Nan

Nan is known for its specialty coffees. From Geisha at Ban Maneepreuk to Bourbon and Cartier at Ban San Charoen and Arabica-Cartier at Bo Kleua District. A good cup of specialty coffee in Nan will sure make your morning evermore awesome. This is because it is likely that you will sip that coffee amidst the province’s spanning views and fresh ozone. Nan, a small Northern Thai province, is the place to enjoy locally grown specialty coffees. Many plantations also offer year-round farm-stay accommodation. Geisha beans, the one deemed to be most coveted, hence exorbitantly priced, can be found at Gem Forest Coffee Plantation (Doi Manipruek) that also features an old-school roaster and unadorned Hmong lifestyles. At Ban San Charoen, Bourbon and Cartier beans are among the highlights. Perched high at Bo Kleua district is the Arabica-Cartimor coffee plantation that – for the most part of the rainy and cooler months – is nicely covered with dreamy mist, making it an also perfect spot for camping.
