About This Coffee

This coffee is from Ga Naing Yar Village in the Ywangan Region of Shan State, Myanmar, at 1,515 meters elevation. It is produced by the Shwe Taung Thu Co-op, with head farmer U Soe Lwin and Pa-O people as producers. The coffee is a Catuai variety processed using the natural method. Cherries are harvested early morning with only fully ripe cherries (95%+ ripeness) selected for drying on raised beds. Each lot is separated by day and slowly dried for 20-30 days to 12% moisture. The coffee features flavor notes of black cherry syrup, persimmon, and key lime pie. Roast intention is for both filter (light roast) and espresso.

Whiptail Coffee

Whiptail Coffee is the work of Bryan Warchol, a roaster with more than a decade of experience across drum and fluid bed machines of all sizes. Operating out of CoRo, a shared roasting facility in West Berkeley, Warchol roasts small batches profiled for consistency using Cropster software. Sourcing is deliberate and values driven, prioritizing partnerships with marginalized growers including female producers and indigenous communities. The coffees come from farms that use environmentally sustainable methods like shade growing and intercropping, sourced through transparent importers who share supply chain data. Whiptail runs on a tight weekly rhythm: roasting on Mondays, shipping on Tuesdays, keeping everything fresh and close to the process.
