This is a natural process coffee, which means the coffee cherries are dried whole, rather than fermented or processed another way, to separate the beans from the cherry’s fruit. This is also the oldest method for processing coffee. Yet the ability to produce consistently high-quality dry naturals is difficult, requiring slow sun-drying (typically between 15-20 days in Myanmar depending on altitude), raised dry beds for better airflow, and frequent turning to ensure the cherries dry evenly.

PRODUCER

U Khun Maung Song

Region

Indigo Mountain, Shan State

Myanmar, also called Burma, is a tropical and mountainous country in Southeast Asia which has seen exponential growth in its green coffee bean production over the past decade. Naung Sam Phu is a remote mountainside village in Myanmar, part of the Indigo Mountain cooperative. It is known for its transition from poppy farming to specialty coffee production, starting in 2018. With support from programs like UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) and USAID, the village has become a model for sustainable development, producing high-quality dry natural coffee while supporting its local Pa-O community.
