Mai Thai Coffee is cultivated in the highlands
of Northern Thailand. Ideal climate, altitude and soil conditions
as well as a meticulous picking and processing system attribute
to the rich but mellow taste of Mai Thai Coffee.
Each farm is developed using organic farming
techniques. Coffee plants are nestled among macadamia, palms and
other local trees providing the shade necessary for the highest
grade coffee.
Villages across northern Thailand are being
required by the Thai Government to restrict their land use. Primitive
slash and burn cultivation methods used for centuries by the villagers
are no longer permitted. The Royal Forestry Department of Thailand
looks favorably on coffee cultivation in the highlands as it eliminates
erosion and helps restore the essential watersheds. Coffee cultivation
is helping villagers to earn their livelihood on less land.
Mai Thai Coffee is a cooperative effort
developed with care from the farmer to the consumer to the children
that benefit from the project.
