Every month we will bring you two brand new, truly exceptional coffees. Bringing together bright and vibrant coffees from producers that we work closely with, always in line with the changing seasons. This box is an opportunity for us to share our most exciting micro-lots, never repeating a coffee within a calendar year. We roast and ship these coffees at the beginning of each month so all new orders placed will be not be shipped immediately.
Box 024 will ship on Thursday the 2nd of January. In this month's box, we feature two contrasting coffees from two differend origins both in Asia.

Padah Lin
This coffee is comprised of microlots grown across the remote mountainous area of Ywangan, southern Shan state, Myanmar, and is produced by Mandalay Coffee Group. The smallholder farmers are predominantly from Danu and Pa-O hill tribes, working between 0.25 and 3 acres of land. Coffee is intercropped with avocados, jackfruit, papaya and macadamia nuts. This Red Catuai is hand sorted before being taken to the Mandalay Coffee Group’s processing mill in Pyin Oo Lwin. Here it is floated for density, pulped and fermented in ceramic tanks overnight. The lots are rinsed then dried for 7-10 days on concrete patios.
