A Visit to Doi Chaang: Coffee and Culture in the Mountains

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #doichaang **A Visit to Doi Chaang: Coffee and Culture in the Mountains** Visiting Doi Chaang was an unforgettable experience, nestled in the serene highland village where some of the world's finest coffee beans are grown. The 100% Arabica beans, cultivated at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,600 meters, are known for their smooth, aromatic flavor—perfect for someone like me who enjoys the fragrance of coffee without the bitterness, acidity, or astringency. This remarkable coffee is the result of over 20 years of effort by the Akha and Lisu tribes, along with a small community of Chinese settlers, who transitioned from opium cultivation under the guidance of the Thai King and the United Nations. Sipping a fresh cup of coffee in the crisp mountain air, paired with a delicious lunch of traditional tribal dishes, was an absolute delight. The cool weather and rich cultural heritage made the visit even more special.
