Three Khuns Anaerobic Lot is a distinctive coffee from Indigo Mountain in Hopong, Myanmar. Grown at elevations ranging from 1,158 to 1,737 meters, this coffee is a blend of Catuai and Caturra varieties processed through an anaerobic natural method.
The Three Khuns producer consortium, founded in 2020 by Khun Kyaw Min Htike, Khun Tun Lin, and Khun Kyaw Thein, unites 14 members from the Pa-O ethnic group. Together, they source cherries from small farms in the Hopong, Pin Laung, Taunggyi, Hse Hsaing, and Loilem townships within the Pa-O Self-Administered Zone. After initial drying, the cherries are placed in food-grade plastic tanks for 2-5 days at temperatures between 15-25°C. Their team closely observes temperature, humidity, and aromas, transferring the cherries back to drying beds once they reach a rich red wine scent. The final result is a complex, slow-dried coffee, processed to a stable ~11% moisture content.
Hopong, the cultural heart of the Pa-O region, sits in a mountain valley at 1,079 meters and holds centuries-old traditions of Buddhism and community resilience. The Pa-O people are known for their vibrant clothing and unique turban styles, honoring an origin story tied to their mythical Dragon Mother.
