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

Want to enjoy pure, high‑altitude mountain coffee from Northern Thailand? Choose Pumuen Coffee – Light Roast, organic Arabica grown at 1,250 meters above sea level in Doi Pumuen, under forest shade, in a mixed Catimor & Caturra plot, with naturally low caffeine and both EU & USDA organic certification.

This Pumuen Light Roast is grown slowly under cool, misty, shaded forest conditions, which give the beans a clean sweetness, balanced body and naturally lower caffeine level. The light roast level preserves the coffee’s origin character rather than roasty, smoky notes.

Taste note (flavor profile)

• Aroma: Bright, floral and slightly fruity, with a clean, tea‑like scent that reflects its wet‑processed (washed) preparation, free from heavy roast or fermentation notes.
• Flavour: Crisp citrus, juicy stone fruit and gentle honey sweetness, with a clean, almost‑red‑tea‑like finish that feels refreshing and flavour‑focused.
• Mouthfeel & acidity: Light to medium body with a soft but crisp acidity. The wet‑processed beans give a clean, bright cup with clarity and structure, ideal for people who like origin‑focused, fruity light roasts.

This light roast version is ideal for those who enjoy the natural taste of the beans, rather than heavy roast character, and is especially suited to hand‑brewed light roast styles such as pour‑over, AeroPress, drip coffee and ice‑brew.

Brewing method suggestions

• Pour‑over / AeroPress: Use a 1:15–1:17 coffee‑to‑water ratio, grind medium‑fine, and water between 90–94°C. This brings out the bright fruit, floral notes and clean acidity of the light roast.
• Drip coffee machine: Medium‑fine grind, standard water flow. This makes a balanced, approachable cup with mild acidity and a soft fruit sweetness, great for daily home use.
• Ice‑brew / cold‑brew: Medium‑fine grind, slow extraction, then dilute with ice or milk. This preserves the juicy fruit notes and cleans up the acidity, making a refreshing cold coffee for hot days.

If you prefer the convenience of ready‑portioned packs, Pumuen also offers Light Roast drip‑brew bags (12g × 6), perfect for travel, office use or quick home brews.

Why choose Pumuen Light Roast?

• High‑altitude, forest‑shade origin: Grown at 1,250 m in Doi Pumuen, where mist, cool temperatures and shade slow down the growth and build sweeter, more flavourful beans.
• Organic & low‑caffeine: Naturally low caffeine thanks to high‑altitude shade‑grown conditions, and certified organic by both EU and USDA, offering a cleaner, gentler coffee experience.
• Mixed Catimor & Caturra: A blend of these two arabica‑derived varieties combines solid body and cup complexity, giving a balanced yet interesting profile.
• Light roast, origin‑focused: Roasted just enough to reveal the coffee’s floral, fruity side while avoiding baker’s‑rye or burnt notes, letting the terroir shine through.
• Flexible for home brewers: Works well with pour‑over, drip, AeroPress, and ice‑brew, making it easy to experiment and find your favourite brew style.
• Great for everyday enjoyment: The bright, crisp character makes this a refreshing morning or mid‑day pick‑me‑up that is easy to drink multiple cups of without harshness.
