At The Amara, coffee is far more than just a beverage to kickstart your day. For us, it represents a continuous journey – a relentless pursuit of research, refinement, and the elevation of standards. We believe this dedication shouldn't come at an exorbitant cost. That's why we're committed to offering exceptional coffee at a fair price, while striving to positively impact our local community and the burgeoning micro-roastery scene here in Cambodia.

### Rooted in Cambodia, Crafted with Care
Coffee culture is deeply ingrained in Cambodia, and it's rapidly evolving into a driving force for local agriculture, bringing benefits throughout the supply chain. Recognizing this, we've chosen to source the vast majority of our coffee beans from dedicated micro-roasters scattered around the Siem Reap area. These passionate artisans offer incredibly high-quality products daily, demonstrating an attention to detail often lost in larger-scale operations.

We collaborate closely with these roasters to develop our unique house blends. These blends aren't static; they will be refreshed frequently, creating a natural rotation in our offerings. This approach not only keeps things exciting for you but also ensures we distribute our support equitably among our roasting partners.

### Passion Meets Precision
The Amara's founder brings a deep-seated passion for specialty coffee, honed during a year and a half working in a roastery in Italy. This background informs every step of our coffee program. It makes the process of selecting varieties, co-creating blends with our roasters, and perfecting the extraction both easier, thanks to experience, and, ironically, much harder, due to our uncompromising standards.

Our menu caters to diverse tastes, featuring classic coffee variations served hot or cold, with or without milk. We also offer refreshing Cold Brew and meticulously prepared V60 pour-overs. Please don't hesitate to ask our knowledgeable staff about the blends of the month – they'll be delighted to describe the unique characteristics of what you're about to enjoy.

### Sustainability as Standard
**We firmly believe that sustainable choices shouldn't be premium privileges. At The Amara, every milk-based beverage can be prepared with one of our house-made plant-based milks at no extra charge. It's a small step towards making environmentally conscious options accessible to everyone.**


### The Heart of Our Coffee: The Manual Lever Machine
Now, for the centrepiece – something you likely noticed the moment you walked in: our beautiful manual lever espresso machine. This isn't just for show; it's key to unlocking the full potential of our carefully sourced beans.

Extraction is an art form here. Our skilled baristas heat the water to the ideal temperature for each specific blend. They then manually control the extraction pressure, adjusting it precisely based on the coffee's characteristics. But the control doesn't stop there. The water we use is carefully adjusted for pH and alkalinity, and the beans are ground fresh, with the grind size dialled in according to the unique qualities of the coffee being served.

This meticulous attention to every single detail – from bean origin to water chemistry to extraction dynamics – allows us to offer you a coffee experience of superior quality, often at a price lower than what you might be accustomed to.

There's only one thing left to do.

You just have to try it.

Our Coffee: More Than a Drink, A Pursuit of Perfection

### Why We're Crazy About Our Homemade Probiotic Drinks at The Amara

Hey everyone from **The Amara**! If you’ve popped into our little vegetarian and vegan spot here in Siem Reap, you know we’re all about fresh, flavourful food that makes you feel good. But today, we want to chat about something we’re truly bubbling with excitement over: our very own homemade probiotic drinks!

Seriously, these aren't your average fizzy drinks. We've rolled up our sleeves and dived headfirst into the amazing world of fermentation. Why? Because we believe in giving you something that’s not just incredibly tasty and refreshing, but also packed with all that good stuff for your gut.

Come on in, and you'll find a whole range of these beauties. Our **Ginger Ale**? It's kind of legendary – zesty, bright, and with a proper kick (and some secret local ingredients...). 
But that’s just the start! We're always brewing up different kinds of Kombucha, playing with various tea bases, and we even make our own Tepache (a super cool fermented pineapple drink from Mexico). Plus, there are always other unique probiotic concoctions making an appearance.

