Tea Cultivation Since the First Myanmar Empire

The plantations that produce our delicious, organic teas are based in the Northern Shan State near Kyaukme and Namhsan townships in Myanmar. The farmers, primarily from the Shan and Ta-ang ethnicities, have been harvesting fresh tea leaves in this region since the first Myanmar empire. The tea farms sit at an altitude of 1,300 metres above sea level and cover a total area of 10,105 hectares across four locations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These plantations are surrounded by a stunning mountain range where clouds gracefully weave through the peaks. The pleasant weather conditions and unique landscape create a perfect environment for tea cultivation. Each farm boasts an average production of 300 to 500 viss (489-815kg) per acre. What sets our Myanmar tea plantations apart from other plantations across the globe is that we use traditional methods of placing unique spacing between each tea tree.

The tea flowering and harvesting season stretches from mid-March to late November, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh tea leaves for our premium products. Enjoy the remarkable taste of Myanmar tea, crafted with care and expertise on our idyllic plantations.
