Coffee beans from Burma

In fact, Burma began to grow coffee beans at the end of the 19th century (1885).

However, it has not been popularized and planted on a large scale, and only a small part of it has been exported.

(it cannot be called export because Myanmar and India were British colonies at that time) to India and the United Kingdom

Until the middle and late 20th century, the United Nations Drug abuse Control Programme (UNDCP)

In order to urge farmers in Shan State of Myanmar to give up growing opium poppy to extract opium and drugs

As a result, coffee cultivation activities were promoted in Shan State and a large number of subsidies were provided as incentives for the success of the project.

But drugs are hugely profitable and controlled by the junta, so farmers pretend to join the project to earn subsidies

But in essence, poppy cultivation continued, so the coffee promotion program failed.

However, because of this wave of promotion, coffee cultivation in Myanmar has laid a deeper foundation.

So far, there are about 100000 acres of coffee fields in Myanmar, more than half of which are located around the southern Shan State and WA City.

Especially in the vicinity of wonderful areas. Therefore, this region is the most important and essential coffee producing area in Myanmar.

Because of the above historical factors and the junta's long-term policy of locking up the country, coffee farms generally lie in the immaturity of management and processing technology.

However, the unique natural shade forest and low pollution environment have unexpectedly become the innate advantages of high-quality coffee.

And for a long time, Burmese agricultural officials have been looking for the most suitable varieties of coffee to grow in Myanmar.

Send agricultural experts to search high-quality coffee producing areas around the world, retrieve plants and seeds, and popularize them on a trial basis in Myanmar.

Therefore, most of the world's well-known beans can be found in Myanmar.

For example, Catimor H528, Catuai, Blue Mountain, SL34

With the best local variety S795 in Myanmar, the coffee is rich and interesting, so you don't have to travel all over the world.

You can also find first-class beans from Africa and Central and South America in Myanmar, a treasure land where coffee lovers can have unlimited fun.
