Chiang Rai, Thailand - The community in the Northern Thailand.
This is one of our local community that we sourced ingredients from. Baan Huai Hin Lad Nai is a small village located in the middle of jungle. It consists of 100 people approximately. People in this village are farmers who working together foe tea, honey, chili, coffee beans and so on.
The uniqueness of the farm in this community is that they are unlike the other tea farm that we see in commercial. Tea tree are location along mountains and were not cut to make it look organized. Even weed are taken off only once a year. Thus, you can make sure that our products are free from chemicals.
After harvesting, the next process is also made in the village. There is a small tea roaster factory. The tea leaves will be roasted using coal flaming fire. After tea leafs dried, they will crush using tea grinder and dry them again with sun.
On the other hand, they smoke chili in their own kitchen which would take up to 4 days to get chili that we wanted. This will make the chili' taste hotter and last longer.
All of these ingredients take a lot of times and passion of local farmers. Apart from that there are nature factors that make these ingredients more unique. Some of ingredients, like honey, are only available for harvesting only once a year. The end of April to the end of May. The community will go to the forest to find honey.
Apart from supporting the local community, EZ Thai is also happy to share our quality and tasty products to you all : )
