Thai Milk Tea

The Story

Thai tea gets its colour from a blend of black tea and spices. The orange is intense, almost neon, and it comes from the tea itself. We brew it strong, the way it is served at street stalls, then pour condensed milk over the top so it swirls down through the glass.

The flavour is bold. There is a spiced warmth in there, something close to star anise, along with the sweetness of the condensed milk. It is sweeter than our other milk teas because that is how Thai tea works. The condensed milk is not optional. It is the point.

If you have had Thai tea at a restaurant before, this will taste familiar. We do not water it down. The colour stays orange, the flavour stays strong, and the pearls give it a chewy finish that the restaurant version never has.
