Your guide to Thailand

  • What is the flavour of Thai coffee?

    Thai coffee is celebrated for its smooth, complex flavour profile. In Thailand, arabica coffee is predominantly grown in the northern regions, while robusta thrives in the south. Thai arabica beans are especially prized for their rich chocolate and orange blossom tasting notes, as well as delightful notes of chocolate, caramel, and fruit. The coffee is well-balanced with medium acidity, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a harmonious and flavorful brew.The country’s diverse climate and mountainous terrain contribute to the unique character of its beans.

  • What is the history of coffee in Thailand?

    The journey of coffee in Thailand began in the 19th century when it was introduced by King Rama V to reduce the country’s economic dependence on rice production. Initially cultivated in small quantities, coffee production expanded significantly in the 1970s as part of a national initiative to grow cash crops in the northern regions. This effort aimed to replace the cultivation of opium poppies with sustainable alternatives like coffee.

    A few years after this initiative, Thai coffee entered the global market and has since solidified its position as a respected coffee producer. This success can be attributed to advancements in farming techniques, innovation, and supportive funding, which have elevated the quality and reputation of Thai coffee worldwide.
