Brilliant innovations and ideas are always within the food & beverages industry. Never-ending trends come and go in a blink of an eye. Within, some products are immune because the need for them has been ingrained in certain demographics. Take tea for example. It is nearly impossible for people to not find tea on the menu of restaurants and cafes in Indonesia. The revenue generated by tea products alone amounts to US$4.77 billion in 2023. Experts predict that the market may grow by 4.73% CAGR annually from 2023 to 2025.

However, a trend is not a trend without the existence of innovation. After the never-ending trend of bubble milk tea, it is one trend after the other. Fusing cheese foam into food has also been a hot trend coming from Taiwanese street food vendors. Though the idea of adding cheese to tea sounded unappetizing, it eventually made its way to customers’ hearts. Nowadays, the addition of cheese foam into milk tea is more favored by customers due to its texture and salty flavor that balances the sweetness.

To make a perfect cheese foam, there are several attributes to take into consideration: creamy and viscous mouthfeel, cheesy and milky aroma, and milky taste. Moreover, there is a way to make cheese foam healthier by replacing sugar.
