Thailand HML Anaerobic

Huai Mae Liam is a coffee-producing village whose contributions have long gone unrecognized. For years, its coffee was sent to better-known regions like Doi Chang and Doi Pangkhon, where it was marketed under those names. Today, we celebrate the farmers of Huai Mae Liam by honoring their unique identity and craftsmanship.

This lot comes from the farm of Asor Merlaeku, a 39-year-old grower known for his skill and innovation in coffee production.

The process begins with hand-picked, fully ripe cherries, which are floated to remove defects. The cherries then undergo a five-day anaerobic fermentation inside hermetically sealed GrainPro bags. These oxygen-restrictive bags allow limited gas exchange, creating a vacuum-like environment that enhances sweetness and complexity.

After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, and the parchment is submerged in water for an additional day. Drying takes place on bamboo raised beds for approximately three weeks, followed by a one-month curing period in GrainPro bags to stabilize moisture and develop flavor.

Post-harvest, the green coffee is meticulously prepared through destoning, hulling, size grading, density sorting, and hand sorting. It passes multiple times over a density table to ensure the highest quality. For export, the coffee is packed in a triple-layered system: a cotton outer bag, a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) middle layer, and a GrainPro inner liner to preserve freshness and protect against environmental conditions.

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
