The Source of Culture, the Beginning of Taste
Samai's soul originates from Sukhothai, Thailand's first capital. This 13th-century ancient capital is the cradle of Thai culture, renowned for its magnificent temple art and the creation of the Thai alphabet. As the birthplace of the "Dawn of Happiness" dynasty, Sukhothai boasts a rich history as a World Heritage Site and has nurtured an agricultural tradition that follows the rhythms of nature, allowing the land to yield fruits with unique flavors.

"We don't create flavors, we are simply translators of nature." Samai freeze-dried fruit: connecting farmers with the world. More than just snacks, it's a force for change in our hometowns.

Freeze-Dried Longan, also known as Freeze-Dried Dragon’s Eye, is a premium fruit snack made from the translucent, juicy flesh of the longan (Dimocarpus longan), a tropical fruit closely related to the lychee and native to southern China and Southeast Asia. Fresh longan is prized for its delicate sweetness, subtle musky-floral aroma, and soft, almost crystalline texture. Through advanced vacuum freeze-drying, the fruit is rapidly frozen and then dehydrated under low temperature and vacuum, allowing ice to sublimate directly into vapor. This gentle process removes moisture while preserving the fruit’s natural color, shape, aroma, and a high proportion of its nutrients—including vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, and antioxidants—far better than traditional hot-air drying.
The result is a light, crispy, airy snack with an intensified pure longan flavor and a satisfying melt-in-the-mouth crunch. Quality products are typically 100% longan with no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients. Compared with conventional dried longan (桂圓), freeze-dried versions retain a brighter color, fresher taste, and superior texture while offering excellent shelf stability and portability.
Enjoy it straight from the pack as a healthy snack, as a topping for yogurt, cereal, or ice cream, in trail mixes, baked goods, smoothies, or traditional Chinese desserts and herbal teas. It delivers concentrated natural energy and the classic nourishing qualities long valued in Chinese food culture—conveniently available year-round.
We utilize advanced freeze-drying technology to deliver the natural flavors of Thai orchards and farms to destinations worldwide. Our freeze-dried fruits retain their natural flavor, nutrients, and crisp texture, satisfying your taste buds anytime, anywhere.

The Overlooked Harvest
However, even this bountiful land faces challenges. Due to a lack of international trade channels, local farmers often find themselves forced to sell their high-quality fruits at low prices, or even destroy them, during peak harvest seasons due to unsold produce. Samai's founder, Joyce, is the daughter of a resilient woman from Sukhothai who witnessed firsthand the waste and vowed, "To let the world taste the flavors of Sukhothai."
A Year Rooted in the Land
Carrying her mother's hopes, Joyce returned to Sukhothai, immersing herself in the fields and working alongside farmers. She learned to identify the optimal ripeness of each fruit, recorded the harvest season for longan, and personally researched food export regulations in various countries, building a cross-border supply chain from scratch. This experience profoundly taught her that true deliciousness comes from the most sincere respect for nature.
The Birth of Samai: The Art of Freezing Freshness
Thus, the "Samai Freeze-Dried Fruit Series" was born. The brand name is derived from the Thai word for "era," symbolizing bringing the spirit of traditional farming into the modern era. Joyce personally visits each partner orchard, using only fruit ripened that day, and freeze-drying it at -40°C to lock in its original sweetness. Except for strawberries, which are slightly sweetened due to their natural acidity, all products are free of preservatives and artificial colors, ensuring every bite is the authentic taste of Thai sunshine.
From Farmland to the World: A Beneficial Cycle
Today, Samai is more than just a snack brand; it's the pride of Sukhothai farmers. Every bag of freeze-dried fruit represents the reward of fair trade, efforts to reduce waste, and the gentle power to connect the world. Joyce and her mother's dream is coming true—to make healthy, pure flavors a force for change in their hometown.
