Furthermore, each Series comprises different beverages with different nutritional values. Take the Classic Series, for example. There are five different drinks: Kung Fu Black Tea, Kung Fu Green/Oolong Tea, Kung Fu Honey Tea/Honey Black/Honey Green/Honey Oolong Tea, Longan Jujube Tea, and Winter Melon Tea/Green Tea/Oolong Tea.
Each drink has Medium and Large/Hot sizes with varying Sugar Levels including 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100%, and 120%. This way, you are sure of the nutritional value of what you are gulping down. You should also not forget to confirm the carbs rating of whatever you select.
