This is Thai coffee doing something genuinely exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoi Pangkhon sits in the highlands of Chiang Mai province, one of Thailand's most celebrated coffee-growing regions. At altitude, the cooler temperatures and distinct dry season slow cherry development, building complexity and sweetness that punches well above what most people expect from Southeast Asian coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot comes from the \u003cstrong\u003eMerlaeku brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e, a family of producers in the Doi Pangkhon area whose meticulous approach to farming and processing has earned them a serious reputation in the specialty world. The coffee is exported by \u003cstrong\u003eBeanSpire\u003c\/strong\u003e, a Bangkok-based exporter dedicated to elevating Thai specialty coffee on the world stage, and imported into Europe by \u003cstrong\u003eThis Side Up\u003c\/strong\u003e. We're delighted to be offering this as a \u003cstrong\u003eEuropean exclusive\u003c\/strong\u003e — This Side Up haven't taken any of this lot for spot, so you won't find it anywhere else on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe processing is where things get really interesting. After harvest, ripe cherries are collected and cleaned before a culture of \u003cstrong\u003eLactic Acid Bacteria (LAB)\u003c\/strong\u003e is introduced to the fermentation environment. This controlled inoculation encourages a lactic fermentation — producing the smooth, creamy acidity and complex fruit character that defines this style — before the coffee is then natural processed, drying whole-cherry on raised beds. The result is a cup with the wild sweetness of a natural and the structured, silky texture of a lactic ferment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🌍 \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doi Pangkhon, Chiang Mai, Thailand\u003cbr\u003e\n👨‍🌾 \u003cstrong\u003eProducers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merlaeku Brothers\u003cbr\u003e\n📦 \u003cstrong\u003eExporter:\u003c\/strong\u003e BeanSpire\u003cbr\u003e\n🚢 \u003cstrong\u003eImporter:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Side Up\u003cbr\u003e\n🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed (mainly Chiang Mai, SJ133 \u0026amp; Typica)\u003cbr\u003e\n🔬 \u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lactic Anaerobic Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFilter:\u003c\/em\u003e Lush and expressive — stone fruit sweetness, tropical complexity, and a silky, winey finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEspresso:\u003c\/em\u003e Rich and jammy.
