Mogok is known to the Burmese as “The Ruby Mines,” and is called “The Valley of the Rubies.” It lies north in the Union of Burma about five hundred miles from Rangoon. It is situated between high jungle-covered hills. Mogok originally was called Thahapainpin, “Pomegranate,” for the fruit growing abundantly in these hills.

Coffee plantations in Mogok sit at around 1,200–1,600 m above sea level, offering a cool, “borderline subtropical highland” climate—ideal for high-quality Arabica cultivation. The region’s mineral-rich soil, combined with its clean air and high rainfall, contributes to distinctive flavor profiles.
