Chiang Mai (Anaerobic Natural)

In the high-altitude sanctuary of Mae Daet Noi, Chiang Mai, the Lica Coffee Estate is pushing the boundaries of Thai coffee through experimental science. 

This lot undergoes an Anaerobic Natural process. The whole cherries are placed in oxygen-free, sealed tanks for a specific duration before drying. This oxygen-deprived environment encourages a unique microbial activity that breaks down sugars differently than traditional methods, creating intense, unconventional aromatics and a remarkably deep complexity within the bean.

The profile is exotic, bold, and multi-layered with notes of red plum, mocha and molasses.

It is a striking example of the "New Wave" of Thai coffee, a cup that balances the wild spirit of the Chiang Mai mountains with the sophisticated touch of modern anaerobic processing.
