Organic Bangkok
Harney & Sons
Rating: 13/20

More evocative of a day at the beach than a hot night in Thailand, Harney & Sons Organic Bangkok iced green tea brews to a light, pale green shade that nevertheless packs a powerful punch. The beverage’s strong aroma, which the makers describe as reminiscent of Thai cooking, begins working immediately on the senses even before tea meets tongue; the potent coconut scent and taste, enhanced by vanilla accents, may be overpowering to some. However, a touch of ginger tempers the coconut flavor, creating a tea that’s far from bitter, one that slides down the throat more and more smoothly with every sip. An unusual twist on green tea with a memorable, exotic flare, a pitcher of Organic Bangkok would make a soothing finish to a spicy meal on a hot day. A box of six large pouches, each of which brews two quarts of tea, costs $8.
