A 15-Botanical Thai Blend, Built on Jewel Vine
Tapee Tea isn’t a single-note herbal. It’s a layered blend of 15 traditional Thai botanicals, led by Jewel Vine (Derris scandens) at roughly 65% of the recipe — the woody, gently earthy heart that gives every cup its deep, rounded base. Around it sit Thai Black Ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) for warm, peppery depth; Siamese cardamom for a bright, resinous aroma; cinnamon and star anise for natural sweetness and warmth; Cat’s Whiskers (Orthosiphon aristatus) for a clean, leafy note; sandalwood and vetiver for smooth woody undertones; Sea Holly for a light, herbaceous note; plus Goji Berry, orange blossom, lovage, sand ginger and star anise, among others. The complete ingredient list is printed on every pack.
Caffeine-Free, No Added Sugar
Because Tapee Tea is herbal, it’s naturally caffeine-free — a Thai infusion you can enjoy any time of day. There’s no added sugar and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives; the gentle sweetness comes from botanicals like cinnamon, star anise and orange blossom. Finely ground and sealed into convenient tea bags, so a full-bodied, deep-amber cup is ready in minutes.

How to Brew Tapee Tea — Taste & Aroma
Steep one tea bag in freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes — longer for a stronger, earthier cup. The result is warm and earthy, with a woody Jewel Vine base lifted by cinnamon, cardamom and star anise, and a clean, lightly sweet finish with no bitterness. It’s a savory-leaning herbal cup rather than a sweet or fruity one. Enjoy it plain, with a little honey or lemon, or chilled over ice.
