Tea Origin
Fang
This is the first area we started to work with back in 2012 and it acts as our main production site of Forest Friendly Tea. Together with the local Lahu community we have managed to make sure that forested areas stay protected while people earn more money from the tea picked and produced. Our story in the area starts with Monsoon Tea founder Kenneth meeting our good friend John whose family has a rich history and shares a deep connection with the mountain known as Doi Pu Muen. In the beginning we worked together to pick the tea in the mountain and transport it to the closest city where John had a tea factory, focusing mostly on making black tea, but in 2024 we moved the machinery up the mountain and now instead produce all tea as close to the source as physically possible.
