Myanmar Kyauk Ku Pyin

From the hills of Southern Shan State, this remarkable natural process Catuai coffee represents both exceptional flavor and extraordinary dedication. Grown at 1,356 meters by over 400 Danu families in the Kyauk Ku Pyin community, this coffee delivers a remarkably clean cup with a clarity that defies expectations for natural processing.

In the cup, you’ll find the distinct sweetness of clear gummy bears up front, followed by rich plum notes, and finishing with the warmth of wildflower honey. The coffee carries a light, smooth body with a refreshing juiciness that brightens without overwhelming.

What makes this coffee truly special goes beyond its exceptional flavor profile. During a visit to the region, our sourcing partners witnessed a woman arriving on foot with 110 pounds of ripe cherries she had carried for fifteen minutes; a humbling reminder of the intensive work behind every bean. This care shows in the cup, where the Catuai variety reveals its true character thanks to their careful natural processing.

This season’s harvest from these 250 hectares of coffee land represents a community’s commitment to specialty coffee cultivation. Each carefully selected cherry contributes to a coffee that stands apart through both its distinctive character and the story of the people who make it possible.
