The Canadian family-owned Doi Chaang Coffee Company produces high quality specialty coffee in a socially responsible way. Half of the company is owned by the farmers, the Akha Hill Tribe, who grow the beans in Northern Thailand. This partnership is why we call our coffee "Beyond Fair Trade®." Doi Chaang Coffee is rated among the top 1% in the world, the coffee is the only single-estate, 100% Arabica, USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade Certified and shade grown coffee grown in Thailand. The beans are cultivated and processed in small, family-owned gardens in Doi Chang Village located in the Chang Rai Province of Northern Thailand, but freshly roasted and packaged in Vancouver, Canada.BEYOND FAIR TRADE® is an investment strategy to ensure the sustainability and prosperity of Doi Chaang Coffee for the benefit of everyone involved in this enterprise. By paying more than just a "fair price" for the coffee we are investing in the welfare of the farming families, thereby enhancing their standard of living, education, health care, cultural heritage and identity. This distinctive coffee partnership is internationally renowned and has won awards and recognition as a role model for its economic viability and social responsible business practices.
