan tengs, but is now available in various types of restaurants. It can be served hot or cold.[1] The name yuanyang, which refers to mandarin ducks, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture, as the birds usually appear in pairs and the male and female look very different.[2] This same connotation of "pair" of two unlike items is used to name this drink.[1]
Many Westerners dispute whether Hong Kong invented yuanyang drinks as such. Some call it as a Dutch serving, while others claim to have independently invented the drink of mixing tea and coffee. Various individuals have combined coffee with tea, sometimes using the name CoffTea or Tea Espress. The concept was suggested on HalfBakery in 2000[3] and singer Peter Andre claimed to have invented CoffTea in an interview in 2004.[4] In an interview with the New York Observer in October 2006, Sandra Blund recommended combining Savarin with chamomile tea in a ratio of 2 to 1, or combining organic Bolivian coffee and White Rose tea in equal parts.[5] However, Yuanyang has predated these claims by at least fifty years.
