Oliang
โอเลี้ยง
Mild
Oliang is Thai iced black coffee — brewed from a blend of coffee, corn, and soybeans, served over ice with sweetened condensed milk, creating Thailand's version of the classic strong iced coffee.
Cultural Origin
Oliang is a Thai-Chinese iced black coffee originating in Bangkok's old Chinatown, brewed from a blend of coffee with corn, soybean, sesame, and other roasted grains, then sweetened with sugar. The name comes from Teochew 'o-liang' (black-cold), and it remains a fixture at old-school coffee shops and street stalls.
