When Emshika Alberini's grandmother would make her Thai tea, it was never the bright shade of orange most Americans are used to seeing. While you can find that sort of drink in Thailand, it's actually known as a Thai tea latte, and it only exists because of Western influence on the country's street-food scene. Alberini believes there's a much better way for people to enjoy Thai tea stateside, which why she started Emshika's — her own brand of canned Thai teas and coffees.
Keeping with the simplicity of traditional Thai tea and her family's recipes, Emshika's beverages are made with sustainably sourced tea leaves and 100-percent natural ingredients, and they're also nitro infused and dairy free. Emshika's Oat Milk Iced Tea Latte ($27 for a 6-pack) is like the Thai tea you're already familiar with, but better. It's dairy free and sugar free, getting its creaminess from oat milk and its sweetness from monk fruit.
