Pandan Tea: Aroma, Flavor, and Culinary Roots
Pandan (often called the "vanilla of Southeast Asia") brings a soft, grassy sweetness with hints of coconut and vanilla. In Thai kitchens its leaves flavor desserts, rice, and drinks, and as a tea it makes a fragrant, naturally pale-green infusion. Served warm or over ice, pandan tea is a comforting, everyday cup with deep culinary roots. For another aromatic ritual to try, explore our guide to Thai botanical tea blends and their flavors.
