The majority of farmers in Doi Pangkhon (300 families) have switched to processing their coffee using a Kenya-style double-washed method. This involves pulping coffee cherries at night and leaving the parchment to ferment in a tank without the use of water for one night. And then on the second night, the parchment is then fermented again, but this time by soaking it under water. This process is also known as a double fermentation washed method, commonly seen in Africa. The parchment is then dried on bamboo-raised beds until the right moisture content before getting hulled, size sorted, density sorted and hand sorted to remove all the defects.

Full bodied and full of dark chocolate, this is a refined version of a classic flavour profile. There's a delicate red apple note and sultanas on the finish of this clean and well balanced cup.
