Single-origin, specialty coffee company that directly sources coffee from our farmers in N. Thailand at a Farmer Satisfied Price.
Kao Jai Coffee is a specialty, single-origin coffee from the mountains of Northern Thailand. Our unique, specialty coffee beans have been carefully grown, harvested, and processed in the Chiang Rai province near the Myanmar/Laos border. Our story began in late 2013 when two co-founders were teaching at a boarding school in the city of Chiang Rai and were given the opportunity to harvest coffee side-by-side with our farmers. Being able to see the community, work with the farmers, and understand the process inspired the founders to find a way to better connect the consumer (you) and the producer (our farmers).
To Kao Jai, a phrase in Thai meaning “to understand,” someone or something means that you are completely knowledgeable and sympathetic of other’s unique stories. When you experience something first hand, it opens your eyes and heart to not only knowing others, but understanding them. Kao Jai Coffee was founded to create different opportunities for people to transition from knowing to understanding.
Regardless if it is the shirt on your back or your closest friend, being able to experience their stories first hand can transform the way you see someone or something. Many people do not get this opportunity to experience these stories first hand for a variety of reasons: time, money, or even fear. The staff at Kao Jai Coffee understands that sometimes all you need is a helping hand to try something new, something unique, or even something life-changing.
Kao Jai Coffee’s mission is to help people better understand others and the products we consume. We are so committed to this that we created the Kao Jai Fund, which uses a percentage of every purchase of coffee to give financial help to people who want to directly impact communities across the country by serving others. We believe that being given the financial and emotional support to experience something first hand gives people a new perspective that money can’t buy.
Whether you are a coffee connoisseur or only drink coffee for the morning buzz, Kao Jai Coffee provides the opportunity for A Taste of Change in the lives of our farmers in Thailand and recipients serving others domestically.
Kao Jai Coffee is a specialty, single-origin coffee from the mountains of Northern Thailand that gives coffee drinkers a Taste of Change.
