Three Approaches to Thai Coffee Engagement

Our services address different aspects of working with Thailand's specialty coffee sector. Many roasters begin with sourcing services and expand into producer relationship management as their Thai program develops, while market entry consulting serves coffee businesses considering Thailand as a base for Southeast Asian operations.

Each service stands alone, but they also work together to support comprehensive Thai coffee engagement for roasters and coffee businesses at various stages of development.

Which Service Fits Your Situation?

Choose Coffee Sourcing if you:

  • Are exploring Thai coffees for the first time and need access to quality producers
  • Want detailed documentation and transparency about farm practices and processing
  • Prefer to manage producer relationships yourself with sourcing facilitation only

Choose Relationship Management if you:

  • Have established Thai producer relationships but struggle to maintain them from distance
  • Want year-round engagement with your producers including farm visits and updates
  • Need someone to communicate quality feedback and coordinate logistics on the ground

Choose Market Entry Consulting if you:

  • Plan to open a café, roastery, or distribution business in Thailand
  • Need guidance on regulatory requirements, site selection, and market dynamics

Not sure which service fits your needs? Many roasters begin with a conversation to clarify their goals before deciding on a service approach. We're happy to discuss your situation and help determine which service or combination of services makes sense for your Thai coffee objectives.

What All Our Services Share

Regardless of which service you choose, certain elements remain consistent across our approach to supporting roasters and coffee businesses.

Local Presence & Knowledge

We live and work in Chiang Mai's coffee community, providing ground-level understanding of producers, processing practices, and market dynamics that remote coordination cannot match.

Transparent Communication

We provide honest assessment of coffee quality, realistic timelines, and clear information about challenges when they arise rather than optimistic promises that can't be delivered.

Quality Standards

Professional coffee quality assessment using CQI protocols, with detailed documentation that supports your program's quality positioning and customer communication needs.

Relationship Focus

We prioritize building sustainable partnerships over maximizing transaction volume, working toward outcomes that benefit both roasters and producers over time.
