Tea in Cambodia includes green tea, jasmine tea, herbal infusions, iced tea, and ready-to-drink bottled options, shaped by regional influences and everyday consumption habits. In Phnom Penh and other urban centers, tea is widely available through restaurants, cafés, street vendors, and supermarkets, where it is often served alongside meals or consumed as a refreshing beverage in hot climates. In rural areas, tea is commonly prepared at home or consumed through informal settings, often in simple brewed forms. The tea market is influenced by neighboring countries, tourism, and the prevalence of iced and sweetened beverages, which expand tea’s role beyond traditional preparation. Compared with coffee and soft drinks, tea occupies a mainstream position as both a daily beverage and a complement to food. Visibility is reinforced through restaurant culture and widespread retail availability. As a result, tea in Cambodia reflects a practical and accessible beverage market shaped by climate, regional influence, and everyday use.
