I wonder if anyone knows of wholesalers or importers of coffee from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in Thailand - can be beans or ground, already packed/branded or not.

Thanks a lot.

Hmm. Who needs those imported coffees? Here in Chiang Mai Province (no import tax to pay) a very fine quality of Arabica coffee is grown, roasted and sold under various brands. In CM city i always buy from Hillkopf coffee house, a major supplier of 'morning goodness'. Half a kilo about 220 baht; ground as you want. Maybe they have an online shop or sell in your town.

Thanks. I have Thai coffee well covered, but not coffee from the other countries.

DAO seemed to be the major brand in Laos when the wife picked these up at laos duty free recently. Maybe contact them

Thanks re Dao - they have a joint venture in Thailand, with limited distribution, but I'm told it can be bought in Villa market and will check next week.

Cambodian coffee from Mondulkiri is what I hope to find somewhere in Thailand, but I was interested to read this today, which suggests probably not....

Why don't you go for the coffee which is partially digested by a small wiesel-like animal (cafe cut chon?) It's said that the animals choose to eat only the best berries.

I've had it (bought in Saigon) and it was delicious, but very expensive as it was crapped out by free-roaming civets (as opposed to caged ones).

Good ground coffee widely available for B120.00 kg. Not the jet black tar cafe Borran but a bit of a local secret.

I would also recommend considering the arabica from Sumatra, just a short haul from here. Sumatra was one of the very top coffees according to the coffee traders at my company (Cargill), they put it up there with Kenya-AA and above the Hawaii and Jamaica beans. Note that these were very serious professionals, buying and selling railcar lots, and had been at it for many years. I got a good education from them, almost went into the biz and maybe should have done so.
