Thailand mainly produces Robusta coffee but Arabica coffee farming has been on the rise. According to FAO statistics for 2013, coffee production was 50,000 tons grown on 51,000 hectares. Yield was 980 kilograms per hectare, which placed it at 18th in the world rankings. More recently its total production has ranked about 25th but drops to 56th when assessing only Arabica coffee output.
We lack much first hand experience with Thai coffee that we can share. We have cupped samples over the years, mainly from Chiang Mai district in the north, and see improvements in quality of the arabica coffees. They are mild generally, featuring good body and moderate to low acidity.
