The best Thai coffee currently in our catalog
Thai coffee has moved well beyond its reputation for simple, dark roasts. Our current selection of ten lots highlights the technical precision now coming out of the northern highlands. Chiang Rai dominates this list, providing the foundation for a diverse range of processing styles. We are seeing a significant shift toward experimental anaerobic natural methods alongside traditional washed and red honey lots. The variety profile is equally broad, featuring Catuai and Typica as the primary workhorses, though we have unique lots like the Doitung Geisha. Roasters such as Has Bean Coffee and Brave Roasters are leading the charge here, focusing on clarity and regional character. Whether you want a clean, Kenya-style washed cup or a funky anaerobic honey, these selections represent the current peak of Thai production.
What to taste for:Look for a balance of bright, stone-fruit acidity and a heavy, syrupy body that distinguishes these northern Thai lots.
