Bael fruit (matoom) is a Thai classic — the fruit is sliced and sun-dried until the pieces turn amber and firm, then simmered or steeped into a golden, naturally sweet drink sold from stalls and served in homes across the country.
Taste & aroma
Warm, sweet and gently caramel-like, with a soft woody depth and a honeyed aroma. It is one of the most naturally sweet teas in the range, with no sugar added.
How to serve
Steep 5–8 minutes, or simmer the slices for a few minutes for a deeper, darker cup — the traditional method. Delicious hot, and very good iced, which is how it is most often drunk in Thailand.
Naturally caffeine-free, so it can be enjoyed at any hour. Store in a sealed container, away from heat and direct sunlight.
