KYAUK KU PYIN #2755

Tastes Like: Ginger, Pineapple, Grape Compote

Why I’m Obsessed: If you love ginger candy, this is the coffee for you. I haven’t had a cup this unapologetically sweet and syrupy in a long time! First sip is straight crystallized ginger, with a fruity, toasted-sugar note like grilled pineapple. The body is lush and syrupy, exactly what a natural should be, and super-duper clean. As it cools, the flavor shifts into juicy, floral-toned grape with a slightly malted finish that reminds me of breakfast cereal marshmallows, all wrapped in a lingering panela/maple syrup sweetness. Even the folks who never drink coffee black will want this one black. You won’t believe there’s no actual sugar in it.

Grown by over 400 Danu families in the Kyauk Ku Pyin community, this microlot is a true unicorn: extraordinary in both quality and traceability for a region still making its mark in specialty coffee. High-quality coffees from Myanmar are rare, and the best examples taste like a cross between a fruity Ethiopian natural and a spicy Sumatran (wow, did someone say Mocha Java??). And Greater Goods brings just the right amount of roast to highlight all that fruit and depth without losing clarity. It’s rich, sparkling, and captivating and, in my opinion, absolutely impossible to pass up. Grab a bag of this limited-edition, gingery confection while it’s still here!

Bottom Line: You’ll love this one if you love ginger candy, breakfast cereal marshmallows, or enjoy everything just a little sweeter.

The farmers in Kyauk Ku Pyin are redefining what’s possible for coffee in Southeast Asia. This 100% Catuai variety is processed naturally—a sustainable approach that not only highlights the coffee’s unique flavors but also aligns with the region’s need to conserve water outside the rainy season. The result is extraordinary: a coffee offering sweetness, delicate floral notes, and an expressive complexity that lingers long after the last sip.
