What is Thai Tea?

The leaves are a necessity when it comes to making Thai Tea. Originating from Southeast Asia, more specifically Thailand, it has become one of the most popular drinks at beverage shops and other restaurants. It has a light creamy texture that can be enjoyed as a drink or ice cream.

This tea possesses a unique color that makes it stand out among other drinks. When served, it usually comes in two layers. The first portion, which is a dark orange, fills up about 70% of the cup, while the other 30% contains either non-dairy creamer, milk, or milk alternative. It is an interactive drink in the sense that customers have the honor of mixing the two layers of color together.
