Our Story


From British Heritage to the Thai Highlands: A Journey of Discovery

At MIN-TE, a brand proudly owned by TONKLEY INNOVATIONS LTD in the United Kingdom, we believe that the search for the perfect cup of coffee knows no borders. Our story is one of exploration, connecting the rigorous standards of British quality with the untouched, natural beauty of Southeast Asia.

The Unexpected Discovery

While the world often looks to South America or Africa for coffee, we took a different path. Our quest for a truly unique, organic flavor profile led us to the misty, mountainous regions of Northern Thailand.

Here, hidden among ancient forests and nourished by natural mountain springs, we discovered a “hidden gem” of the coffee world: Thai Arabica. We found that the unique terroir—cool climates and fertile soil—produces beans with a distinct, complex character that rivals the best in the world, yet remains delightfully undiscovered by many.

Pure, Organic, and Uncompromised

We don’t just source coffee; we curate an experience. We partner directly with local Thai farmers who have shunned industrial chemicals in favor of traditional, organic farming methods.

  • 100% Organic: Grown without pesticides, ensuring that what you drink is pure and healthy.
  • Hand-Selected: Only the ripest cherries are picked by hand.
  • Artisanal Process: Sun-dried and processed using mountain spring water to preserve the bean’s natural sweetness.

Roasted Fresh, Delivered Globally

MIN-TE was born in the UK, but our vision is global. We understand that freshness is the heartbeat of great coffee. That’s why we have established strategic warehousing and logistics hubs in both Thailand and China.

This dual-hub strategy allows us to roast our beans to perfection and dispatch them immediately. Whether you are in London, Singapore, New York, or Tokyo, MIN-TE ensures that the time between roasting and your first sip is minimized.

Our Promise

MIN-TE is our love letter to coffee lovers worldwide. We promise transparency, ethical sourcing, and a commitment to quality that you can taste in every drop.
