How is Coffee used in Thai cooking?

Coffee has deep roots in the Akha hills. Many highland villages grow Arabica on the cool mountain slopes, and what was once just a cash crop is now a real point of pride. We serve our own locally grown Akha coffee as a welcome drink - a small way to begin a class with something the community grows and harvests itself. It's smooth and mild, and a quiet reminder that these mountains produce far more than the herbs and chilies on the cutting board.
