Thailand Pink Valley Anaerobic Natural

Tasting Notes Seductive aromas of ripe strawberry, lychee and rose. Flavors of milk chocolate, caramel and pineapple await in the cup, supported by a balanced, creamy mouth feel. A great light roast coffee to pair with desserts, or replace them altogether.  Background Info * Direct Trade micro-lot Shade-grown, beneath an over-story thick with cherry blossom trees, the villagers grow a handful of heirloom coffee varieties, given to them by the late king of Thailand 30-40 years prior. Mixed in with newer generation of hybrid varieties developed within Thailand like Chiang Mai 80. It's a lush, mountainous area just west of Chiang Rai, known locally as Huay Chompu, or Pink Valley.  We've been working with farms in the area for several years. Most of the production in this area is of washed coffees. But blessed with a few weeks of warm sunny weather the Merlaeku family took the opportunity to produce a few bags of naturals. This is for fans of extravagantly fruit-toned natural process coffe
