Chiang Mai’s ever-evolving coffee scene takes a new direction with Nimmanian Club (Nimmanhaemin Soi 13, 086-188-7779, www.fb.com/nimmanianclub).

 

One of the founders is a mixologist who applies cocktail techniques like torching and shaking in a range of mocktails featuring coffee. Must-tries include Nimmano, a cold Americano spruced up with herbs, and the Caramelo, a latte-style drink in which burnt caramel adds a touch of sweetness.

 

The dark-roasted beans here are sourced both locally and from Africa and Latin America, while the tea drinks are no less dramatic—try the Butterfly Effect, a mix of house-blended black tea and butterfly pea leaves tea.
