No one really knows for sure, but my favorite story about why Thai tea is orange is that tea drinking was introduced to Thailand sometime during 1804-1854 when British and other foreigners living in Thailand brought their own tea with them. Thai milk tea is orange from orange food coloring that is added to the tea leaves.īut why did Thais start adding orange food coloring to Thai tea? No one is quite sure when Thai Milk Tea, ( Cha Yen, which in Thai means cold tea) started up, but some think it was a lingering influence from Pibul Songkram, a Thai leader who loved western culture, like adding milk to tea, which was a new concept since Thais normally don’t have much dairy in their diet.
