Roast Level: Medium (Espresso)

Tasting Notes: Pina Colada, Papaya, Marshmallow
All of the villagers at Doi Pangkhon belong to Akha Hill tribe and they are very young for coffee farmers, 25-35 years old, mostly. The elevation at Doi Pangkhon is from 1250-1500 metres above sea level. Coffee cannot grow in Thailand above 1550m.
The varieties here are a mixture of Typica, Catuai, and Chiang Mai (with many unknowns as well). Chiang Mai is a local hybrid that is a cross between SL28 x Caturra x Hibrido de Timor. It's a rust resistant cultivar that's been developed by our late King as part of his effort to eradicate opium plantation by the hill tribe in the North.
