Thailand is quickly becoming known as a source for quality Arabica Coffee. That was not always the case. Not long ago, a decent cup of coffee was hard to find. Instant coffee and a local version called “ancient coffee” were all that was available. Today, locally sourced, fresh roasted quality Arabica Coffee can be found just about anywhere. The “coffee explosion” was fueled in part by the discovery that the highlands of Northern Thailand provided the ideal climate, altitude and soil to produce premium quality Arabica Coffee. Asia Best Premium Coffee has been on the cutting edge of development and cultivation of coffee in Thailand for many years.
The credit goes to King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who reigned for 70 years from 1946 to 2016, making him the world’s longest-reigning monarch. The king worked tirelessly throughout his life for the benefit of the Thai people; He is greatly loved and honored by Thai people everywhere. King Bhumibol introduced Arabica Coffee to Thailand as a substitution crop for opium. The king’s foresight to help the people through coffee cultivation was truly visionary. Opium production has been eliminated in Thailand; crops like coffee, fruit, vegetables and flowers now provide income.
