A BIT ABOUT THIS COFFEE

This coffee is grown by smallholder ethnic minority farmers across a hand-full of villages. Each family has approximately 1-3 acres and interplants their coffee gardens with shade trees and other food crops. They produce their coffee using organic techniques and the flavour is very unique to Myanmar.

THE STORY

Small rural villages with big potential! We began buying coffee from these guys in 2018. It was our third origin and buying relationship. Their growers belong to the Pa’O ethnic minority group. They have have been mentored in agronomy from Winrock International (NGO) and have ongoing support from local agriculture and coffee Q grader experts. These farmers are doing a spectacular job and we're so stoked to share their unique coffee.

In Myanmar, though coffee has been grown on a small scale for a long time, cultivation generally commenced in the 1980s with the government’s opium eradication program. The coffee quality from Myanmar is improving every year. In a part of the world that often faces political and social challenges, we are grateful to be able to buy their coffee and share it with you.
