Thailand Doi Phu Khaa

You can tell from the outset that Beanspire faced an uphill battle, yet they are still producing exceptional coffee. Like our friends at Cedro Alto, who supply some of our Colombian coffees, Beanspire is a Thai-only collective that works hands-on with farmers to help them access international specialty markets. At Mostra, instead of focusing on self-promotion through specific trade types or certifications, we prioritize making the biggest impact by sourcing the best coffee available.

This coffee hails from the Doi Phu Khaa region, specifically from the Gem Forest coffee mill in Nan Province near the Laos border. The mill is operated by Kaleb Jordan, who grew up in this region with his American-born parents. After university, he returned to his hometown, looking for ways to support the local villages, and improving coffee crops and their distribution became his calling. We are also currently featuring an excellent robusta he processed. This Arabica honey coffee comes from cherries of mixed varieties sourced at up to 1500m on Doi Phu Khaa. Kaleb's coffee was ranked 1st in the inaugural 'Best of Thailand' competition, a COE Pilot program, this year.

For this experimental coffee, Kaleb implemented a process called "Kombucha White Honey." Coffee cherries are harvested, floated, and pulped immediately. Then the pulped coffee is submerged in spring water and sealed in a barrel with a 1:50 inoculation of kombucha (made with local microbes) for 36 hours at 25°C, still leaving some of the mucilage on the parchment. The coffee is then removed from the barrel and shade-dried without removing the mucilage. Drying time is about 20 days.

Every bag begins with a fresh roast, never warehouse stock. We roast coffee in small batches and ship it shortly after, sealing in the vibrant aroma and flavor so it reaches you at its peak. From roast to doorstep, we make sure your coffee’s journey is as short and as fresh as possible.

We aim to process orders within 1–2 business days, though in some cases it may take up to 3–5 business days.

Most orders are then shipped via USPS Priority Mail or USPS First Class/Ground (Local Zones), with an estimated transit time of 1–3 business days from the shipment date. Other carriers may be used at our discretion.

Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number to follow your package every step of the way.

Exceptions may include:

• Peak seasons (such as holidays)
• Special release coffees with limited roast schedules
