Get to know this coffee in detail

The Lady Carbonic is the result of the commitment behind The Lady Specialty Coffee in Myanmar, a project led by Su Nandar Linn and Thi Ha Gyawalie that empowers over 400 women coffee producers in Ywangan.

Their mission is to improve the livelihoods of female farmers through exceptional and sustainable coffees.

This Red Catuai undergoes a carbonic maceration process that combines both dry and wet fermentation.

First, the cherries are sealed in tanks to increase sugar levels and enhance sweetness.

They are then submerged in water until the optimal pH is reached, before being slowly dried on raised beds.

The result is a complex cup with notes of pomegranate, tamarind, and honey, a reflection of the passion and dedication of these women producers.

The Lady Carbonic: a specialty coffee with a woman's name

Specialty coffee is about much more than just flavour. Behind every cup, there can be a story of social transformation, empowerment, and sustainability. This is exactly the case with The Lady Carbonic, an exceptional coffee grown in the hills of Shan State, western Myanmar, and brought to life through the dedication of more than 400 women coffee farmers.

A pioneering initiative in Myanmar

The Lady Specialty Coffee was founded in 2017 by Su Nandar Linn and Thi Ha Gyawalie, two leading figures in Myanmar’s growing specialty coffee scene. Their mission is simple and powerful: to empower women from the Pa-O and Danu ethnic groups in the Ywangan region, southern Shan, by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to thrive as coffee producers.

What began with just 51 women in the village of Nwar Ban Gyi has grown into a network of over 400 female farmers across seven villages. Through this project, these women not only gain access to training and support throughout the coffee production process, but also benefit from fair working conditions and financial incentives, including:

  • Prices well above market rate for their coffee cherries
  • 20% profit sharing after final sales
  • Free seeds for new farmers and expansion areas
  • Training for small-scale producers in emerging regions

Both Su Nandar and Thi Ha come from coffee-producing families. Su Nandar Linn, a certified Q Grader and Q Processor, continues a family tradition that dates back to the 1970s, when her father played a key role in developing Myanmar’s coffee industry. Thi Ha, also a certified Q Grader, manages Ruby Hills, his family’s estate in Mogok, and sits on the board of the Myanmar Coffee Association.

A coffee with soul

The Lady Carbonic has it all: an inspiring story, real impact, and an extraordinary flavour profile.

Grown by small-scale farmers at 1,350 metres above sea level, this Red Catuai lot is processed using an innovative natural carbonic maceration method. The cherries are hand-picked by 51 women from Nwar Ban Gyi, floated to remove underripe or defective fruit, then fermented for 48 to 72 hours in airtight 25-litre buckets. This process encourages the development of distinct and complex flavours.

After fermentation, the coffee is dried slowly on raised beds for 20 to 24 days, allowing the beans to mature and stabilise naturally.

In the cup, The Lady Carbonic delivers a juicy and fruit-forward profile, with notes of pomegranate, tamarind, and honey, a cocoa base, and a lingering maple syrup finish. It has a silky body, wine-like acidity, and a long, elegant aftertaste.

Myanmar and its journey into specialty coffee

Coffee has been cultivated in Myanmar since the late 1800s, introduced during British colonial rule. However, it wasn’t until 2011—following key political reforms—that coffee production began to receive attention as a sustainable agricultural alternative, particularly as part of the country’s opium eradication programmes.

Since 2015, with support from organisations like USAID and CQI, Myanmar has started to make a name for itself in the specialty coffee world. Its first specialty exports reached the USA in 2016, and the UK in 2017.

Today, coffees like The Lady Carbonic demonstrate not only the potential of Myanmar as a producing country, but also the transformative power of coffee in building fairer, more sustainable futures.

Filter

The recipe below is a guideline to follow at home. Results will always vary depending on your own equipment, setup and all the variables that can affect coffee extraction.

Every coffee we roast one of our team will experiment to come up with something we like to drink, below details all the information you need to recreate the recipe, however we always recommend tasting and experimenting to find out what you like, use the following as a guideline and adapt.

It’s the journey not the destination.

Some key things to note: Water is the most important precursor to having a tasty cup of coffee, depending on where you live water composition can vary wildly and for this reason we recommend using filtered water at a minimum, a mixture of Bezoya and Lanjarón water is a better option. When you change any part of the recipe, always change one thing at a time so you know the influence it had on flavour.

