Myanmar Taw Natural
Green Land Estate is located on the road between Pyin Oo Lwin and Mogok, near the border of Mandalay Division and Northern Shan State. It is a family business led by U Sai Wan, who recalls seeing coffee farms along the road near Pyin Oo Lwin during trips from Yangon to visit family in Northern Shan. Today, he manages one of the largest arabica plantations in the country (about 450 acres) and has won awards in several editions of Myanmar's national quality competitions.
U Sai Wan is the Sales Director of Mandalay Coffee Group, one of the primary leaders of the Myanmar Coffee Association and a prominent innovator in the national industry. He operates the estate together with his uncle, aunt, two local agronomists, and numerous local workers.
Most of the coffee grown at Green Land Estate is Costa Rica, a type of Catimor, with SL34 making up about 10% of the production. U Sai Wan is also experimenting with new varieties such as Yellow Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, and Geisha.
