It started with one shot,
on an ordinary morning.
2015 — in a small home kitchen in Chiang Rai, CiNO's founder roasted a first batch on a one-kilo roaster to answer a single question: how do you make a morning coffee good enough to start the day smiling?
Ten years on, that kitchen roaster has become a roastery in Chiang Rai shipping across the country — with the same core: 100% arabica from Doi Chang, roasted in small batches, no added flavour, no added colour.
Good coffee isn't only a drink — it's a small ritual that ties the grower, the roaster and the drinker together.
A decade, one mountain.
Doi Chang, 1,200 m up.
Doi Chang, Chiang Rai, sits between 1,000 and 1,800 metres above sea level: cool year round, thick morning fog, hard afternoon sun — conditions that ripen the cherry slowly and concentrate its aroma and flavour.
We work with 12 farmers in the area. Every lot is wet processed for a clean, bright cup that keeps the bean's true character.
Four non-negotiables.
Small batch always.
Roasted 5–8 kilos at a time — never rushed, never cut, never a lot we wouldn't drink ourselves.
Nothing added.
No colouring, no flavouring, no preservatives. What's in the bag is what grew on the mountain.
Direct trade.
Bought direct from farmers at a fair price, traceable lot by lot.
Roasted to order.
Shipped within 7 days of roasting — it still tastes like the day it left the drum.
By hand.
Every lot is roasted by hand by roasters who have been with CiNO since year one.
Less, better.
