The estate is led by U Sai Wan, a key figure in Myanmar’s coffee industry and a passionate innovator who works alongside his family, local agronomists, and a dedicated team of workers. The farm’s main varietal is Costa Rica Catimor, with a smaller amount of SL34 and ongoing experiments with Yellow Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, and Geisha, offering a diverse and exciting range of flavour potential.
