Araksa is the first tea garden in Thailand to be certified both USDA and EU Organic for Farm & Factory. The site — situated on the foothills of the rich forest of Banchang, Mae Tang district of Chiang Mai, Thailand — is one of the oldest tea gardens in Thailand. Left undisturbed, the tea plants have not been exposed to chemical pesticides or fertilizers for over a decade. Today, Araksa is producing excellent organic tea leaves.
