Myanmar

Myanmar coffee is a rising star in the specialty world, offering a unique mix of vibrant flavours and rich complexity. These beans showcase everything from juicy, fruit-forward naturals to clean, citrusy washed coffees with bright acidity and floral notes. With a growing reputation for quality and sustainability, Myanmar is fast becoming a must-try origin for roasters looking for something truly distinctive.

  • What is the flavour profile of coffee from Myanmar?

    Myanmar’s coffee is known for its rich complexity and vibrant flavours, thanks to the high-altitude farms of Shan State. Natural-processed beans bring bold, fruity notes with a juicy, wild character, while washed coffees highlight crisp clarity with bright citrus and floral tones. Expect medium to high acidity, a balanced body, and a refined sweetness that makes Myanmar coffee stand out.

  • What is special about coffee from Myanmar?

    Myanmar’s coffee industry may be young, but it’s making a big impact. With diverse growing regions and a strong cultural heritage, the country is producing high-quality, distinctive Arabica beans. Investment in better farming practices, improved processing techniques, and farmer training has elevated quality and boosted returns for growers. As a result, Myanmar is quickly becoming a key origin for exceptional specialty coffee.

  • What is our relationship with Burmese producers like?

    We source our Myanmar green coffee through Indochina Coffee, a trusted partner committed to fair, long-term relationships with producers. Their hands-on approach means they work directly with farmers and processors, ensuring both quality and fair returns for the communities behind the beans.

    Indochina’s focus on responsible trade aligns with our values—we believe in supporting producers who are investing in better farming and processing methods, so they can build a sustainable future. By working with them, we have access to exceptional Myanmar coffees while ensuring the people growing them see the benefits of their hard work.

Your questions, answered

What is the Green Coffee Collective?

We’re a community of coffee producers and sourcing experts, all working together to make green coffee easy to access—whether you’re a hobby roaster at home or a professional roasting hundreds of tonnes a year. Our platform is designed to simplify buying green coffee, just like any other online shopping experience. No fuss, just great coffee at your fingertips.

Do you offer support for direct trade relationships with producers?

Yes, we’re always happy to make introductions! If you’re interested in working directly with one of our producers, just send us an email (hello@greencoffeecollective.com) and we’ll gladly help facilitate the connection. For larger volumes, we can also assist with logistics and any complexities involved in sourcing directly from producers.

Do you offer samples or trial batches before committing to larger orders?

Yes, we offer samples for most of our coffees. If you need a larger sample than what’s typically available, we recommend trying one of the smaller quantity options listed on our site. That way, you can test the coffee before committing to a larger order.

What is your process for ensuring consistency between lots or harvests?

We work closely with our sourcing partners to make sure we’re always offering top-quality coffee. Most of the partners you’ll find on our site have years of experience in their regions, and they use that expertise to access the best coffees available each season. Their deep relationships with producers help maintain consistency in both quality and supply.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for large-scale or long-term contracts?

For larger-scale or long-term contracts, you can start with as little as a single bag. We’re also working on tools to help you access harvests and reserve coffees before they even leave the country. While it’s not fully ready yet, we’re always here to help roasters of any size connect with the producers they want to work with.

How do you handle logistics and shipping for larger orders?

We’ve got you covered! For larger orders, we offer full logistical support, including freight, warehousing, and inventory management. We’ll make sure the process is as smooth and hassle-free as possible, so you can focus on roasting great coffee. If you’re shipping internationally, we can also assist in ensuring smooth delivery.

Can I arrange a visit to origin or participate in harvest season visits?

We’re working on coordinating trips in the future! In the meantime, if there’s a specific origin you’d like to visit, just get in touch with us, and we’ll do our best to help arrange something.
