Jaroon's innovative vision has brought his community to expand the limits of the coffee they produce. With a team of collaborators, Jaroon continuously experiments and is not afraid to try new processing methods.

This area grows mainly Chiang Mai variety, a local hybrid that crosses SL28, Caturra, and Hibrido de Timor. So, to improve the cup quality, it's a catimor variant backcrossed with SL28. For us, working with such a committed and innovative farmer is a true accomplishment.

CULTIVARS:

Chiang Mai

ALTITUDE:

1,100 meters above sea level.

PROCESSING:

Anaerobic Black Honey: coffee cherries are fermented in closed HDPE bags and submerged under water for three days, pulped without water and dried on raised beds inside a greenhouse with the assistance of a dehumidifier.

Anaerobic Natural: coffee cherries were kept in closed HDPE bags and submerged under water to keep the temperature down for . three days. Soon after, the coffee cherries were laid on raised beds in a green drying house for another three days. Soon after, the coffee cherries were moved inside a completely sealed room, and dried using a dehumidifier known as the "Low Temperature Low Humidity". Coffee cherries were then further cured, kept in GrainPro as dried pods, for two months before milling.

Anaerobic Black Honey with Profile Drying: this is an anaerobic black honey with a drying profile. Coffee cherries were fermented in closed HDPE bags and submerged under water for three days, coffee cherries were pulped without water and dried on raised beds inside a greenhouse with the assistance of a dehumidifier.

Anaerobic Natural with Low Temperature and Low Humidity Drying Profile: coffee cherries were rested in closed HDPE bags and submerged under water to keep the temperature down in order to avoid unwanted fermentation. After three days, the coffee cherries were laid on raised beds in a green drying house for another three days. After the cherries were 'settled' (i.e. started to turn black as they had lost enough moisture), they were moved inside a completely sealed room.

NOTABLE:

This is catimor variant (like Colombia and Castillo varietals) that's backcrossed with SL28 in order to improve the cup quality. It's a rust resistant cultivar that's been developed by the late King as part of his effort to eradicate opium plantation by the hill tribe in the North.
