Billing itself as the world’s first completely philanthropic coffee roaster and cafe located at the source, Jhai buys its beans at fair-trade prices from the Jhai Coffee Farmer Cooperative and puts 100% of profits back into local water and hygiene projects and children's education needs. It's a surprising little oasis with perfect coffee (12,000K to 15,000K) in the centre of Paksong town.
