Like stepping into a carefully curated fairytale landscape, Jaroon’s coffee grows in exceptionally well-managed garden-like plots surrounded by dense green jungle-clad peaks. Jaroon’s attention to detail is evident from the way he manages his coffee farm through to the meticulous care given during processing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main variety he cultivates is Chiang Mai 80; a local hybrid developed by the late King that combines Catimor and SL-28 for both disease resistance and good cup quality. We also spotted some Bourbon and Typica trees here and there. Before coffee was introduced to the area 40 years ago, Khun Lao had a history of tea production that dates back centuries. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThailand is one of the only countries in the world where you have a strong consumer market for specialty coffee just hours away from coffee-growing regions. This proximity provides a unique opportunity for roasters and growers to collaborate closely on processing. This lot is a perfect example of the magic these collaborations can produce! Jaroon works alongside our partner co-op Beanspire, as well as some of Thailand's best roasters, to get exceptional results from his farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHoney-processed coffees are given their name due to the colour (white, yellow, red, or black) and the amount of sticky fruit mucilage intentionally left on the outside of the parchment during drying. This gives the coffee certain flavour attributes such as increased body or complexity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this Red honey lot, the whole cherries were fermented in closed HDPE bags and submerged underwater at low temperatures for 3 days. Then the coffee cherries were pulped without water (leaving some fruit mucilage on the bean parchment), and then dried on raised beds inside a greenhouse with the assistance of a dehumidifier. Thailand usually suffers from high relative humidity and rain during the harvest season, so this is an innovation that they have applied to assist with the drying - and the results are amazing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Quarter Coffee Merchants","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":47258373783721,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Espresso - Home Machine","offer_id":47258373816489,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Espresso - Commercial Machine","offer_id":47258373849257,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":47258373882025,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Pour Over","offer_id":47258373914793,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Plunger","offer_id":47258373947561,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":47258373980329,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":47258374013097,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":47258374045865,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":47258374078633,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Espresso - Home Machine","offer_id":47258374111401,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Espresso - Commercial Machine","offer_id":47258374144169,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":47258374176937,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Pour Over","offer_id":47258374209705,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Plunger","offer_id":47258374242473,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":47258374275241,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":47258374308009,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":47258374340777,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":47258374373545,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso - Home Machine","offer_id":47258374406313,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso - Commercial Machine","offer_id":47258374439081,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ AeroPress","offer_id":47258374471849,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Pour Over","offer_id":47258374504617,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Plunger","offer_id":47258374537385,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Stovetop","offer_id":47258374570153,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":47258374602921,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":47258374635689,"sku":"ESPRESSO_THAILAND_DPK","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1695\/2369\/files\/ThailandKhunLao.png?v=1783891365","url":"https:\/\/oldquartercoffee.com.au\/products\/thailand-khun-lao-red-honey","provider":"Old Quarter Coffee Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
