Thailand's unique tropical climate, characterized by high humidity and temperature, presents significant challenges for the preservation of delicate botanicals like fruit flower tea. Traditional drying methods often lead to oxidation and loss of volatile oils, compromising the medicinal value of the herbal slices.
The Thai market has seen a surge in demand for standardized chrysanthemum tea, moving away from raw agricultural products toward pharmaceutical-grade processed pieces. This shift is driven by the growing health consciousness among urban populations in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
Currently, the industry faces a gap in high-precision cutting and low-temperature drying technologies. Implementing professional pharmaceutical-grade processing ensures that the active ingredients in mum tea remain stable during long-distance transit and local storage in humid conditions.
