About Thailand Coffee

Arabica beans are commonly grown in the Chiang Mai province in northern Thailand, and Robusta is grown in southern parts of Thailand. Thailand has grown coffee for a little over a century, but didn’t become an exporter until 1976 when the country started exporting Robusta beans. The country has since expanded and Arabica has become more common and popular among coffee drinkers, so now more Arabica is exported from Thailand.
