We always try to supply high quality products to consumers and our customers. 

 

All our herbal tea products are pure herbs and organically grown.  All of them are organic Thailand certified; many of them already received USDA organic and Canada organic certification while the rest is in the transition.  You will always find at least one kind of tea which is good for you and tastes great. 

             

 

Our powder line is basically pure ground herb.  It provides more versatile usage of the herbs than the tea form does.  You can now mix these powdered herbs in your dough, icing, ice-cream, soup, drink, dressing, and even use them for food colouring.  The use of our powder is only limited by your imagination. 

 

We are excited to share with our customers that we have added a few new products in our gluten-free line.  Now you will have choices of organic black-rice vermicelli noodle and organic brown-rice Pad Thai noodles.  We also increase the quantity in organic red rice vermicelli noodle, so you will see a bigger package on store shelves. 

 

We offer Thai food ingredients that are simple, but are required in many Thai dishes. 

    

Galanga or galangal is a rhizome of plants in the ginger family. The rhizome gives pungent flavour. It is used in Thai cooking and is full of medicinal properties.

Galanga reduces the Intestinal motility, and the compounds which possesses such property are cineole, camphor and eugenol. It has essential oil that is a carminative. The eugenol also helps release bile and assists in digestion. The 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate, 1'-acetoxyeugenol acetate and eugenol in galanga help relieve inflammation and suppress stomach ulcer.

These compounds in galanga are also anti-bacterial (Escherichia coli) and anti-fungal (Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophyte, etc), as well as the yeast-like Candida albicans. Studies have showed that it helps treat fungus related skin disease like chloasma or tinea. Galanga extract has a very strong inhibitory effect against S. aureus. It has radical scavenger and lipozygenase inhibitor properties.

In addition, tea from powdered galanga root significantly lowers the blood glucose. The hypoglycaemic effect of galanga is comparable to gliclazide (an oral hypoglycaemic drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes). Research has showed that hot water-soluble polysaccharide extract of galanga has an immunostimulating effect which markedly enhanced the proliferation of spleen cells.

 

Butterfly pea flower tea has indigo colour. It is used as food colour and medicine. Juice squeezed from the flower can be used for conditioning and thickening hair, eyebrows, and beard. As a result, it is an ingredient in some shampoo and hair condition.

 

The indigo colour is rich in anthocyanins and a wide range of other secondary metabolites including triterpenoids, flavonol glycosides and steroids.

 

This plant has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as a memory enhancer, nootropic, antistress, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, tranquilizing and sedative agent. Traditional Thai medicine also uses the plant for boosting the immune system and improving eyesight (increase blood circulation in small blood vessels) of patients with diabetes, glaucoma, cataract, etc.

 

The scientific studies has reconfirmed those with modern relevance. Its pharmacological activities includes antimicrobial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, diuretic, local anesthetic, antidiabetic, insecticidal, blood platelet aggregation-inhibiting and for use as a vascular smooth muscle relaxing properties.
