Araksa Tea Garden Tour
Nestled in the lush hills of Mae Tang, Chiang Mai, Araksa Tea Garden is home to one of Thailand’s oldest Assam tea plantations. First planted in 1941 and left untouched for over 15 years, our tea plants—now over 40 to 70 years old—have flourished naturally without chemical pesticides or fertilizers, yielding some of the finest organic tea in the country.
“Araksa,” meaning “Preserve” in Sanskrit, reflects our deep commitment to sustainability, environmental care, and cultural heritage. Every leaf we produce is rooted in responsible practices and respect for the land we call home.
