See the New RecipeWhat Tapee Tea is
A traditional Thai recipe built around Jewel Vine (Derris scandens): fifteen herbs, roots, spices and dried botanicals, ground to a fine, soluble powder that you stir straight into hot water.
The cup is a deep red-amber, woody and earthy, with a fresh herbaceous lift and a warm spice finish.
Sold as a herbal tea beverage. We describe it only by its taste, aroma, ingredients and origin.

Before you order
Is it loose tea or teabags?
Teabags. The 15 botanicals are finely ground into a soluble powder and sealed in individual golden teabags — one teabag makes one cup. You open it, empty the powder into hot water and stir, with no strainer or measuring needed.
Does it contain caffeine?
No. It is a blend of herbs, spices and flowers rather than leaf tea, so it is naturally caffeine-free.
Which pack should I start with?
Our pick is the 100-teabag pack: $99.90, or $1.00 a cup. A cup costs $1.12 on the 25-teabag pack and $0.76 on the 250. The 25- and 50-teabag packs add $19.90 and $14.90 shipping.
How much is shipping?
Tracked shipping is free on orders of US$45.00 or more (conditions apply by destination), and on every 15-herb pack from 75 teabags upwards; the 25- and 50-teabag packs carry a per-pack tracked shipping charge of US$19.90 and US$14.90. EU orders ship tracked; where EU import charges apply, they are collected on delivery for the time being. To Australia and New Zealand we ship only our New Recipe 15-herb tea; the original blend is not available there at the moment.
How long will my order take?
Orders are packed and dispatched from Thailand within 1–3 business days, and delivery typically takes 6–14 business days after dispatch. Customs processing can add time.
Can I cancel or return my order?
You can cancel within 30 days of delivery for any reason under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, provided the pack is unopened with seals intact — opened food cannot be returned for hygiene reasons. You pay the return postage for a change of mind.
