Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters

Overview

Pacamara was started in Chiang Mai in 2009 by Chartree Treelerkul — Thailand's first SCAA-certified Q-grader and the country's only Thai Lead Instructor with the Specialty Coffee Association — alongside his Peaberry Limited equipment-import business that brought Slayer, Synesso and Marco machines to Thailand. The roastery's house blend won the 2012 International Coffee Tasting Award in Italy and the brand grew from a Chiang Mai walking-street stand into a multi-city operation with a Bangkok flagship coffee lab in Thonglor.

Why it matters

Trained much of the Bangkok and Chiang Mai specialty barista corps — Pacamara's Q-grading lineage and equipment dealership made it the institutional backbone of Thai third-wave coffee.
