The Lady Specialty Coffee

Ywangan, Shan State, Myanmar

The Lady Specialty Coffee was created by two innovators of Myanmar’s specialty coffee scene, Su Nandar Linn and Thi Ha Gyawalie who wanted to improve the livelihoods of female coffee farmers in Ywangan. Their coffees are produced exclusively by women and they now work with over 400 female producers across the region.

This coffee is produced using innovative carbonic maceration processing techniques, utilising both wet and dry fermentation prior to rinsing and drying. For the dry fermentation, the cherry is placed in sealed tanks to bring up the brix level (degree of sweetness), helping to increase body and sweetness. For the wet fermentation, cherry is placed under water in closed tanks for a fixed period until the desired pH level is reached.
