Myanmar-sl-28 Natural

Summary

Myanmar-SL-28 Natural is a single-origin coffee from Shwe Yi Mon Estate in Mandalay, Myanmar, grown at 1,000–1,150 meters above sea level. The estate, run by U Ye Myint, founder of the Myanmar Coffee Association, interplants coffee with macadamia and hardwood shade trees to slow maturation and build density. It features SL28, a traditional Kenyan hybrid variety rarely grown in Myanmar. Processed as a natural, with selective picking and disciplined sorting, the coffee is dried on raised beds inside solar dryers over 18–25 days, yielding more fruit expression, sweetness, and a little wildness in the cup.
