Sugary and bright taste with notes of caramel, honey, and banana leaves. Perfect balance and good mouthfeel. Ideal for light brewing methods. We can't keep going back to it morning after morning.
My brother and I had the chance to visit the Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai regions in northern Thailand.
We visited several coffee farms and joined multiple cuppings. This honey-processed coffee from Hillkoff caught our attention immediately.
The bright, sugary sweetness and those distinctive banana leaf notes made this one unforgettable. It became our go-to for lighter, more delicate brewing methods.
Samoeng sits in the scenic mountains of Chiang Mai province, part of Thailand's celebrated highland coffee region where elevation and climate create something special.
At 1,300 meters above sea level, this district offers ideal conditions for arabica cultivation - cool mountain air, rich volcanic soils, and the kind of terroir that brings out unique flavor characteristics you won't find anywhere else.
The area shares the same transformation story as neighboring regions, where coffee replaced opium crops in the 1960s and 70s through royal agricultural programs. Today, Samoeng's small family farms continue this legacy of sustainable mountain agriculture.
What sets Samoeng apart is how the specific microclimate interacts with traditional honey processing methods. The result is coffee with a distinctive sweetness and those remarkable banana leaf notes that make this region's beans instantly recognizable to anyone who's tasted them.
This coffee is produced by Hillkoff farm in Thailand.
