More About Doi Chaang Coffee

Doi Chaang Coffee Cherries

From DoiChaangCoffee.com:

Our story of Doi Chaang Coffee is set in a small village located within the Northern Thailand region of the Golden Triangle. It all began a few years ago when the hill tribe families of the Doi Chaang Village uniting together to create their own coffee company. After 20 years of cultivating and processing coffee, the farmers grew frustrated selling their high quality beans for minimal prices to coffee dealers who would blend them with other inferior coffee beans. Through their own initiative, our families decide it was time to directly offer the unique taste of their own premium, single-origin, organic Arabica coffee.

The villagers soon establish themselves as independent successful coffee producers building their own processing plants, drying facilities and storage warehouses. The coffee is cultivated in small family gardens with everyone committed to maintaining sustainable agriculture and having minimal impact on the natural habitat. All aspects of production are carefully monitored to ensure consistent and optimal taste in every cup of Doi Chaang coffee.

    I spent some time in the mountains of Malawi in 2008 and ventured to the coffee plantations there. The Doi Chaang sound a lot like the Chichewa people there within the coffee growing communities. And they sure did grow some amazing beans. I will have to check this out!
