Producer/Curator:

Yar Sin

In 2022, Yashin set out with the goal of spreading Myanmar coffee globally and establishing it as a respected product, founding Biome Coffee. Originally aspiring to become a doctor, Yashin faced challenges due to limited income and the necessity of working under the military regime. Seeking the next step, he decided to enter the coffee industry, a field where he could make an international impact. Biome is composed of a small team of seven people, working to ensure that Myanmar coffee reaches the world. With its own farms and processing facilities in Pin Oo Lwin and Ywangan, Biome collaborates with 15 producer groups, providing them with the latest technology. The company offers producers essential equipment, such as hulling machines and drying beds, free of charge, while also sharing its expertise in cultivation and processing methods. Yashin encourages producers by saying, “We will find the market for you. In return, we ask you to try the cultivation and processing methods we recommend, as these will eventually benefit you.” Through this approach, strong partnerships have been established, allowing producers to produce high-quality coffee and secure stable incomes. Biome’s appeal lies in its meticulous work, resulting in clean cups, consistent quality, and a smooth texture. Additionally, its experimental lots are of exceptional quality, setting them apart from others. Biome continues to enhance the value of Myanmar coffee.Read More
