About Tapee Tea
Tapee Tea (also known as Tepee Tea or Thephi Herbal Drink) is an ancient Thai natural pain relieving tea, composed of a variety of native herbs. It has been administered in Thailand and much of Asia for centuries as a method for relieving aches and pains, its especially popular with women that suffer from period cramps and pains.
Much like many things in Thailand, the recipe for Tapee Tea tends to change slightly from person to person or town to town, though it follows some staples. There is only one producer that has Thai FDA approval and registration for a commercialised Tapee Tea product.
In order to achieve approval from the Thai FDA a product and producer needs to undergo a rigorous testing and monitoring process which includes testing the ingredients for the presence of adulterants or unlisted ingredients and the efficacy of the final product in the recommended dosage amount. Only if the product passes all tests will it receive approval. In a country where traditional medicine has trumped the synthetic alternatives for centuries, the FDA play a very important role that is taken seriously.
Thai FDA registration and approval is important because, as was reported by the US FDA in Sept 2023, many products including some brands of Tapee Tea that were selling outside of Thailand have been found to contain synthetic adulterants, including steroids, that could potentially be dangerous.
Where to buy safe, Thai FDA approved Tapee Tea?
As mentioned previously there is only one manufacturer in Thailand and therefore the world, that produces Tapee Tea with approval from the Thai FDA. The Coconut Island Company is the exclusive reseller of this product overseas and is the only place to purchase safe, Thai FDA approved and tested Tapee Tea.
The Tapee Tea we carry has been tested for adulterants by the Thai Department of Medical Sciences and also using at-home steroid test kits by ourselves. The Coconut Island Company also stocks this at-home steroid test kit from the Government Pharmaceutical Organization of Thailand designed specifically for testing for steroids in traditional medicines.
Our Tapee Tea contains 15 different natural herbs only. It is proven to be 100% natural. Don’t run the risk of purchasing Tapee Tea from unknown sites and sellers, it isn’t worth the potential danger.
