FINDING THE FINE ROBUSTA 

As the second generation of robusta farmers from a family selling Robusta to instant coffee factories, Thawat "Nheng" had the vision to pursue the production of fine Robusta while creating a more sustainable livelihood for himself and his family. So, far he hasn't only brought fine Robusta processing to a new level but has done so while making his own compost and managing an intercropping system. The farm is fully irrigated with 7 reservoirs. 

CULTIVARS:

High Elevation Robusta

ALTITUDE:

600 meters above sea level.

Procesing:

Fully Washed: after going through a wet fermentation process for 12-24 hours, the pulped coffee was soaked in fresh water for another 12 hours; dried in bamboo raised beds and greenhouses for 15 to 20 days. This coffee is shipped in a triple layered bag: a cotton bag in the outer layer, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in the middle layer, and Grain Pro in the innermost layer.

NOTABLE:

Thawats’ uses his own compost. His fine Robusta has allowed him to fund his nephew and build a new house. This is in sharp contrast to the days when all the coffee was sold to instant coffee factories.
