Coffee has grown in Myanmar since the colonial era, but a specialty focus only emerged in the last decade, centered on the Shan highlands around Ywangan and the Mandalay region. Smallholders and cooperatives increasingly process washed and natural lots aimed at export markets rather than the local commodity trade. Cups tend toward gentle florals, citrus, and cocoa sweetness with a rounded body. Experimental honey and anaerobic lots are pushing the country's profile toward brighter, fruit-forward expressions.
