Abo-kor Coffee & Farm is nestled in Baan Sip Lang Akha.

The village’s name, “Sib Lang” (which translates to “Ten Houses”), originates from its humble beginnings when the settlement consisted of ten Akha hill tribe households.

In 1996, Arabica coffee was introduced to this Akha village as a primary cash crop. Today, the community boasts a rich coffee-growing heritage spanning over 30 years. This legacy has been passionately passed down through three generations, beginning with the grandfather, transitioning to the father, and now carried forward by the third-generation heir, who has expanded and modernized the family legacy into Abo-kor Coffee & Farm. Blessed with a cool climate all year round and an average temperature of 71°, the environment provides the perfect terroir for cultivating premium-quality Arabica coffee. Now much larger than just ten small houses, the conmunity grows many winter fruits creating biodiversity ithe farm, allowing a portion of the exceptional harvest to be dedicated to producing award-winning speciaty grade coffee.
