What an honor to have a coffee from a rare origin such an Myanmar!
Indigo Mountain partners with small-scale farmers in remote villages, providing training and support to transition from risky poppy cultivation to sustainable coffee production.
By offering a reliable income source, they help farmers improve their livelihoods and contribute to the local economy. This particular village, known for its Pa O ethnic minority, produces coffee alongside other crops like avocado, ginger, and turmeric.
Well rounded with a creamy body. Taste of tamarind and berries with a lingering finish.

Process
Sun dried natural process: Cherries are hand picked by Hopong community members in the early hours of the day. Once the collection is finished, members deliver cherries to Hopong drying stations. On delivery, cherries are screened and handpicked to about 95% cherry ripeness level. Fully ripe cherries are then placed on raised beds. Slow drying is a priority and drying times range between 13-17 days depending on weather conditions. All lots are separated by day and all members’ deliveries are fully traceable.

How to communicate the benefits of coffee in areas that have never worked with it? How to slowly attract new farmers and inspire them to stay with their families, work their land and abandon the risks involved in poppy? Khun, together with his partners in Indigo Mountain, has to constantly prove that coffee can indeed become an option for a better future.
While offering close assistance and marketing their coffee, he must also be prepared for the possibility of recently trained farmers abandoning the project and migrating to Thailand. This village, located a bit lower than Bat Sawk, was one of the first villages to join Indigo Mountain. All farmers from this village are from the Pa O ethnic minority, and besides growing coffee, and because it’s slightly lower than Bant Sawk, they also produce other crops such as avocado, ginger, turmeric, and Cheroot Leaf.
