Where Kopi Cham Comes From
In Malaysia, they call it Kopi Cham. In Hong Kong, it's yuenyeung. Either way, it's coffee and tea together, and it's been a thing way before your FYP found it.
It's the drink for people who genuinely can't choose between their coffee break and their tea break, so they don't. Half the caffeine kick of coffee, all the smooth, sweetened comfort of Southern Breeze. No sugar spoon required.
Kopi Cham FAQs
Do I need to add sugar to this recipe?
No. Southern Breeze Original Cold Brew is pre-sweetened, so your Kopi Cham comes out sweet and balanced without adding a single spoonful.
Can I make Kopi Cham with hot tea instead of cold brew?
This recipe is built for cold brew because it steeps in just 5 minutes in cold water, no boiling, no waiting. If you only have Family Size on hand, brew it hot per the package instructions, then chill it before mixing.
How much caffeine is in a Kopi Cham?
You're combining a caffeinated tea bag with a full cup of brewed coffee, so this one's got a kick, perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.
What's the difference between Kopi Cham and yuenyeung?
They're the same idea by two different names: Kopi Cham in Malaysia, yuenyeung in Hong Kong. Both mix coffee and sweet milk tea into one glass.
