Bael Fruit Tea | Caffeine-Free Thai Botanical Infusion

Pour yourself a cup of warm amber comfort. Bael fruit tea, known in Thailand as matoom (Aegle marmelos, also called stone apple, wood apple, golden apple or Bengal quince), is a caffeine-free fruit tisane made from sun-dried bael fruit slices. Because it contains no Camellia sinensis tea leaf, it brews into a naturally sweet, woody, caramel-like amber cup without a trace of caffeine.

Crafted around one honest ingredient and nothing else, our bael fruit tea is fully transparent: 100% dried bael fruit (matoom) slices, sourced in Thailand, with no added sweeteners, flavourings or fillers. It is sold by THAITEAS LTD, registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16870792), with free tracked worldwide shipping and 30-day returns on unopened retail orders.

Why Choose Bael Fruit Tea

• Naturally sweet, woody, caramel-like flavour — a mellow, honeyed character that needs little or no added sweetener.
• Loose slices or tea bags — pick the 50g loose dried matoom slices for a slow brew, or tea bags for everyday convenience.

Taste and Experience

Pour just-off-the-boil water over the dried bael slices and the cup slowly deepens to a clear, warm amber-caramel colour. The aroma is gently toasty and honeyed, with a woody, fruity warmth. On the palate, bael fruit tea is naturally sweet and full-bodied, with a smooth, mellow, caramel-like depth and a soft woody finish. A longer steep draws out deeper woody sweetness, while a shorter one keeps it light and amber-bright. Served hot it is comforting and aromatic; brewed at double strength and poured over ice it turns crisp and refreshingly fruity, an easy-drinking amber glass for warm afternoons.

How to Brew Bael Fruit Tea

1. Measure: for loose dried slices, use roughly 1-2 slices (about 5-10g) per 250-300ml of water; for tea bags, use one bag per 250ml cup.
2. Steep: heat water to 90-100°C (just off the boil) and steep or gently simmer loose slices for 5-10 minutes, or tea bags for 5-8 minutes, until the cup turns a warm amber-caramel colour. A longer steep deepens the woody sweetness.
3. Serve: enjoy hot as it is — it is naturally sweet, so little or no added sweetener is needed — or brew at double strength and pour over ice for a chilled amber infusion.

Choosing Your Size

Bael fruit tea comes in two formats and a wide range of sizes, with prices from $22.90 up to $378.00. Choose the 50g loose pack of dried matoom slices if you like brewing in a pot or strainer and adjusting strength yourself, or pick pre-filled tea bags in 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 250 or 500 counts for the convenience of one bag per cup. Smaller counts are ideal for a first try, while the larger 250 and 500-bag boxes lower your effective cost per cup, so if bael fruit tea becomes a regular pour, a bigger pack is the better value. Select your preferred size and format above and add it to your cart to get started.
