Doi Chaang Coffee

For over 18 years, Doi Chaang Coffee has been perfecting the art of coffee production and is now recognized as one of the highest quality coffee both in Thailand and around the world. Doi Chaang Coffee is one of the first coffee producers in Thailand who was able to hit the big leagues and become internationally recognized due to their quality coffee beans. Doi Chaang Coffee is well-known for coffee that has a unique aroma, acidic balance and a very low caffeine content. Considered one of the best Arabica coffees in the world, Doi Chaang Coffee is one of the best coffees to be grown in Thailand.

Doi Tung

Established in 1988 by Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra (the Princess Mother), the Doi Tung Coffee Development Project is located in the center of the Golden Triangle. The original aim and goal was purely just to uplift the agriculture opportunities for the local hill tribes, in order to generate jobs and income. And the coffee development project became a huge success both within Thailand and internationally. Their coffee is grown and harvested in Chiang Rai with the help of 29 local villages and six ethnic groups. Doi Tung Coffee was first available for export in 2013 and is often served on Japan Airlines flights. Doi Tung’s coffee beans are processed and roasted locally and have a well-balanced taste, featuring fruity taste notes and sweet overtones.