Just to give you a little peek behind the scenes, as we're writing this, we’ve got a lineup of bottles doing their fizzy magic in secondary fermentation. We’re talking:

- Our classic Ginger Ale (can’t get enough!)
- A rich Black Tea Kombucha
- A lovely, light Sencha Green Tea Kombucha
- A stunning Butterfly Pea Probiotic Drink (it’s as beautiful as it is good for you!)
- A zippy Lime Ginger Ale
- And a dreamy Mango Kombucha

### It's All About Goodness: Local, Healthy, and Fair

Making these drinks is a real passion for us. We've spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of fermentation so we can offer you something top-notch without it costing the earth. We love using ingredients from right here in our local area, transforming them into drinks that are healthy, seriously thirst-quenching, packed with flavour, and always fairly priced. For us, it’s about pouring our values – supporting local, amazing quality, and being kind to our planet – right into your glass.

### Always Something New to Try!

The best part about making these ourselves? There’s always something new and exciting bubbling away! We’re constantly whipping up fresh batches, meaning our menu of probiotic drinks changes from week to week. We also love to switch things up based on what’s in season, so you’re always getting the freshest taste of Cambodia. Every visit can be a little flavour adventure!

### Good Times Don't Always Need Alcohol

We’ve always felt that having a good time with friends and family doesn’t have to mean alcohol is involved. That’s why we put just as much love and care into our probiotic drinks as we do into our craft beer. They’re a fantastic choice for kids, older folks, anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol, or really, anyone who just fancies a delicious, refreshing treat that’s a bit special. Think of it as a "hug for your taste buds" without the hangover!

So, the next time you're at **The Amara**, please don't be shy – ask our team what probiotic creations we have on tap! We’d love for you to explore this world of incredible flavours and happy bubbles. We reckon your taste buds (and your tummy) will be glad you did!

Probiotic Drinks and Kombucha at The Amara Siem Reap

When you think of breakfast, porridge might conjure images of something simple, perhaps even plain. But at The Amara, we see oat porridge differently. It's not just a healthy start to the day; it's become our creative canvas, a humble ingredient through which we express our passion and reflect our deep love for Cambodia – one of the driving forces behind everything we do.

### The Enduring Goodness of Oats
Before we dive into the artistry, let's appreciate the foundation. Oat porridge is a powerhouse of nutrition, making it the perfect base for a wholesome breakfast. Oats are renowned for their heart-healthy benefits, largely thanks to beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre shown to help lower cholesterol levels. This same fibre also promotes healthy digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, preventing those mid-morning energy slumps. Plus, the complex carbohydrates in oats provide sustained energy release, fueling your body and mind effectively throughout the morning. It's simple, natural goodness.

### A Tribute to Local Flavours
For us, porridge is where health meets creativity and local love. Our porridge creations are designed as a tribute to the incredible fruits and ingredients Cambodia has to offer. We play with:

- **Vibrant Colours:** Think deep purples from dragon fruit, sunny yellows from mango, and lush greens from pandan.
- **Exciting Textures:** From the crunch of toasted coconut flakes or local nuts to the smoothness of house-made fruit compotes.
- **Intriguing Tastes:** We create combinations where sweet, tangy, and sometimes even subtly spiced flavours seem to challenge each other, vying playfully for your affection.
Each bowl is a reflection of the season and the beautiful produce available right here, near Siem Reap.

### Deliciously Healthy, Accessibly Priced
Just like with our coffee and plant-based milks, we believe that a healthy, delicious start to the day shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we've intentionally set a fair price for our porridge creations, often below the standard you might find elsewhere in the city. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a breakfast that's both incredibly satisfying and genuinely good for you. It’s part of our commitment to making mindful choices accessible.


Taste the Creativity
Our porridge is more than breakfast; it's an experience – a healthy, flavourful, and colourful expression of The Amara's spirit and Cambodia's bounty. We invite you to explore our current creations and find your favourite.
