Tea in Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam

Indonesians that I know drink a very floral tea with plenty of sugar and no milk. It's called 'teh' in Indonesia.

Come to think of it one type is called 'teh bunga' which means flower tea.

There are some pretty decent rolled,fermented and roasted tea leaves from the highlands of Indonesia,particularly from around Bandung in Java as well as West Sumatra around Bukit Tinggi since the Dutch colonial era.
As MB(#1,2)mentioned,more often with sugar but no milk.They are also quite fond of iced tea with lime/lemon.
"Teh bunga" is probably dried chrysenthenam(?) or jasmin flowers brewed together with ordinary tea leaves to produce the aromatic fragrance.
An Indonesian friend of mine once had a small factory that produced ready made sweetened tea drink(no milk) in tetra packs and sold in the Indonesian supermarkets outlets and local small sundry shops around the country.
Not sure if they are still doing it.
Another old well established local bottled tea drink producer is "TehBot"brand which has been in the Indonesian local market for quite a long time and found in almost local drink stalls and "warungs"..

Clove in cigarettes but not Tea?

In Surabaya the favourite thirst quencher is teh manis, sweet tea, black tea with sugar.

In VN a lot of gree and jasmine tea are drunk. Often there's a pot of week tea on restaurant tables for free consumption.

No idea about the Phills.

thanks, keep it coming!

#4.Clove as well as cardamon flavoured tea with milk is quite popular with some of the ethnic South Asian and Middle Eastern communities who have settled down in some parts of Jakatar years ago.

I adore tea almost as much as I adore wine, OP.

But I am confused by your (to me) ramblings.

If ye refine yer questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

No idea about the Phills.
In fact, come to think of it, I don't remember seeing any tea apart from in Chinese restaurants.
