The producer U Win Aung Kyaw is known as The ‘Godfather’ of the industry and has been influential in setting up the region as a coffee producing area. In 1998, he bough land for a farm and started to process his own coffee. Pesticides are forbidden in this township, it’s residents produce in an organic style though it is not yet formally organic certified. Cherries are hand-picked and left in their sweet mucilage then sun-soaked on raised African drying beds.
