02, June 2016: Craving for that refreshing taste of Thailand? Wait no more! 1st in Manila now opens its doors by well guarded family recipe of Auntie Marlee’s Khun Thai tea! Looking forward to start with a bang on June 2016 in the warm and bustling Mall of Asia is this 50 year family run establishment.

Starting from the humble abode of a pushcart in Sukhumvit, Bangkok in 1960’s Auntie Marlee’s authentic recipe of cha yen or freshly brewed Thai Iced Tea has come a long way to becoming one of Asia’s authentic outlets for traditional Thai ice tea. It is with this sincere and dedicated vision to create an authentic Thai Cha-Yen better suited to the local tastes, this iced tea rose to its popularity.

Thai iced tea or Cha-Yen is a popular thai drink originally made from strongly brewed Ceylon tea. The high prices of the Ceylon tea made it inaccessible to the general public, hence the Ceylon tea was soon replaced by a locally grown variety of assam tea known as Bai Miang. In order to maintain the wonderful exuberant experience that luxurious tea offered, spices were soon infused into the freshly brewed black tea to add to the taste and to maintain the revitalizing quality of the original traditional recipe. Soon different variations of this refreshing drink began to appear all over Asia.

At this cafe, it is all about understanding the tastes of the true tradition and suiting it to the modern world. Traditional Cha-Yen consisted of copious amounts of sugar, condensed milk and evaporated milk. It often made the drink rather heavy taking away the light, fresh and refreshing feeling of the drinking iced tea. In order to cater to the global tastes of today’s consumer a middle path was found. With Auntie Marlee’s secret family recipe a newer, fresher and healthier alternative was born without compromising the authentic traditional taste of Thai Iced tea.

Armed with a wide array of flavors suited for today such a “Berry Ice Tea”, “Yuan Yang - a unique blend of coffee and tea” and many innovative and succulent flavors this unique cafe is set to please one and all.
