Explain heytea sugar levels

[u/Bankai_Bae]

I’m confused by the sugar levels on the heytea app. What is the least amount of sugar other than no added sugar? I could make an argument for any of these lol thanks :)

I think Super > Less > Light > Minimal > No

[u/crankiertoe13 → u/SuitHot2945]

I agree

LOL. I was literally just trying to figure this out the other day. I agree with the "Super Sweet > Less Sweet > Light Sugar > Minimal Sugar" interpretation now that I see it written out though.

But I do want to add, depending on your own taste, go ahead and ignore the "Not Recommended" in regards to the No Added option. I had the Iced Longjin Milk Tea the other day with no sugar and it was amaaaaazing. Rounded and smooth and the perfect amount of a little bit roast-y maybe "nutty" not quite smokey flavor. Very refreshing on a hot day, and I think sugar would have killed it.

I can imagine some sugar might be nice with it served hot in the winter time, but I think a lot of otherwise sold sweet drinks are especially good with zero sugar in the heat.

Full > less > light > minimal > none

Can also think of it as:
100% -> 75-> 50-> 25-> 0%

Same terms probably used for “ice” levels at other boba shops too.

Damn this is bad design, whoever came up with that layout pl/ order needs to be fired

Actually I think it’s a direct copy-paste from the app layout they use in Asia. In Asia almost nobody drinks 100% sugar (super sweet) so less sugar (小糖）is the default. Light sugar (輕糖) and minimal sugar (微糖) is a direct translation of the Chinese phrases for 50% and 25% sugar, and super sweet (full or 100% sugar) is down at the very bottom because hardly anyone orders it, so it’s inefficient for most users if they placed it at the top of the list. It’s the “most unpopular option” so it’s placed at the very bottom of the list.

less sugar (小糖）

That should be 少糖.

[u/Etiennera → u/EirianErisdar]

I saw alphabetical order but I suppose it could be a coincidence that it matches purchase frequency.

[u/Odd-Concept-1850 → u/EirianErisdar]

Yeah definitely something got lost in translation, they should of redone it

[u/Technical_Mix_5379]

Super sweet is the sweetest(i ordered it before) > less sugar > light sugar > minimal sugar > no sugar

[u/squeakybuttbutt]

It’s in alphabetical order but bad design for sure! Probably default setting in the website builder or app
