The Producer
For over 30 years, the DoiTung Development Project in Chiang Rai has been working to promote coffee cultivation as an alternative to opium poppy farming among local farmers. Having successfully achieved its initial goal, the project recognized that the majority of coffee grown in Thailand is of the Cartimor variety. In order to diversify and develop the potential of Thai coffee, the project has planted over 10 additional specialty coffee varieties on experimental plots. The project is collecting data on yield, cup quality, and ideal microclimates for each variety. This research will inform the feasibility of expanding coffee varieties and providing Thai coffee farmers in different areas with more options.

The Project
The primary goals of the DoiTung Development Project are to promote sustainable coffee income and to develop the area in a way that allows people to live in harmony with the forest. Therefore, the selection and development of Arabica coffee varieties suitable for different types of terrain has been expanded to other project areas outside of Chiang Rai, such as Chaloem Phra Kiat, Nan. The project has shared knowledge on plot management, drawing on lessons learned from Doi Tung and adapting it to Nan, resulting in high-quality coffee for consumers.

The Process
The Bourbon Washed Process is a Washed Process in which the project's team regularly purchases coffee cherries from participating farmers in the evening and transports them to the coffee processing facility. The cherries are then fermented for 1 night and hulled the following morning. The coffee is wet-fermented for 36-48 hours and then sun-dried on raised beds for 10 days. The coffee is turned every 1-2 hours during the drying process.
