Lanna Coffee Co is a specialty coffee roaster established in 2015 with a mission rooted in service and social impact. Based in Fresno, California, the company sources its coffee from the highlands of Northern Thailand, where misty mornings, shade-grown practices, and community development come together. The company was founded on the principle of improving lives both in the communities they source from and among their customers.
Lanna Coffee Co has partnered with the Integrated Tribal Development Foundation (ITDF), an NGO committed to improving the lives of poor hill tribe communities in Northern Thailand. For over thirty years, ITDF has been working with these communities to provide training and equipment for stellar coffee production. Today, more than 40 villages participate in Thailand's first certified fair trade coffee cooperative, dramatically improving the lives of local residents.
The company proudly claims to be the largest buyer of Thai coffee in the United States. Their direct trade relationships support over 400 farmer-owned coffee farms in Northern Thailand, purchasing single-source, pesticide-free coffee beans directly from growers. This approach ensures quality while providing stable revenue sources for farming communities previously affected by political upheaval and poverty.
Lanna Coffee Co's product line includes signature blends such as Daybreak, Onyx, and Artisan, as well as single-origin coffees like Black Honey and Law Wu varieties. They also offer cold brew products, espresso blends, and brewing equipment. Their roasting philosophy emphasizes consistency and quality, using sophisticated roasting software to maintain specific profiles for each coffee variety.
The company's commitment extends beyond coffee sales to community impact. Every purchase directly contributes to economic development in Northern Thailand's hill tribes, supporting clean water initiatives, education, and sustainable agriculture. Their approach demonstrates how coffee commerce can create positive change in both local and international communities.
With a roastery located at 617 Broadway Street in Fresno, California, Lanna Coffee Co operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, serving both retail customers and wholesale partners including cafes, restaurants, and retailers throughout the United States and Canada.
