Shocked, confused then pleasantly surprised.

Shocked: After learning about the proud tradition of Tea Production in Malaysia, during our visit to the Cameron Highlands, I have been shocked and dismayed to discover that in other parts of the country, tea (or liquid gold as it referred to due it always rising in price) is made with some kind of instant powder. Moreover, if you order it with milk and sugar it comes looking like an upside down cup of Guinness, which you have to stir to make it look like tea. And I can assure you, it tastes nothing like a cup of Cameron Highlands Tea.
Confused: Due to this truama I did not want to make the same mistake twice, so the next time I needed a hot drink I asked for coffee. Only to be served a cup with a bag full of ground coffee floating on top. Confused? Dazzled more like!
Pleasantly surprised: However, on this occasion my cup of hot brew was absolutely delightful and I was abe to restart our trip with the knowledge that not all Malaysians have lost their mind.
Conclusions: DON'T MESS ABOUT WITH TEA!
You can put anything in a bag, but you cannot make liquid gold in an instant.
