What to Expect
This Myanmar coffee from Padah Lin offers a gentle, approachable cup with pear and satsuma sweetness and a warming cinnamon note. Grown by Danu and Pa-O hill-tribe smallholders in the remote mountains of Ywangan, it's washed-process Red Catuai that delivers balance without fuss.
The Cup
The body is medium and smooth, with a soft, rounded mouthfeel that sits comfortably between tea-like delicacy and fuller-bodied comfort. Acidity is moderate and gentle — present enough to keep things lively, but never sharp or challenging. This is a clean, straightforward coffee with no funk or ferment character. The washed process keeps everything clear and origin-forward, letting the pear and citrus sweetness come through without distraction.
Who This Is For
This suits drinkers who want something interesting but not demanding — a coffee that's easy to dial in and pleasant to drink daily. If you're chasing high-acidity fruit bombs or experimental processing, this won't scratch that itch.
Best for: Filter drinkers and flat white fans who prefer balance and approachability over intensity.
How to Brew This Coffee
The omni roast makes this flexible across methods. Try it on V60 to highlight the pear and satsuma clarity, or use a Filter method for an easy, repeatable daily brew. It also works well as Espresso — the medium body and balanced acidity make it forgiving on the machine and lovely in milk.

Filter
Coffees curated for batch and pour-over filter brewing, assessed individually for the qualities this gentle, even extraction brings out. These are beans with the transparency and layered flavour that filter is loved for, chosen for their brightness and balance to deliver a clean, easy-drinking pot every time. For technique and ratios, read how to brew filter coffee.

Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
