"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

Araksa Tea Garden is located on a scenic, evergreen hill in the Mae Tang District in Chiangmai, Thailand. We are a boutique garden that specializes in producing high quality Assam tea.
​
The site is one of the oldest tea gardens in Thailand. Left undisturbed for over 15 years, the tea plants have not been exposed to chemical pesticides or fertilizers for over a decade. Today we are producing excellent organic 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 planting approximately 50 acres of Assam tea plants. The garden was then sold and left untouched for over 15 years until its new ownership in 2014. Renamed 'Araksa', the garden is now thriving again.
