Tea BricksThailand Teas
Tea holds a special place in Thailand’s cultural and social fabric, offering a rich tradition that dates back centuries. The country is renowned for its unique varieties of tea, such as the aromatic Thai iced tea, also known as “cha yen,” which is a popular beverage featuring strongly brewed tea sweetened with sugar and condensed milk.
Additionally, the northern regions of Thailand, particularly Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, are home to flourishing tea plantations where green tea, Oolong tea, and other premium teas are cultivated. These regions benefit from the perfect blend of climate and soil, contributing to the high quality of Thai tea.

History of Tea from Thailand
Cultivated in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern Thailand, tea production started in the area when Chinese escaping the revolution in China were invited to settle in Northern Thailand. With them they brought not only their families but their culture, including their love of tea.
Tea plantations were established on the Doi Tung and Doi Mae Salong mountains and they started to produce fine Thai Oolong Tea. Chiang Mai is another area of tea production, a particularly famous tea plantation in the area is Araksa plantation. Chiang Mai is also full of incredible tea shops, just like the Northern Mountains are where you can visit the Siam Tea Shop.
Oolong from Thailand
The Oolong Tea produced in the region is said to be one of the finest in the world but Thailand does produce other varieties of tea alongside oolong. Green teas and more recently, black teas which are produced from tea plants imported from Taiwan.
Thai teas are sometimes marketed as red tea, although this shouldn’t be confused with the South African rooibos tea as it is in fact the same as what the Western world usually refer to as black tea. It is often known as red tea in Asia due to the colour of the liquor when steeped. Thailand now exports around 200 tons of tea per year and is making a name for itself in the tea world.
Thai Teas From the Mountains
The Doi Tung Mountain famously produces organic Thai tea. In the 1980’s the area underwent a reforestation and development program overseen by the royal family. It was decided that the development program should reproduce natural conditions so no chemical or hazardous substances are used on the crops.
Thailand is producing some fine teas and you can buy Thai tea from our small selection including Choui Fong Tea and our Thailand Jinxuan Oolong tea.
