Buying Tips

  • Background: Doi Tung sits in the Golden Triangle where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet; from the 1980s, a development project founded by the Princess Mother promoted coffee and forestry here to replace opium and restore the forest
  • Shade-grown: Coffee is mostly grown under the canopy of the restored forest

Brewing Notes

  • Batch brewer: Medium grind, ratio 1:16
  • Latte: Medium to medium-dark roasts with milk bring out nut and cocoa notes
