I’m in the Coffee Trading Game in Thailand

One of my most popular blog posts is about starting a cafe business in Bangkok, Thailand. Where I shared my knowledge and experiences about running a coffee business as a foreigner.

That blog post was written almost 10 years ago. I update it once in a while with some new information about selling coffee drinks to the masses in Bangkok.

I don’t have a cafe anymore. But if the timing and situation are right, I wouldn’t mind getting behind the espresso machine again.

I miss cranking out a well-pulled espresso shot.

That said, I’ve always followed the coffee industry in Thailand. Particularly exporting coffee beans from Thailand.

Well, to be a coffee trader in Thailand to be exact.

Thai Coffee Growers in Thailand

Most people know about coffee from Africa and South America. Well, at least North Americans and Europeans do. And coffee can only be grown in certain regions and climates.

But coffee beans from SE and Pacific Asia nations are getting noticed. Mostly because the world loves coffee and can’t get enough of it.

And, I’m going to do my part to show that Thailand has some amazing coffee by becoming a coffee trader.

An Exciting New Business Venture

So this is new and exciting in my life. Recently I started making connections with Thai farmers in Chiang Mai, the northern region of Thailand. As well as Myanmar.

And I’ll be working with them as a coffee trader.

I gotta admit to that this is a truly exciting venture to get into.

The goal at first is to try and connect the farmers with buyers mainly in the USA. Eventually, if everything goes well I would package my brand of roasted coffee beans.

That’s the goal!
