Thailand originally collected tea leaves to make tea leaf-wrapped appetizer. However, Thai people start-ed to make their own tea and developed as Thai tea. “Mr.Ting” the shop manager at that time was the first group of pioneers who opened up the tea factory on Wawee hill at Mae Suai district, Chiang Rai province. The factory name was "Cha Hom Factory" or Aromatic Tea Factory in which the tea machiner-ies had to use elephants to drag up to the Wawee hill.
