Coffee Facts

For the 2nd year running we have secured the entire microlot from Hopong Long Hay in collaboration with This Side Up. The cherries for this lot come from only the highest elevated plots and are selectively picked and meticulously sorted to produce a high quality and uniform lot.

Long Hay is a small community of 16 farmers who bring their cherry to the drying tables at Hopong. The dried cherries are then brought to Amayar Mill to be milled and exported with the help of Indigo Mountain.

With the help of This Side Up, we donated €3,800 to help our main point of contact at Indigo Mountain, Khun Kyaw Min Htike, travel to India. The plan is to develop knowledge in coffee agriculture and make a plan on how best to upgrade the farms in Hopong in a regenerative and genetically smart way.
