Recently, Thai Tea, which is many people’s favorite drink, has been ranked as the seventh most delicious soft drink in the world. We can say that our Thai Tea is now world-wide known. Our familiar Thai Orange Tea is now accepted for its deliciousness at the top of the world ranking. However, many people may not know the origin of Thai Ice Tea, so ACU PAY will tell you a history of it. Let’s start!
In the past, drinking tea was only for the upper-class people and often given to monks. It is popular to drink without milk or sugar. Later, Thai people were also influenced by Indian tea methods. Therefore, tea with milk and sugar is mainly drunk as hot tea.
In 1893, Nestle launched the first sweetened condensed milk brand in Thailand called MilkMade sweetened condensed milk, which makes drinking tea with milk and sugar more popular in Thailand. 10 years later, Thailand had the first ice factory which was able to produce ice to eat on its own. Also there was an ancient coffee shop in Phra Nakhon at that time. As a result, iced tea or Thai tea became more and more popular until it was called a menu item that all shops must have.
Originally, Ice Tea or Thai Tea is not naturally orange like we understand. Thai Tea is made from Ceylon Tea and the color base of the Ceylon Tea looks almost the same color as coffee, so people add star anise or spices to make the color of the tea more strong and have a beautiful orange color.
The name of orange tea, which continues to be debated to this day, can be easily divided as follows.
Thai tea or Thai Iced Tea is a name called by the foreigners. It is a hot tea with milk, sugar and ice. It is called Thai Tea because it can be found in Thailand only. No matter what name this drink is called, we have to admit that this orange tea is a favorite beverage in many people’s minds to relieve the heat. Also, this is a national drink that is appreciated by many foreigners. On a hot day like this, allow me to have a glass of Thai Iced Tea to refresh my mind. Bye…
