raslin Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Anyone know a distributor, or even a retailer of quality single origin bean coffee other than Starbucks and 94? Sisuki coffee from Tesco is OK but not sure about the single bean source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBKK Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 On the subject of coffee, does anyone know what happened to the DoiTung organic coffee? I like(d) it and it just seemed to disappear a few months ago (6?) I've tried all the Bangkok supermarkets (well, OK, only one or two branches of each) and can't find it anywhere. I've also asked a few times and just get ''we don't have any'' as an answer. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I know this doesn't help at all, but I am pretty sure I saw it on the shelves of the Samui Tesco Lotus last week. Perhaps they have started carrying it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabaijai Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 In Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai you'll find lots of excellent Thai Arabicas on offer. Cafe Libernard in CM is a good source, as they roast on site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Coffee and Thailand go together like gin and tonic and the future looks good ... couple of Facts and bits of information about where and when.... Another well known outfit that you will find in every shopping mall is of course Black Canyon.... join their club (BCCCC)and you can get some not 2 bad ...discounts.... The Duang Dee Coffee Story In the past, Large Development Programs promoted coffee growing in many small hill tribe villages, in northern Thailand, as a cash crop replacement for opium growing, as it can be stored for a long time. However thousands of the finest coffee trees were abandoned or cut down as many of the small and most remote farmers , who produced the best beans, had no ready market to sell their premium raw coffee beans. This problem is now solved! We at "Duang Dee Hill Tribe Coffee" a small "micro coffee roasting company", now work together with these remote farmers and purchase all these small amounts of coffee, that each farmer produces and then we blend and hand roast it, to produce the finest "Organically Grown" coffee in Thailand. http://northernthailand.com/duangdeecoffee/index.html Northern Coffee On any given day, Lanna Cafe in Chiang Mai is a busy place. There is the hum of conversation of businesspeople and local teachers, students taking a break from their classes and tourists, all to the accompanying whir of the cappuccino machine steadily churning out lattes, au laits and strong-brewed coffees to its patrons. The walls of this little cafe nook are covered in coffee history. Colourful charts explain the process of roasting beans, the history of the cafe and other coffee-related trivia. Filters and coffee plungers line the shelves, fighting for space with northern hill-tribe produced dolls and purses. And, as the seeming centrepiece in a refrigerator next to the counter, are row upon row of green, red, white and silver coffee bags, cooled locally-produced ground and ungrounded beans sorted by blend. http://www.travel-phuket.com/04jul-northern.htm A Few Facts on Thailand as a Coffee Nation Thailand is a coffee nation, ranked third (after Indonesia and Vietnam) in Southeast Asia in annual raw coffee production. While there are many species of coffee trees in the world, only Arabica and Robusta have major economic significance, both of which are grown in Thailand. At present, Thailand produces approximately: 80,000 tons of Robusta coffee, of which 40% (ca. 30,000 tons) are processed locally and about 60% (ca. 50,000 tons) is exported. A few hundred tons of Arabica coffee, which are almost entirely processed locally http://www.boncafe.co.th/thai-coffee/thai-coffee.htm Write direct to us for coffee supplies as we sell Arabic and Expresso Coffee beans world wide.

lotus eater Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 "on the subject of coffee", does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether ground coffee - once out of the vacuum pack - is best kept in the freezer, fridge or neither? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
