What are some popular local coffee blends to try when visiting Chiang Mai?

You should definitely try the Lanna blend, which combines beans from local mountainous regions, giving it a rich and chocolatey flavor.

• Another favourite is the honey-processed coffee, known for its sweet, fruity notes that many local roasters are proud to serve.

• Exploring cafes that offer single-origin brews is also a great idea, as these will showcase the unique flavors of beans sourced from specific local farms.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues.
