Thai Tea Blend
Name: Thai Tea Blend
Kathy's Rating: 7.5/10.0
Company: Teavana
Origin of tea: Africa and Sri Lanka
Price: $5.50/2 oz.
Tea form: Loose black tea with rooibos, coconut, almonds, and vanilla flavoring.
What they say: A delightful Thai restaurant blend of black and red teas, Hawaiian coconut pieces, almonds, and authentic Madagascar vanilla beans. Enjoy this delicious tea chilled with milk and Rock Cane Sugar.
Preparation method: Pour boiling water over leaves and infuse for 4 minutes.
Review: I'm a big fan of Thai iced tea drinks, so I was really looking forward to trying this Teavana blend. It was actually really good. Although it doesn't taste exactly like the tea mix used at Thai restaurants, it's very, very close. This is the kind of tea that would be great with sugar, ice, and cream in the summertime. I rated this tea a 7.5/10.0, which is a good rating. If you're a fan of coconut and vanilla (who isn't?), definitely try this tea. It's almost like having dessert.
