L- C2 Milky Tea 230ml R- C2 Milky Tea billboard along Barracks, Cebu City
"You're favorite tea...now with cream" was more than enough to get me excited, being a milk tea lover. I got my first taste of the yummy milk tea traveling to Hong Kong and ever since then, I considered it my favorite drink next to water.
When the milk tea craze set foot first in Manila and then gradually Cebu, that got me very excited. And it didn't take long for URC to make their own bottled version.
I can only speak for my experience in Cebu but the launching and distribution of this product was very disappointing. They have a TVC that showed on national TV and even in January 2012, there was already a huge billboard near Grand Convention Center (which was how I found out about the new product) that of course, made me expect for it to be in-store already. Went to Metro Gaisano Ayala and got disppointed the first time, went to Fooda the next day and got disappointed the second time; Colonnade after a week and got disappointed the third time, went to Gaisano Countrymall for my 4th disapoointment and still no C2 Milky Tea. Robinson's BTC should have it after all Robinson's and URC are sister companies. But still no C2 Milky Tea that time and I was just beginning to think that the billboard really is just a waste of their rental space because it couldn't be found anywhere in Cebu. I finally gave up my search up until last week when I went back to Robinson's BTC and finally, after months of searching, they finally had it though it only came in the 230ml bottle and nothing bigger.
But, C2 Milky Tea did not disappoint!! I love the taste...just like the milk teas that I'm used to and the whole bottle is apparently just 100 calories. Unfortunately, there's none of the black pearls that makes the milk tea experience complete. Still, a must-try for all milk tea lovers out there.
