Buying Tips

  • Region: Ywangan sits on Myanmar's Shan plateau; Danu smallholders once grew mainly tea and other crops, and from the 2010s international development programs helped improve picking and processing, opening the door to specialty markets
  • Natural process: Sunny highland dry seasons suit slow drying on raised beds — the region's signature process
  • Emerging origin: Myanmar is one of Asia's fastest-growing specialty coffee origins

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, 90°C, ratio 1:15
  • Iced: Strawberry and chocolate sweetness feels even fuller when chilled
