Han Wang abandoned his degree after stumbling into a coffee roastery in Taiwan. He trained there, then brought a roaster and beans to Bangkok in 2011, launching Phil Coffee from a small Bangna shop with sisters Jaszmine and Iwuen. The name combines their initials and the Greek word for love.
Han placed 1st runner-up at the 2018 Thailand Roasting Championship. Weekly small-batch roasting produces house blend Urso, chocolatey and nutty, and filter blend Hummingbird from Brazilian and Ethiopian beans. Seasonal blends mix Chiang Rai lots with African or Brazilian origins.
