happysanook Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Anyone can recommend a place that's fair and fresh? A friend just got hustled for several kilos of beans that didn't turn out to be so good and overpriced as well. She only wants to buy maybe 500grams more. Not a huge amount.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You can probably get really good green peaberry beans at Thom's at Rim Ping. Won't be cheap, but could be the best green beans in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingjoke Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Try Kasem's. Good beans, good value and can be purchased in small amounts; been using them for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekalysto Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi Happysanook, I grow coffee in Chiang Rai. My label is Red Cliff Coffee. You can purchase it at Kasem Store, and I also ship for free to any location in Thailand. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to set you up with some fresh-roasted coffee. -Derekalysto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skills32 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 CMU coffee research department sells beans At a good price. I think about 300 baht. It's at the back of the Doi Kham vegetable (kings project) shop off Suthep RD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard10365 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I drive to Doi Inthanon and buy green beans from a farmer out there. I buy about 10kg at a time so I don't have to go so often. The last time I went I bought 10kg for 150 baht/kg. That was higher than normal only because prices across Thailand were a little high. I read somewhere the prices were higher because Thailand is exporting too much coffee. This creates an artificial shortage of usable green coffee beans in the country so the prices went up. Maybe Derekalysto can confirm that or not. And by the way Derekalysto, I am very interested in trying your green beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Are some posters confusing green beans, unroasted, with and where to purchase roasted beans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard10365 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think you might be right Gonzo. It was never specified whether green or roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Has anyone located a wet process coffee bean product in CM? Most coffee is dried in the sun where it tends to ferment and produce mold. Wet process is supposed to provide a clearer mind and less immune system harm. Anybody have any tips? http://www.bulletproofexec.com/good-news-on-coffee-keeps-rolling-in-less-strokes-diabetes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaideeguy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Coffee from Tesedet [sp?] up near the 'Jungle Flight' does the wet process in the main village Pang Hai. Also just inquired from our local supplier in Doi Saket what price was for green beans and it's 190/kilo....they sell a good roasted coffee for 350/kilo. The price of beans varies during the year, depending on demand/supply and the coffee available now was harvested in Nov/Dec last year. This year's harvest is just starting and new prices will be set after the 1st of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found this CM outlet which uses a wet process. http://www.akhaama.com/products/ still a lot of variation in wet process and drying. If the moisture level is above 12% then the fungi and molds will grow and feed off the sugars in the bean.
