With the majority of the population being tea drinkers, the city has a variety of different flavours of tea that suits even the most unusual palates. A stop by the Chinese Medicine Shop will have an array of herbal and medicinal teas that are quite popular with the locals of the city.

Another popular tea concoction is known as Yuan- Yang which is a clever mix of coffee and milk tea, which solves every tea and coffee lover’s dilemma of not knowing what to pick!
Sugar cane juice, derived from the juice of sugar cane is a favourite amongst the locals and can mostly be bought from street vendors in the Central district provides a great choice for those craving a sugar rush.A healthier option to try is the Watercress honey drink which is rich vitamin C and fiber can be bought from local restaurants.
At the other end of the drink spectrum are a mouthwatering selection of alcoholic beverages that are free flowing all over the city. Tsingtao beer is native to China and is high in malt and with a tinge of hops, making it easier to drink. Whisky lovers would find that Whiskey@Stables at Hullett House offers over 100 kinds of whiskeys, like the famous Kaolian and Maotai. Other famous alcoholic drinks include Zhianjing, a rice wine that is usually served hot and Liang Hua Pei a strong plum brandy.
