As a licensed Kung Fu Tea franchise, Steelestech follows corporate recipe standards (3T brewing: tea leaves, temperature, time) so Pearl Milk Tea and 38 Milk King taste familiar to other U.S. and Canada locations — local hours and promos vary by store. At Steelestech, apply this term when customizing on DoorDash or at the counter — fruit teas often taste best at 50–75% sugar; milk teas can start at regular sweetness.
