The Fields is known as the adventurous coffee in our range and a key part of our forward-thinking desire for quality and innovation. This coffee represents our standing as one of the pioneers in the London coffee scene with its title a nod to our London Fields neighbourhood.

The adventurous badge offers us the chance to explore new approaches to processing, sustainability and experiment with some of our favourite producers and exporting partners.

Emerging Asian coffees have a special place in the Climpson & Sons range with our roasting team working closely with our friends at Indochina Coffee to provide development feedback over a number of years. As their supply chain has grown we have seen the quality and traceability improve so dramatically that we are now able to offer unique microlots as The Fields. A huge step forward for a country that has been exporting specialty coffee for less than a decade.

Green Land estate lies on the road between Pyin Oo Lwin and Mogok, near the border of Mandalay Division and Northern Shan State. This is a family business led by U Sai Wan, who has childhood memories of seeing coffee farms along the road near Pyin Oo Lwin each time his parents took him from Yangon to visit family in Northern Shan.

U Sai Wan is a leading innovator in Myanmar’s specialty coffee industry, winning national quality competitions for his Green Land coffees. He also plays a key role in Myanmar Coffee Association, alongside his position as Sales Director at Mandalay Coffee Group. He operates the estate together with his uncle and aunt, along with two local agronomists and many local workers.

This unique lot is composed of SL-34, a variety more commonly found in Kenya, whilst the the lot name Khar Taw Hmi refers to the silver oak trees towering over the coffee plants. Processed as a natural, the resulting coffee is rich in dried fruit and sticky sweetness.
