Thailand Mae Chedi

About this coffee

From our relationship with Beanspire, we are excited to offer this year’s harvest of the Mae Chedi cooperative red honey lot. Led by Fuadi Pitsuwan and Jane Kittirattanapaiboon, Beanspire collaborates closely with the 19-member cooperative in the Mae Chedi district of Chiang Rai.

Traditionally, Mae Chedi was known primarily for its tea plantations, which were the main source of income for many farmers. While coffee has always been present in the region, it was secondary to tea. Today, with the rising demand for Thai specialty coffee, a new generation of farmers is embracing coffee cultivation with a dedication that has set the nation apart as one of the fastest-developing coffee-producing countries.

This year we have the Red Honey lot from Mae Chedi. A very interesting flavour profile with notes of cashew, apricot and white pepper.
