Wild Thai Black

"This is my new favorite black tea...full-bodied and malty. Great with oat milk and some maple syrup!" - Paul W.

Full-bodied and malty with hints of stone fruit and cinnamon, this vivacious black tea is shaped by wild highland gardens in northern Thailand. Great for those seeking a rustic, adventurous cup at breakfast.

A black tea from untamed mountain forests—lively and rich with hints of black cherry and cinnamon

For those seeking a single-origin breakfast tea from off the beaten path, look no further than Wild Thai Black. We source this tea from old-growth forest gardens in Doi Chiang Dao, a remote mountainous region with a history of tea cultivation that dates back centuries.

Our partnering farmers work in harmony with nature, cultivating seed-grown broadleaf assamica tea trees amongst native trees, herbs, wildflowers, birds and beneficial insects. The soils are naturally enriched by plant matter, grazing cattle and the seasonal monsoon, eliminating the need for synthetic inputs.

The rich soils of Doi Chiang Dao feed deep-reaching roots that produce polyphenol- and tannin-rich leaves, contributing to Wild Thai Black’s ruby red liquor and impressive complexity. It’s the cup you reach for when you want something with a bit more kick than your typical colonial heritage tea. Brew it strong and sip it as an alternative to espresso.

    Flavorless

    Although this is a black tea, it's very bland. At I tried using more tea and steeping a bit longer, but it didn't change much.

    I'm quite fond of the other flavors I've tried, but this one is not a keeper.

    Hi Maureen, we're really sorry to hear that the Wild Thai Black came across as bland, especially since you've enjoyed our other blends. We appreciate you giving this tea a try and experimenting with different steeping methods to find what works best. We totally understand that tea is uniquely personal, and this one just didn't land for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team if you'd like suggestions for other profiles that might be more up your alley or if there's anything else we can help with.

    Luscious

    My wife and I love this tea. Rich and delicious, especially as a full bodied morning tea with cream. Twice we’ve bought it in the 1/4 pound bag but next time we’re doing the 1 pound. If you like a rich black morning tea then try this one.

    My Favorite Black Tea- Rishi Wild Thai Black

    My search in finding my perfect morning tea stopped with my first sip of Rishi's Wild Thai Black. This has become my favorite tea after trying so many other teas locally, during travels and across the internet. I love starting my day with a cup or two and know when i am running low there is no need to panic because Rishi's is great at shipping out orders quickly and has earned my trust over the years with their consistent quality teas.
