Pantainorasingh Thai Tea Mix, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

I got these because we had gone to a local Thai restaurant where they served this brand of tea and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I asked the waitress what they used and she brought out an empty bag of this tea. The tea is amazingly aromatic. I normally add sugar or lemon to my other teas, but this one needs nothing else because it is so flavorful. At the restaurant they made this in a drip coffee pot but since we only drink one or two cups each, we make it using an infuser as it is much easier to make a single cup. I like it steeped about 3 minutes in very hot water. The color is clear, dark with a hint of orange and the strength is perfect for me. You can steep longer for an even darker and stronger cup. Be careful, it doesn't day so on the bag, but I think this has caffeine. It says you can make iced tea with it, but we haven't tried that yet. It's a bit expensive but is definitely a nice treat.

After having a few Thai Teas, I decided to make my own. Found a great sweetened condensed milk, and now I always have it batched in the fridge. This was the first one I tried because of reviews, and it really tastes like the one you get from a shop! Thought about trying another brand, but I’m too happy with this one.

This brand is the real deal; tastes authentic & delicious!!! I purchased the 4-pack (cheapest, on Amazon)... I've made 3 batches already, using a recipe by Foodnetwork: Jet Tila (Thai Chef). I'm a real tough critic and this brand & recipe, are definitely worth the $ and efforts, if you're looking for an "authentic" Thai Iced Tea; one where you'd find at you're local Thai Restaurant! "Jet Tila's Recipe": (*Makes "approx." 3-12oz cup/servings IF you use Half&Half, to top off drink) -4 cups of Water; Bring to a boil on Medium-Low heat, before adding Tea... -1/2 cup of Thai Tea Mix; Steep for 5-10mins.... -1 cup of Sugar; Add, directly into pot, stir until dissolved... *At the end of the "steeping" process & once sugar has dissolved, Tea is ready to be strained then, chilled before serving w/ "Half&Half" creamer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED brand of tea & recipe! My husband (Caucasian/Native) and I (Cambodian/American), really enjoyed it; (+/-) "the amount of Sugar"; Slightly, too sweet for him but, perfect for me b/c this is how I remember it tasting, growing up in MD! I forgot to mention how good the tea smells & fills up the kitchen when cooking it; My mother-in-law "can't" stand any other smells of food, other than typical American foods (ie: hamburgers, hot dogs, cigarette smoke, and alcohol...) BUT, she awoke to the smell of "chocolate"(!?!?) cooking vs. the actual fragrance of "VANILLA", from the tea!!! Goes to show her degree & knowledge of ANY OTHER types of "good" foods in the world, besides the typical all-American cuisine; not to mention, she (and her Husband) doesn't even use "salt/pepper" in ANY of her non-existent cooking!!!???

I agree with other reviewers that this is the best Thai tea. I've tried a couple others and this is definitely the most flavorful and best smelling. My only complaint is too much food coloring. It will stain towels or shirts. There is inconsistency between bags as some have bigger "little twigs" and another had more fine "tea dust", but taste was consistent.

I have tried several Thai tea brands and this is by far the most authentic. Taste just like the tea at the local Thai restaurant. This is loose tea leaves, which is what you need if you want it to taste authentic.

After trial and error I now consecutive brew this tea, reusing the tea leaves for at least 3 servings from the package directions and brewing the first brew for no more than 40 seconds, then no more than 60, and so on. The ingredient list is a bit confusing because it only says green tea (isn't it black? I tried preparing it as green once out of curiosity (cooler water temp) and it wasn't good) and food coloring, but it smells like there are flavorings added. I normally don't even buy things with food coloring, but Thai tea is a special treat anyway. I use the water bubbles method for figuring the water's temperature to 195-205 degrees F. I recommend adding a combination of condensed milk, milk and sugar, otherwise I don't quite get the right flavor or end up making it too sweet. All together they work perfect. I usually drink it hot. It's a very enjoyable tea, but I still prefer my local Thai restaurant's version since I feel a bit... clearer? after drinking it, and wish the ingredient list made sense. I may test different types of sugar or additions as I go. The leaves get really crammed together and trap lots of liquid.

It is delicious tea.

Yummy
