It's light, but rich and is the perfect sweetness for my various home cafe drinks. I'm so happy Lanna Coffee Co. is local and that I've found my favorite coffee beans here!

🍯 BLACK HONEY — SINGLE ORIGIN 🍯
A rich, radiant coffee grown in the mountains of Northern Thailand by first-generation coffee farmers.
Thailand Law Wu Black Honey
Tasting Notes: 🍇 Raspberry Compote | 🍦 Vanilla Bean | 🥐 Puff Pastry
Body: Medium & Smooth | Acidity: Bright & Lively | Process: Black Honey
Experience the incredible complexity and vibrancy of our Black Honey single origin coffee, sourced from the remote and luscious landscapes of Law Wu village in northern Thailand. At an altitude of 1,700 MASL, this coffee is grown using the Catimor varietal and processed using the honey method, resulting in a bright, smooth, fruit-forward cup.
This year’s harvest comes from five remote villages that once abandoned coffee due to market instability. Thanks to consistent partnerships, farmers like Liki and Teerapop have revived their crops and are building a sustainable future for their families and communities. With support from agricultural programs, they’ve shifted from intensive corn farming to growing specialty coffee under shaded canopies — intercropping with plums, peppers, and avocados.
The Black Honey process involves depulping the cherries and drying them with mucilage intact. This method preserves sweetness and depth, enhancing the coffee’s rich body and vivid acidity. The result is a lively cup with a crisp raspberry finish and layered notes of vanilla bean and buttery pastry.
What makes this coffee special: Liki and Teerapop’s pride is rooted in the soil — and in the legacy they’re cultivating. After two decades of coffee farming, they continue to experiment with new varietals, including grafting Geisha onto Catimor roots. Harvesting on steep slopes remains a challenge, but they find joy knowing their coffee has a home and purpose across the globe.
“Coffee works for us,” they shared. “With corn, we were working endlessly. Now, we have time, pride, and possibility.”
This is more than just a cup of coffee — it’s the story of revival, resilience, and relationship. Taste the history and hope of Law Wu in every sip.

Great local coffee. Brewed in aeropress. Delicious and well balanced.
Delicious and light
I was just trying it out because it sounded good and I love, honey, but it was too much of a light roast for me.
One of the best coffees I’ve had, would and have recommended !
Sour
Store owner replied: Thanks for the feedback, Ron. We’re sorry this one wasn’t a fit for your taste preferences. Black Honey is a honey process coffee with brighter acidity and fruit-forward characteristics, which can come across as sour to some palates. If you’d ever like help finding a coffee better suited to what you enjoy, we’re always happy to help.
This coffee is so delicious!
Smooth and sweet but not cloying. Though it’s a blonde roast it has definite heft to it. I wish I could order it ground though.
Store owner replied: Hi Lynne, Hi there, Thanks for the great feedback! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the smooth sweetness of our Black Honey — we love that it still delivers some body without being too heavy. And good news: we’re happy to grind your coffee for you! Just leave us a note at checkout with your preferred brew method, and we’ll take care of the rest. —Matt & the Lanna Coffee team

Still the best light roast I’ve had in a very long time!
Definitely my go to light roast that packs plenty of flavor.
