What is Thai Tea?

This black tea variety originates from Southeast Asia and it is made from strong brewed Chinese black tea leaves. Now, what makes this liquor such a surprising tea, you may ask. Its ingredients are the secret!

Star anise powder, orange blossom water, crushed tamarind seed, cinnamon, vanilla and rose tea leaves are some of the ingredients that give Thai black tea its unique aroma and flavor.

It is served both hot and cold, but it is most frequently served on ice. You can also drink it with milk and sweeten it with sugar or condensed milk.

Curiously, in Thailand, people don’t have the habit of sitting and enjoying their tea, mostly because there aren’t any places to sit at tea shops. However, they still appreciate this wonder of nature and take their ice tea on the go.

Yes, a small plastic bag and a straw is enough to get Thai people to drink their favorite tea at work and still appreciate the benefits of drinking black tea.

Now that you know what Thai tea is and what makes it so different, it’s time to prepare some Thai tea recipes and enter a new world of sensations.
