Myanmar is rich in flavours of Dark Milk Chocolate, Tamarind, and Lime.
Green Land estate lies on the road between Pyin Oo Lwin and Mogok,
near the border of Mandalay Division and Northern Shan State.
U Sai Wan is a leading innovator in Myanmar’s specialty coffee industry, winning national quality competitions for his Green Land coffees. He operates the estate together with his uncle and aunt, along with two local agronomists and many local workers. He runs one of the largest arabica plantations in the country (about 450).
Myanmar, also called Burma, is located in the western portion of main
land Southeast Asia. In 1989 the country’s official English name,
which it had held since 1885, was changed from the Union of Burma to
the Union of Myanmar.
Myanmar has been growing coffee since the late 1800s, introduced
by British colonists. Following Myanmar’s independence in 1948, a
concerted drive to produce coffee occurred much later during the
political reforms of 2011, when agricultural growth was encouraged as
part of the government's opium eradication programme.
