Origin and Processing

It grows in Doi Saket, Thailand, a region gaining attention in specialty coffee for distinctive lots and carefully handled processing. The Arabica Bourbon variety provides a sweet and structured base that suits a more expressive fermentation profile very well.

The Lactic Natural process uses lactic acid bacteria during controlled fermentation to develop a creamier, rounder, and more complex cup. After ripe cherry selection, the coffee ferments in a closed environment and is then slowly dried until it reaches proper stability. The result is an exotic, aromatic cup that feels very different from a classic natural.
