Their tea journey started\u00a0 2 years ago. On one of their many trips to Thailand we met great and good-hearted people. Among them farmers who just want to have a normal, happy, simple life, but cannot market their beautiful and healthy products,\u00a0 because of a gap in knowledge, network, support and market access. They market \u2018Fresh Blue\u2019, a lemongrass tea with a hint of ginger and handpicked blue pea flowers, which makes this tea a great refreshment. \u2018Calm Green\u2019, a loose kaffir lime tea that has a slightly bitter taste. To achieve the right balance you taste the soft flavors of pandan leaves en the freshness of lemongrass. \u2018Mellow Yellow\u2019, loose ginger tea with a Thai twist of fresh lemongrass and the soft flavor of pandan leaves. \u2018Soft Sour Flower\u2019, loose hibiscus tea with a soft sourness to it because of the added blue pea flower and lemongrass.<\/p>\n<p><em>Colored teas, they\u2019re trendy!

Penpak grew up among farmers and helped her father in his trading business (mainly agricultural products) from a young age. So Pen knows the culture, knows her herbs, knows the needs of Thai farmers and the hidden potential that many of them have, but simply are unaware of; growing healthy herbs. Connecting the dots they developed the idea and the concept of building an authentic Thai herbal tea brand; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tamnantea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tamnan Thai Herbs &amp; Tea<\/a> was born. Tamnan means \u2018 legend\u2019 in Thai language and is purely and 100% based on herbs planted, nutured, grown and harvested by small scale Thai farmers, to help them earn an extra living by getting access to different markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamnan Tea was founded by Penpak Boonla, an entrepreneur from Rotterdam and Stephan van IJperen.
