Thailand’s northern highlands are home to some of the country’s most exciting specialty coffees, and the Chaiprakam region in Chiang Rai province stands out for its distinctive single-origin offerings. Situated at elevations between 1,000 and 1,300 meters above sea level, Chaiprakam farms benefit from a tropical climate with well-defined wet and dry seasons. The region is slightly warmer and more humid than higher-altitude areas, with consistent rainfall that nurtures coffee plants while producing balanced, approachable beans.
This lot is processed using the fully washed (or wet) method, where the coffee cherry’s outer layers are carefully removed before drying. This meticulous process results in a cleaner cup with bright, lively acidity and pronounced clarity. The flavors are crisp and refined, often featuring floral notes and a smooth, clean finish that highlights the natural character of the coffee.
Chaiprakam’s combination of fertile soils, moderate elevation, and attentive farming practices produces coffees that are both vibrant and approachable. This fully washed single-origin coffee offers a glimpse into the emerging coffee culture of northern Thailand, where tradition and innovation meet to create unique, flavorful cups. For coffee lovers seeking clarity, brightness, and subtle complexity, Chaiprakam is a region worth exploring.
