This coffee is grown at Tianhao Estate in Lan Chang, Yunnan, China at an elevation of 1,400 to 1,750 meters above sea level. The varieties are Catimor and Typica, processed using the anaerobic natural method where whole coffee cherries are sealed in oxygen-free tanks to enhance complexity. The coffee features funky, fermented notes characteristic of this processing method, with flavor notes of lemongrass, fruit cake, and cinnamon. It is roasted to a medium-light level, highlighting fruity brightness while preserving rich, spice-like undertones.
Ghostbird Coffee was founded by Thomas Ooi in Kuala Lumpur in 2015 with a mission to advance specialty coffee culture in Malaysia. Ooi built the roastery around a Giesen W6A drum roaster, roasting fresh daily and resting all beans for three days before dispatch to ensure peak flavor. The company serves as both a roaster and an educational hub, offering public cuppings and coffee appreciation classes that have earned it a reputation as a school of specialty coffee. Ghostbird is a founding partner of the Good Coffee Festival and has hosted the Malaysia AeroPress Championship since 2023. Single origin offerings and espresso blends are developed with an emphasis on responsible sourcing and transparency.
