Thai Bulletproof Coffee – Phu Phan Coffee Benefits

Bulletproof coffee has been popular in the United States for a number of years. Made by mixing grass-fed butter or coconut oil with your morning cup of joe, bulletproof coffee is drunk by many people who are on the keto diet. Enthusiasts say that bulletproof coffee improves digestive health and blood sugar levels. It also is said to promote weight loss. However, there are some potential downsides, such as reduced overall nutrient intake and increased cholesterol levels.

So, if you are looking for an alternative to traditional bulletproof coffee, you have an excellent option when visiting Sakon Nakhon (Thailand), which is the home of Phu Phan Coffee, an instant coffee supplemented with 35 different health-promoting herbs and supplements. Named after the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakon Nakhon, where many of the herbs and ingredients are grown, Phu Phan Coffee is an OTOP Thai Coffee which is sold at various OTOP (One Tambon One Product) shops throughout Sakon Nakhon province.

Phu Phan Coffee, however, is not manufactured in Sakon Nakhon, and there are no coffee beans currently grown in the province. This bulletproof coffee was made from Arabica beans that likely were grown in Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai — the two most popular coffee growing regions in Thailand (which we have discussed in depth in our series of Thai Coffee Reviews). Phu Phan Coffee is manufactured in Phatum Thani province in central Thailand, and sold exclusively in Sakon Nakhon at a price of 250 baht for a box of 10 sachets.

Phu Phan Coffee has a rather distinctive flavor, which some people love or hate. Because it doesn’t have that much coffee in it (to make room for the 35 healthy supplements), we suggest mixing the sachet with a cup of ordinary black coffee and adding some extra hot water, or mixing the sachet with boiling water and then topping it off with a shot or double shot of espresso (our preferred method). This both improves the flavor and the immediate kick.

Drinking Phu Phan Coffee has many healthy benefits. It is an excellent morning drink if you are trying to get over a cold in Thailand (read our post on the best Thai cough medicine). Other benefits include better management of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and good cholesterol levels, as well as improved brain function, circulation, and virility. Listed below are all 35 of the supplements included in this Thai bulletproof coffee, and some of their associated benefits (the other 4 ingredients of this 39 in 1 instant coffee are Arabica coffee beans, non-dairy creamer, and sweeteners).
