Dry Natural Process "Three Khuns" Myanmar - Stonecutter Series

Our Stonecutter Coffee is a rotating highlight coffee series - a tribute to the rich history of Deer Isle's granite quarrying industry that peaked in the early 1900s. These beans are selected for their "je ne sais quoi" and often come to us from unique coffee producing regions of the world and embrace inventive processing methods. Limited amounts available, changing frequently, and now packaged in our one of a kind Stonecutter 10 oz. coffee tubes!

These tubes are a new package adventure for us. Designed and hand drawn by Deer Isle local Farrell Ruppert, they feature the slabs of granite quarried out of Stonington. Made of 100% FSC certified paper, soy ink, with gold foiled accents and a sticker of the current origin inside. For every tube made, a portion of profits are donated to One Tree Planted.

We are excited to be partnering with Pink Headed Duck Coffee again — a New Orleans-based coffee importer focused on creating a direct link between Myanmar’s specialty coffee growers and US buyers. Myanmar is fast catching up with the quality offered by other coffee powerhouses around the world. We want to help spread awareness of this newer coffee growing region of the world and the unique coffees they are producing. We had this coffee last year and people still ask for it. It is knock your socks off in tropical fruitiness!

This coffee is dry processed which means that the cherries are sun-dried rather than fermented or any other process that leaves the fruit on the seed without hulling. This process does not produce wastewater nor require significant water resources. After cherry collection for Three Khuns, ie "Three Misters", they are immediately brought to village/co-op drying stations where they are screened and handpicked to 95% and above cherry ripeness level before being placed on raised beds. Here they are sun-dried for 13-17 days before hulling and further processing, with all lots separated by day and all members’ deliveries fully traceable.

We've selected this month’s coffee because of the unique budding coffee producing region of the world, inventive processing method AND for its out of this world flavor. Be prepared to say wow! This coffee is so special.

We highly suggest drinking this coffee black, without the addition of anything else.
