Single Origin Highlight

Doi Saket is the oldest coffee growing area in Thailand, located in Chiang Mai province. Back in the late 1970’s, the rst trees that were part of the opium replacement program of the Thai King were tested here, and have never been replaced by higher-yield cultivars like in many other regions. As a result, heirloom varietals, particularly Typica, are still commonplace in many old farms. The coffee trees are 30-40 years old, older than the farmers! We want to demonstrate to the farmers that there are people who appreciate and are willing to pay more for the heirloom cultivar to compensate for the lower yield. Typica is now rare. This is an experimental lot from Doi Saket in Chiang Mai. A young couple quit their white collar jobs to come back to their parents coffee farm only 5 years ago. Nui is 34 and is an engineer by training, while Aoy is 32 and is an accountant by training. In this lot. This is different from the fully washed process where the coffee is washed and soaked in water before drying. But the Double Anaerobic Honey process means that we dried the coffee with the mucilage intact without washing or soaking the coffee. After it is dried to the right moisture content, it is delivered to the dry mill for hulling and sorting.
