If you end up using tea leaves from china then u might not end up with that rich colour.
The chef from a popular Thai restaurant chain with outlets all over SEA says that there is no such thing as Thai black tea. They actually import the tea leaves from Sri Lanka and then process it in LOS to give it the "Thai" flavour. And he admitted not healthy to drink too much as many chemicals are added in the process.
