Nestled on the scenic road between Pyin Oo Lwin and Mogok, near the border of Mandalay Division and Northern Shan State, lies Green Land Estate—a beacon of innovation and tradition in Myanmar’s burgeoning coffee industry. This family-run estate is led by U Sai Wan, whose lifelong connection to the region's coffee farms began during childhood trips from Yangon to visit family in Northern Shan. Those early memories have blossomed into a passion that now drives one of the largest Arabica plantations in the country, spanning an impressive 450 acres.

Under U Sai Wan's leadership, Green Land Estate has become a cornerstone of Myanmar’s coffee landscape, consistently earning top honors at the nation’s prestigious quality competitions. His influence extends beyond the estate, as he also serves as the Sales Director of Mandalay Coffee Group and plays a vital role in the Myanmar Coffee Association, championing the growth and global recognition of Myanmar coffee.

The estate itself is a hub of agricultural innovation and expertise. Together with his uncle, aunt, two local agronomists, and a dedicated team of local workers, U Sai Wan cultivates a diverse array of coffee varieties. The majority of the farm is planted with Costa Rica—a robust Catimor variety—while SL34 makes up around 10% of the crop. Ever the innovator, U Sai Wan is also experimenting with exciting new varietals like Yellow Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, and the prized Geisha, constantly pushing the boundaries of what Myanmar coffee can achieve.

Green Land Estate is not just a coffee farm; it’s a testament to U Sai Wan’s vision and commitment to excellence. His work is paving the way for Myanmar’s coffee industry, blending tradition with innovation, and bringing the rich flavors of this region to the world stage.
