Coffee from Myanmar
While coffee isn’t a new crop to Myanmar, the struggles of civil war and isolation have meant exports were very low. With strong body and earthy tones, coffee from Myanmar makes for a great espresso roast.
Myanmar
A UN funded project aimed at replacing opium production in this Southeast Asian country has led to higher grade specialty coffee and better infrastructure, meaning it is now more easily sourced outside of Asia. The large tropical rainforest and mountainous landscape in the central corridor of Shan State offers an ideal climate for cultivation and is now being matched with better education and training by the Mandalay Coffee Group and Myanmar Coffee Association to grow the specialty coffee market in the country.
