Thai Tails & Trails — Thai Tea Blend

Thai Tails & Trails brings the iconic flavor of Thai iced tea into your cup at home. Bold Ceylon black tea blends with warm star anise, cardamom, and a hint of vanilla in a recipe inspired by the beloved street tea of Southeast Asia. Rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying — hot or iced, this blend delivers serious flavor.

The Taste of Thai Tea, Elevated

Traditional Thai tea (cha yen) is known for its deep orange color, spiced sweetness, and the creamy richness that comes from condensed milk. Thai Tails & Trails captures those classic spice notes — star anise, cardamom, and vanilla — on a full-bodied Ceylon black tea base. Add sweetened condensed milk or oat cream to get as close to the street-food original as possible from your own kitchen.

Making the Perfect Thai Iced Tea

Brew 2 tsp in 6 oz of boiling water for 4–5 minutes (strong concentrate). Sweeten while hot. Pour over a full glass of ice. Add 2–3 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk or coconut cream — it will cascade through the ice for that classic layered look. Stir, sip, and be transported to a Bangkok street market.
