This coffee is a natural-processed single origin from Kyauk Ku Pyin, Myanmar, grown by the Danu community at 1356 meters elevation. The beans are Catuai variety and produce a cup with fruity notes of berry jam and pomegranate. A sweet finish is complemented by florality and a subtle hint of bitterness reminiscent of pomelo fruit.
Pair Cupworks is a specialty micro roastery in Mesa, Arizona, founded by Kimhak Em and Eugenia Tai. Kimhak brings over 30 years of food service experience and a culinary background; Eugenia combines structural engineering with commercial illustration and handles the brand's visual identity. They began roasting in 2017, initially selling beans online while working day jobs, and opened their first coffee bar in 2020. Food & Wine Magazine named them Best Coffee Roaster in the state in 2022. They roast in small batches with the goal of developing clean flavours that respect the work of farmers and producers.
