Doi Chaang rests on a mountainous hillside that is uniquely enriched to produce the very best coffee beans. The plantation is surrounded by lush old growth forest and fresh flowing spring water in the Golden Triangle Mountains of Thailand.
This Doi Chaang single-estate coffee consists entirely of Peaberries, a kind of bean that results when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different (often better) cup than normal beans from the same crop, Cultivating coffee under a canopy of various shade trees enhances the micro-climate of the area. A balanced ecosystem is created which mirrors a natural forest setting and ensures quality coffee bean production.
This Doi Chaang Peaberry is a rare single-estate, certified organic, shade grown, hand-picked, fresh water washed and sun-dried speciality coffee and one in which we are particularly pleased to offer.
A massive passion project spearheaded by the work and vision of John M. Darch, a man with limitless drive to convert a down-on-its-luck village in Northern Thailand from oppressive opium farming to the farming and processing of coffee in the highest order.
Doi Chaang
has had so much success with its organic coffee sales (its Organic Arabica
beans rank around 90 on Coffee Reviews, putting it in the top 1% of coffees in
the world)
