Roaster's Notes: 
This blend of Catuai, Chiang Mai, and Typica varieties, processed using the White Honey method, invites us into the vibrant world of coffee production in the Doi Pangkhon community of Chiang Rai, Thailand, a region where coffee farming is steadily evolving and thriving.
This year, we are excited to showcase a standout lot from the farm of Asor Merlaeku, a skilled producer from the Huai Mae Liam village. Asor's dedication and expertise shine through in this partially fermented coffee, where the coffee is removed from fermentation tanks before the process is complete, leaving some mucilage on the parchment. The result is a cup profile that combines the brightness of a washed coffee with the smoothness and sweetness of a honey process.
This specific White Honey process stands out for its lighter body and delicate flavor profile, achieved by limiting mucilage fermentation. The coffee retains a lighter color and offers a refined taste experience, showcasing the meticulous care behind its production.
