Over three decades of growing, sourcing, and sharing Thailand’s finest highland coffee.
Hillkoff was founded in Chiang Mai in 1988 with a simple belief: that Thai Arabica, grown at altitude in rich volcanic soil, could rival any coffee in the world. What began as a single co-operative partnership has grown into a network spanning twelve growing regions across Northern Thailand.
Hillkoff is established with a single co-operative partnership in Doi Suthep, built on the belief that Thai highland Arabica could rival the world’s best.
Hillkoff ships its first international order to a specialty importer in Tokyo — placing Thai Arabica on the world map.
In-house roasting begins, giving us full control over development, freshness, and consistency from green bean to final bag.
Partner farms achieve Rainforest Alliance certification — formalising environmental commitments held since day one.
Our experimental specialty range — fermented, anaerobic, and natural-process lots — pushes the boundaries of Thai Arabica.
Hillkoff now partners with over 1,200 farming families across Northern Thailand, spanning twelve growing regions and three decades of relationships.
