Ban Mae Kampong, located in Mae On district, Chiang Mai province, is a charming, over 100-year-old village that has become a popular destination for eco-tourism. The name "Mae Kampong" is derived from the Kampong tree, known for its vibrant yellow flowers, which grow abundantly throughout the village. The local community has preserved its Northern Thai culture, including the language, traditions, and way of life, with a strong focus on agriculture as their primary livelihood. One of its standout agricultural products is Arabica coffee, known for its distinctive oval-shaped beans that are medium to large in size, with a deep groove and an "S"-shaped curve. The coffee from Mae Kampong is renowned for its exceptional quality, boasting a rich flavor and a signature aroma, thanks to the ideal climate and the meticulous care in cultivation and harvesting. This has made Mae Kampong's coffee a well-known local product with a unique taste that reflects the high standards of the village's farmers. Visitors to Mae Kampong should not miss the opportunity to enjoy a cup of this locally grown coffee while taking in the beautiful natural surroundings.
Arabica in the Mist: Nestled at an altitude of over 1,300 meters above sea level, the Arabica coffee from Ban Mae Kampong is of exceptional quality, thanks to the cool climate and rich, fertile soil. The villagers cultivate and care for their coffee plants with their own hands, ensuring that every step—from planting and tending to harvesting, roasting, and grinding—is done with great care. This hands-on approach results in an aromatic coffee that boasts a distinctive, robust flavor with a natural sweetness, a hint of fruity acidity, and a mild bitterness, providing a refreshing lift with each sip.
