About Thailand
Tea Plantation, Mae Salong, Thailand, © ronan crowley, CC BY-ND 2.0.What Thailand lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. Thailand produces green and oolong teas; some of these teas are among the most expensive and most desired teas, and are consumed in regions such as Taiwan with a strong demand for high-quality teas. Thailand also produces organic teas. Unfortunately, most of these teas are not widely available in the U.S.
Thailand is also the country that originated "Thai iced tea", a strongly brewed black tea mixed with spices, sugar, and condensed milk and/or coconut milk. In the U.S., Thai iced tea, often brewed from teas grown in other countries, is much more well-known than tea actually grown in Thailand.
