Thai Coffee; #20 of coffee producers worldwide!
- Coffee has been around since 1850 in Chantaburi province.
- Commercial coffee cultivation in Thailand began in 1975 with coffee from Brazilian breeding lines in the province of Chiang Mai,
- to an initiative of the government, which wanted to open up a new source of income for the former opium farmers.
- Through the support of the UN and the Thai royal house, organic coffee could be established as a marketable product.
- Coffee is cultivated in mixed cultures without fertilizer and chemistry.
- Some of the Arabicas growing in the north are speciality coffee – like the Doi Chaang coffee.
- With Black Ivory and Kopi Luwak coffee it should be clear that here very exclusive coffee is produced, which is also the most expensive in the world!
- 10 % Arabica (อาราบิก้า) are grown at heights of 600 – 1,500 m in the north of Thailand
- 90 % Robusta (โรบัสต้า) grow in the south at 300 – 800 m altitude.
- Since the Thais also preferring this taste, the almost exclusive instant coffee so far has received serious competition.
