"People in the Shan States of Burma and Siam had been using the leaves of the tea plant - at first for medicinal purposes, then as a beverage - for as long as the Chinese" - K.C. Willson and M.N. Clifford

About Us

The Araksa Tea Garden, located on a scenic, evergreen hill in the Mae Tang District in Chiang Mai, specializes in producing high quality Assam tea, an indigenous tea plant in this area.
The site is one of the oldest tea gardens in Thailand. Undisturbed for many years, the tea plants have not been exposed to chemical pesticides or fertilizers for over a decade. Thus, today, we are producing excellent tea leaves.

Our History

The tea garden covers 111 acres and consists of tea plants that range from 40 to 70 years old. In 1939, the Raming Company, founded the garden and established one of the first tea factories in Thailand. In 1941, the tea garden began growing approximately 50 acres of Assam tea plants. The garden was then sold and left untouched for over 20 years until its new ownership in 2014. Renamed 'Araksa,' the garden is now beginning to thrive again.
