Doi Saket is Thailand's oldest coffee growing area. The first Arabica trees were part of the opium replacement program in the late 1970s and were never replaced by higher-yield cultivars, as in many other regions.

 

Beanspire worked with Nui & Aoi, a young couple, who had quit their white collar jobs in the city to return to their parents' coffee farm, on these rarer Bourbon Mayaguez 139 with yellow cherries. This coffee is an extra complex, but a clean natural process that is on par with naturals from more established origins in Africa and Central America.
