Pumuen Coffee – Espresso Roast 180g (Doi Pumuen, Northern Thailand)

Want to enjoy a smooth, low‑acid, organic espresso‑style coffee from the mountains of Northern Thailand? Choose Pumuen Coffee – Espresso Roast, a wet‑processed organic Arabica grown at 1,250 meters above sea level in Doi Pumuen, under forest shade, as a mixed Catimor & Caturra plot, EU & USDA organic certified, and naturally low in caffeine.

This Pumuen Espresso Roast is given a medium‑to‑dark roast that deepens the body, softens acidity, and brings out rich cocoa, toasted nuts and a hint of caramel, while keeping the cup clean and smooth thanks to the wet‑process. It’s designed for espresso‑style drinks, milk drinks and anyone who enjoys a bold but still gentle daily cup.

Taste note (flavor profile)

• Aroma: Deep cocoa, roasted nuts and a light caramel note, with a warm, inviting fragrance that feels rich without being scorched.
• Flavour: Dense cocoa, toasted nuts and a gentle brown‑sugar sweetness, with a soft, slightly nutty finish that feels comforting and rounded.
• Mouthfeel & acidity: Medium‑to‑full body with very low, soft acidity. The wet‑processed beans feel smooth, substantial and easy to drink, even in espresso or milk‑based drinks.

This espresso roast is ideal for making traditional espresso shots, milk drinks and other espresso‑style brews, bringing a satisfying chocolate‑nut character with a gentle, low‑acid finish.

Brewing method suggestions

• Espresso: Use a medium‑fine grind and a 1:2–1:2.5 brew ratio (for example, 18–20g ground coffee yielding 36–40g liquid around 25–30 seconds). This brings out the rich cocoa and nutty notes while keeping the shot balanced and clean.
• Lattes & flat whites: Pull a standard espresso shot and add warm milk or oat milk. The cocoa and nutty notes blend beautifully with dairy, creating a smooth, comforting drink.
• Moka pot or AeroPress “expresso‑style”: Medium‑fine grind, short extraction time, and high‑pressure style brewing to mimic espresso, producing a concentrated, creamy‑bodied coffee that can be enjoyed black or with a splash of milk.

This bean also works well in drip or French press, where it yields a thicker‑bodied, chocolate‑leaning cup that is still surprisingly smooth and approachable, perfect for people who like a bolder coffee with less fruitiness.
