Pandan leaf tea is one of the herbal teas the Food Forest Kitchen serves for free to our guests. A fresh, healthy tea which can be served hot or cold. In Thailand it is called Nahm Bay Teuy. We get the pandan leaves for the tea from our own gardens of course. You can find the pandan leaves growing near the restaurant of Eco-Logic and near the school of the Thai Child Development Foundation. More information about the pandan plant can be found here.
