Thailand Anusorn from the Thai roastery Factory Coffee is a filter coffee that offers a distinctive and sweet flavor profile with an exotic touch. In the cup , raisins, apricots, and jackfruit come together to create a full-bodied, fruity, and slightly fermented character. The coffee is sweet, intense, and intriguingly layered, so you’ll enjoy it from the first sip through to the long finish.
The coffee beans come from Thailand, specifically from the Chiang Rai, Mae Jan Tai region. The producer of this coffee is Anusorn Juepa, who farms at Akaza GM Farm. This lot is labeled “mixed,” meaning it is a blend of multiple coffee varieties. The coffee is grown at an altitude of around 1,400 meters above sea level, which contributes to its sweetness and complexity in the cup. The Chiang Rai region is known for its mountainous terrain and a burgeoning specialty coffee scene, where an increasing number of producers are focusing on quality and experimental processing methods.
The coffee is processed using the ASD Natural method, a variation of the natural process with an emphasis on controlled fermentation. The coffee cherries are dried whole—that is, with both the skin and pulp—and during this process, sweet, fruity, and slightly fermented notes develop. The ASD designation typically refers to a controlled drying and fermentation process that helps highlight the complexity and stability of the resulting cup. The result is a coffee with a full body, pronounced sweetness, and an intense fruity profile that really shines in filtered preparations.
