 Right flavor, but very very weak. August 30, 2010

This tea has the right general flavor for thai iced tea, but we haven't been able to get enough of that flavor out of it. Even after quadrupling the amount of tea per cup of water, it's still weak. I'm disappointed.

The shipping was a bit much, but it got to my house very fast using the standard shipping, and ordered two bags (to offset shipping cost) anyway I have been experimenting with different recipes to get that restaraunt taste, so far if you sweeten it with the condensed milk its good- but doesn't seperate like in restaurants so I am going to try some other variations, but the tea itself is awesome and smells wonderful- will buy again!

Followed the instructions that came with it and it came out perfect. YESS! Definitely worth trying..although the shipping price is a little on the ridiculous side...
Ohh, yum, finally found it! January 23, 2010

I'm crazy for Thai Iced Tea, somehow my boyfriend's affinity for Malaysian food has let me this amazing drink, now I can make it at home, my joy is hard to describe. This tastes just like the tea I used to order, the sweet, date like taste of milky, caramel-y creaminess is best drank cold, this mix is insanely easy to use and believe me, tastes like the real thing. There's something alluring to this slightly harvest-spice like drink that is creamy and cool at the same time, it's like visiting India and Antarctica at the same time. It might sound strange but I promise it's easy to drink, in fact too easy, I can drink it all day.
The tea comes in a large bag, looks just like the one pictured, inside is the loose twig like tea with small dried leaves with lemongrass pieces and spices. I heat it up in a stainless steel pot on the stove, one cup of cold water per one heaping teaspoon of tea. Boil 5 minutes, then strain through a paper towel lined mesh sieve, then cool it in the fridge. Once cold, it should be sweetened, I add simple syrup since it dissolves faster than sugar ( boil equal amounts of sugar and water, then cool and use to sweeten anything) and mix well, then pour over ice and top with evaporated milk. I drink it though a straw, and even add bubbles ( tapioca pearls) for a bubble tea like drink. This is sooo tasty and really easy to make in large amounts that I see myself making one now, good thing I have a batch chilling in the fridge as I type.
Great and refreshing drink that is simply addictive, but still good for you, hurray!

I ordered four bags of Por Kwan Thai Iced Tea Mix and they shipped quickly. I was unsure what to expect since I have never made Thai tea before, but when it says "tea mix" it is not in individual bags, nor is it dissolving tea mix, but is loose tea with a texture similar to coffee grounds. They even included brief instructions on preparing Thai Iced Tea on the stove, how much sugar and milk to add, etc. I was happy to discover after doing some googleing though that the tea is easily brewed using a coffee maker and coffee filter instead of the traditional method which requires a fabric tea bag thing that I don't have. I highly recommend this product and am excited to find it on Amazon after several unsuccessful trips to Asian food stores in search of Thai Tea.
