Cardamom Thai Tea brings you our flavorful take on the classic drink from Thailand. Smooth and rich, making cream and sugar optional. Anise provides a deep, pervasive spiciness that melds with the black tea, while cardamom intersperses piney, aromatic accents. A nutty texture brings it all together, leaving sweet impressions as spice lingers.

When it comes to the sweet and creamy version of Thai Tea, we won't quibble about authentic preparations; if it tastes good, we'll drink it. Some recipes call for sweetened condensed milk, while others call for cream and sugar, or non-dairy creamer and honey. Some people like a splash of vanilla. Remember, if you pour your tea over ice, brew a double-strength batch to start. (Or make tea ice cubes ahead of time for the most consistent flavor, start to finish.)

Brew a treat for yourself, or impress your friends with this easy-to-prepare, even easier-to-drink, gourmet beverage. Enjoy hot or cold. We find the mellow spiciness pairs especially well with desserts!

Be aware Cardamom Thai Tea contains no orange food coloring often found in a "Thai Tea".

A made in Montana tea.

Riley G. ★★★★★

The anise really comes through—deep and almost peppery—but it doesn't overpower the smooth black tea base. I usually add sugar to Thai tea, but this one's rich enough that I've been drinking it plain all week.

Henry G. ★★★★★

Brewed a pot this morning and skipped the sugar completely—the cardamom and anise make it sweet enough on their own. Poured over ice with a splash of milk it's the smoothest iced tea I've had in ages.

John J. ★★★★★

The anise really comes through—it’s that deep, pervasive spice that makes the whole cup smell incredible before you even sip. I usually add a splash of milk, but this tea is so smooth and rich on its own that I’ve stopped bothering.
