Thai black tea is an old and favorite drink of the inhabitants of this country. Tea has an interesting, very unusual, pleasant taste of milk caramel, it does not look like ordinary tea. Thai black tea can be drunk hot, traditionally adding sugar or honey, or it can be prepared the way the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Thailand love it – with milk and ice.
