A women-led project born in the hills of Shan
In the lush heart of Myanmar, nestled among the mountains of Ywangan, a remarkable initiative was born in 2017: The Lady Specialty Coffee. It was founded by Su Nandar Linn and Thi Ha Gyawalie, two leading female figures in Myanmar’s specialty coffee scene.
Their vision? To give voice and value to the work of female coffee growers by equipping them with the tools to grow, improve, and thrive.
From the very beginning, the project has stood out for its tangible commitment: all coffees under the The Lady label are cultivated exclusively by women from the Pa-O and Danu ethnic communities.
What began as a collaboration with 51 producers from the village of Nwar Ban Gyi quickly evolved into a strong and passionate network, now involving over 400 women across seven villages in the region: Nwar Ban Gyi, Taung Khaung Pwar, Pway Na Phar, Myaing, Myin Dwin, Myin Kya Doe, and Ga Zat.

In the cup: A surprisingly juicy and bright coffee, opening with fresh and delicate notes of pomegranate, followed by an explosion of vibrant citrus acidity reminiscent of pomelo (similar to grapefruit). On the palate, it is round and lively, with a silky texture that enhances its drinkability. The finish is sweet and persistent, leaving a honeyed aftertaste that gently lingers long after the last sip.