Normally we will start by adapting the ratio to our liking first and once we have a brew with a pleasant strength and mouthfeel we can look at the other aspects of the extraction to altar.

Most percolation coffee filter coffees thrive with a ratio between 1:15 and 1:17. Brewed between 2:30 and 4:30.

Kalita/Origami/Orea

We’ve chosen this method to express our recipes as its forgiving and easily transferable to other percolation recipes, the flat bottom and crimped sides of the Kalita papers give a large surface area that prevents any major stalling of the flow due to fines migration & clogging.

Kalita/Origami/Orea

Recipe:

  • Ratio: 1:17
  • Coffee: 20gr
  • Water: 340ml/gr
  • Total time: 3:20-4 min
  • Temperature: 98ºC
  • Grinder setting: 21 'clicks' Comandante
  • Measured TDS and extraction yield (EY) of the tested recipe 21.7%

Variables:

  • Coffee resting time minimum of 1-2 days peaks after 1-2 weeks
  • Water used: Bezoya 1:2 Lanjarón
  • Paper filter: Kalita 185

Equipment:

Kalita/Origami, Kalita filter, Scales, timer, grinder, mug or decanter, kettle preferably gooseneck.

Method:

  1. Heat the water in the kettle and when hot rinse the paper filter on the origami to remove any paper flavor and preheat the brewer.
  2. Grind the coffee to a good size medium course.
  3. Throw away the used water and replace the brewer and distribute the ground coffee in a level bed in the filter, some like to poke a little divit in the top as to aid saturating all the coffee, tare the scales.
  4. Start the stopwatch as you start pouring 60g/ml of water slowly and gently in a circular motion and wait 30-40 seconds for the grounds to degas, being mindful to saturate the entire coffee bed. If the coffee was roasted recently you will notice the bed expanding and you may wish to leave to degas for longer.
  5. Pour the remaining water slowly until you reach 200-250ml/gr, ensure the water never comes above an inch from the top to avoid the water bypassing the coffee and reducing the extraction, pause to let it drain if it comes too high.
  6. Gently and carefully lift and swirl the brewer once to level the bed.
  7. Continue to slowly pour the remaining water and swirl the brewer once to give a good level drawdown.
  8. We are looking for the brew to finish in the time stipulated, adjust the grind size if necessary for the next time you brew.

Cold brew

Esta es la receta de café cold brew que te proponemos para que elabores 600ml de cold brew. El ratio, en caso de que quieras elaborar más o menos de esta cantidad, es 1:15, 1gr de café por cada 15gr/ml de agua.

Receta y equipamiento:

  • Café 40gr. (Usa el café que prefieras dependiendo de tus gustos. Nuestra sugerencia sería elegir perfiles de café que te gusten en elaboraciones de filtro). Si tiene el tag “Cold Brew” es de nuestros favoritos.
  • Molienda: Comandante 16 clics.
  • Agua 600gr/ml a temperatura ambiente.
  • Composición del agua: 2 partes de Lanjarón por 1 de Bezoya.
  • Una malla o seda.
  • Un recipiente de cristal (preferiblemente con tapa)
  • Dejar reposar 22 horas (en el frigorífico).

La forma de hacer el cold brew:

  • Molemos el café con una molienda media (Comandante 16 clics).
  • Echamos el café directamente en la malla.
  • Introducimos la malla en el recipiente de cristal.
  • Vertemos el agua en el recipiente a través de la malla con el café.
  • Removemos suavemente para saturar todo el café.
  • Tapamos el recipiente.
  • Lo dejamos reposar en el frigorífico (¡atención a los olores fuertes!).
  • Después de este tiempo de reposo, retiramos la malla con el café y estará listo.
  • Como paso extra, puedes volver a filtrarlo por un filtro de papel V60, Kalita o similar para obtener un resultado más limpio y cristalino.
  • Mantenlo refrigerado.
  • Esta receta es para no diluir. Ni siquiera con hielo. En caso de ponerle hielo la composición del agua del hielo afectará al sabor de tu bebida. Mejor hacer tu propio hielo con la misma composición de agua que proponemos. Si usas hielo, quizás quieras bajar el ratio (1:9 a 1:12).
