Does Thai Chai tea have caffeine?

One of the most common questions is whether Thai Chai contains caffeine. The answer is yes. Black tea is the main ingredient in Thai tea which has a higher caffeine content compared to other types of tea. So, if you're looking for a pick-me-up, Thai tea can definitely give you that energy boost you need.

Recommended brewing method

We suggest you brew the tea with two full teaspoons of black tea per 8 oz of water. This allows the flavors to fully develop and ensures a rich and robust taste when served hot. Chai Thai tea is a delightful beverage to enjoy hot or iced.

Thai tea vs Chai tea

In India, the word "chai" means tea. Traditional Indian-style chai has spices added, known as the popular Masala Chai, or "spiced chai".

Thai tea originated in Thailand in the late 20th century. It is typically prepared using Ceylon black tea, sugar, and condensed milk. Thai iced tea is a common preparation. The tradition in Thailand doesn't usually involve the use of spices.

The addition of artificial food coloring gives it that vibrant orange color, making it visually appealing as well. However, numerous English-modified recipes inspired by Thai tea incorporate elements like star anise or cardamom to accentuate the flavor.

This popularity in Thailand is also a symbol of welcome. Guests are often greeted with a cup of Chai Thai tea. The combination of the sweet and creamy flavors, along with the vibrant color, makes it a truly inviting and enjoyable experience.

Whether you add the sugar, and sweetened condensed milk for a creamy and sweet flavor is your choice.

So, brew a cup and savor every sip of this delightful beverage. Its unique blend of flavors and cultural significance make it a truly special drink.
