From Mountains to Your Cup: The Pumuen Story
From Mountains to Your Cup: The Pumuen Story
The Legend
One of our founders is the descendent of Chief PuMuen of the Lahu hill tribes in the northern region of Thailand also known as the Golden Triangle. He and his father Chaikor, originally from the Chinese army, were called upon by His Majesty King Bhumibol of Thailand to replace this existing farming and trading of opium with coffee and tea. As a project of the Royal Project Foundation, its primary goal is to improve the quality of life of hill tribes and to preserve the land.
Based on this royal initiative, as celebrated and imprinted in the Thai 100 baht note, tea and coffee plants were supplied to the locals in the mountains of Doi Pu Muen, where current coffee and tea plantations were born.
Our Mission

Sourced from the breathtaking mountains of Northern Thailand, our products are cultivated sustainably at altitudes ranging from 1,250 to 1,500 meters above sea level, ensuring exceptional flavor and low caffeine content.

Our Heritage
Our story is deeply rooted in tradition. Our partner, John, is a proud descendant of Chief PuMuen of the Lahu hill tribes. His father, Chaikor, was called upon by His Majesty King Bhumibol of Thailand to lead a transformative initiative aimed at replacing opium farming with sustainable coffee and tea cultivation. This royal project not only improved the lives of local communities but also preserved the rich biodiversity of the region.
Sustainable Farming Practices
At Pumuen, we prioritize environmental stewardship. Our coffee grows naturally under the shade of trees, allowing it to flourish alongside indigenous plants without deforestation. This eco-friendly approach results in larger beans with a stronger natural flavor and contributes to a healthier ecosystem.
Handpicked Quality
Our coffee and tea are meticulously handpicked by local Lahu tribe members who ensure that only the ripest cherries and finest leaves are selected. This careful selection process guarantees the superior quality of our products, which are certified organic by USDA and EU standards. Our light roast coffee features vibrant floral and fruity notes, while our teas offer delightful floral flavors that refresh the palate.

A commitment to our community
We are committed to our responsibility to support the community and environment where our products.
As part of our stewardship 10% of all out sales will be donated to the local Lahu hill tribe community to help improve their livelihood and provide local children with support for their education.
We hope that this encourages the local hill tribes to preserve the land and environment and enables them to continue in their traditions and continue passing this knowledge down from generation to generation.
