Thailand Baan Ku Klong

I know you're thinking. After all, Thailand is far from a traditional growing region for coffee. Most of us are used to seeing coffees from places like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Colombia - yet Thailand's soil, climate, and processing methods make what amounts to lights out coffee, and something you may not always have an opportunity to experience.

For over a century, refugees fleeing political and social upheaval in China and Southeast Asia have migrated to Northern Thailand. Stateless, these refugees live in poverty without many chances for a better life. It isn’t in any one person’s power to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the world, but, when we work together, we can do great things. Today, over 400 coffee farms in Northern Thailand are 100% farmer owned.
