Jack is super passionate about sharing all his knowledge about coffee and the coffee camp. They did a terrific job managing the time, sharing information about the coffee plants in the jungle and other medicinal plants. The lunch was delicious!! And the coffee workshop terrific. Great instruction, information, timing so all got a chance to make their own. Was so pleasantly surprised by this tour!

Where coffee meets community and purpose.

sgmricardolopez, Aug 2025
Where coffee meets community and purpose. Jack and Jeff delivered one of the most inspiring and meaningful tours I’ve ever experienced. This was not just about coffee — it was about people, culture, and the environment. The tour took us deep into the heart of Thailand’s coffee culture, showing how organic coffee farming is helping to uplift tribal minority communities. Jack and Jeff explained how this work directly supports generational improvements in education and quality of life, creating opportunities that last far beyond a single harvest. We walked through rice fields, coffee plantations, and fruit orchards, even passing a few friendly cows and a peaceful creek. Planting a coffee tree with my own name and date was an unforgettable touch — a living connection to this land and its people. Meeting and interacting with tribal members gave the experience a deeply human dimension, reminding me how interconnected we all are. This tour isn’t just educational; it carries a powerful message about caring for the environment and helping one another in this shared home we call Earth. If you want to learn, connect, and make a positive impact while traveling, Jack and Jeff’s tour is an absolute must.

Incredible Experience

Emily_P, Nov 2024
This day trip was incredible. Not only did we get to roast and brew our own coffee, but we also got to go on a drive and hike through the the local town and jungle to learn more about the lives of the hill tribe. Our guide, Jack, was very knowledgeable on both coffee and the local area. We did not see a single other tourist throughout the entire experience which reinforced how authentic it was.

Incredible, best tour of my trip to Thailand!

Natasha_W, Feb 2024
Amazing experience. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. He and his wife, who run the company, went to great lengths to give us an incredible day. Picked us up at our hotel, drove us to a coffee farm where we met the organic coffee farmer. Then up to the mountaintop in a van, then on foot. Our guide and the farmer stopped many times to show is local plants and insects used for medicinal reasons by the tribes people. We then picked coffee beans, and planted one coffee plant with our name on it. After returning to the farm, we were given an educational presentation about the proper technique of routing and brewing coffee. We were shown how to roast the beans and got to roast our own beans. We were then given the beans to take home as a souvenir. Also, the lunch was amazing! Made by the farmer's mother. Overall, an exceptional experience, the best tour of my trip to Thailand!

Dreamlike coffee ride with nature experience

Kristina_H, Nov 2025
I can only recommend this tour, I would like to give 6 stars, so beautiful and great is the tour. Private, away from the crowds. You are max to 8 on the road and drive into the mountains. The guide Jack is very personable, speaks very good English and tells a lot of background knowledge. You can ask him anything. The tour continues in the mountains with a jeep into the jungle (+ local guide) and then a pleasant hike to see wild coffee cultivation. We dug in our own plant. Lunch was delicious (!) and the workshop afterwards and the coffee was mega. You roast beans yourself and you can take them with you. I would do this tour again! Do I have to in 5 years to see how my coffee plant has developed.;-) It's not a sales event and you can't buy anything, which is great.
