Three roasts

One origin, three ways to taste it

All three come from the same Akha-grown beans. The roast decides how much of the fruit and how much of the cocoa you taste.

Medium roast · 250 g

Balanced and bright

  • Dates
  • Baking spice
  • Dried stone fruit
  • Cocoa
  • Almond

The lightest of the three keeps the natural sweetness and floral lift of the highland bean. A good first bag, and the best choice for pour-over and filter.

Rich and velvety

  • Cinnamon
  • Cedar
  • Tobacco
  • Stone-fruit leather

More body and more depth, still smooth at the finish. Made for espresso, moka pots and anyone who likes their coffee strong with a little milk.

Intense and full-bodied

  • Bold
  • Grounding
  • Deep finish

Strong, steady and unapologetic, like the honest conversations this coffee exists to make room for. Excellent in a French press or over ice.

Origin

Where the beans grow

Mosaic Brew is grown in the misty highlands of Northern Thailand by Akha farming families who have worked this land for generations. The coffee grows under a shade canopy, the way it has for decades, which protects the soil, slows the ripening of the cherries and gives the cup its sweetness.

We work directly with these communities, so the path from tree to bag is short and easy to trace. Each cherry is picked by hand, washed and sun-dried where it was grown, then brought down the mountain to be roasted fresh in Chiang Mai.

Brewed for change

Coffee that makes room for harder conversations

Proceeds from Mosaic Brew fund awareness campaigns, safe spaces and community-led education that help remove the stigma around mental health across Asia.

The need is real. The World Health Organization estimates that 727,000 people died by suicide in 2021, and that 73 percent of those deaths happened in low- and middle-income countries, where support is often hardest to find. Silence costs lives. A conversation, started early, can save one.

A cup of coffee is a small thing. Shared with someone, it is often where that conversation begins.

In Thailand, the Department of Mental Health hotline, 1323, is free and open 24 hours a day.

Why the name

Many pieces, one cup

A mosaic is made of different pieces that only make sense together. Farmers, roasters, baristas and the people who drink the coffee are all part of the same picture.
