Akha Ama Living Factory — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

The Living Station functions as the roastery and production facility for Akha Ama while also giving customers a taste of the experience being in the farms in the mountains. The entire site is flourishing with fruit trees and vegetables. The building itself is made of repurposed artisanal brick. Even the pattern on their impressive bar that is seen when first entering.

Owner and founder Lee gave us a tour of the place. From top to bottom the Living Station is built with consciousness to environmental impact. Their vintage roaster even has a step process that converts the air pollutants made when roasting into into oxygen and ozone (O3). That’s right it actually helps the environment!

Simply love all of the details and the example they are setting for the coffee and agricultural industry.

When visiting be sure to try some of their various coffee from the drip bar. They have truly unique coffee processes and natural flavor profiles. Each bag of coffee proudly highlights the farmer that produced it!

Also highly recommend their signature Mani Mana. An orange and honey shakaratto made with coffee honey from Maejantai. Lee said they experimented with other honeys but nothing blends as well as this coffee honey from where the coffee comes from. How...

Great place to stop by for coffee if you are going to "Mae Rim" (Mon Jam, Queen's Botanic, Elephant's Camp).

For espresso based, you can pick medium or dark roast but there are quite a few beans (peaberry / different origin / process) for you to choose from if you go for filter coffee. They use beans from their own farm to process and brew.

There are both indoor & outdoor seating with plenty of green for you to enjoy. If you are lucky then you might get to see the roasting process as well.

The cafe is self service / Plenty of parking / Free wifi is available.

Getting there simply follow google map. The...

After visiting their in town branch so many times, here it was a good chance to peep at their factory as my flight arrived early in the morning.

Nothing better than sipping good coffee in the garden under the warm sunlight (actually, it was hot at that time) and soothing pure oxygen.

Have been disappointed to try their signature coffee "Manee Meena" several times as the key ingredient, "Honey" was out of season. This time my long waiting was fulfilled.

It was black coffee blended with orange juice and seasonal honey, shaked well and served cold.

So refreshing and energize me for the rest of the day.

Even it is located a bit out of town, trust me it is...
