The red tea reference links to a disambiguation page. Someone who is familiar with the subject should clarify which type it is.

"Red tea" is a commonly-used Asian term for what is known as "black tea" in the West (contrast with green tea). It is NOT rooibos, also known as "red tea", and really not a tea at all. This confused me as well, so I cleared it up in the article. --JD79 22:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lime?

Is Lime Thai tea flavored with actual lime fruit, or with Kaffir lime leaves? - the article is unclear. -- 18:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

The red tea referenced in the article is not just black tea. There is a distinctive taste to this tea, even when it is made without the sweet cream. I suspect it is an oolong, but don't really know. It is commonly known as "thai tea", as distinguished from "thai iced tea". Thai iced tea is thai tea, brewed, and served with sweet cream, over ice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbeckwith (talk • contribs) 22:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I'm a little confused about exactly what kind of tea it is made with. Some type of black tea, I think, but it tastes smoky - why? Is it smoked like Lapsang Souchong? Surely someone knows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.18.56.104 (talk) 18:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
