ORIGINAL POSTER

Staying for a few months, primarily Kanchanaburi province.

Where to purchase English style tea and teabags?

India/Ceylon origin or blends of the same, usually.

Not fond of the Liptons variety, to be honest (too weak) but haven’t seen even those apart from in almost every cafe/restaurant.

No joy at 7/11, Lotus or TMK.

Got the last pack (discontinued line) at Big-C Kanchanaburi.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Related, I've seen many things (like pgtips) and then they're gone! Maybe they'll be back, hard to say? So my suggestion would be if you do locate anything you want to make sure you have....buy surplus inventory. Teabags will keep a long time, so stock up.

The interesting part is when you eventually realize something you assumed would be available to later discover it is not....been there, done that! 🤣

They have Australian afternoon tea which is very bold and strong version of English breakfast 105 baht at Rimping Hang Dong in Chiang Mai. The rimping close to you probably carries the same stock.

If the cafes and coffee shops have what you want just ask them where they buy the tea. Large wholesalers like Makro.
