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.

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
