Although Laos has been producing coffee for over a century, a national effort towards increasing production and global recognition began only 20 odd years ago. An emerging origin for specialty coffee, Laos is proving its ability to produce coffees with distinct flavor profiles. This typica variety is balanced with a sweet, chewy body and clean, citric acidity.

Sourcing & Processing

One Origin, Two Expressions: Our First Coffees from Laos

Although Laos is relatively new to specialty coffee, its coffee-growing history dates back approximately 100 years, to when French colonists cultivated arabica, robusta, and liberia trees. The growth of the coffee industry seemed promising, but it essentially failed due to leaf rust and the start of World War I and II. When French colonists had left the region, Laotian subsistence farmers were left to tend to coffee trees with little knowledge of how to best grow and produce coffee. Any small amounts of coffee that were grown were inconsistent and likely sold to coffee buyers who would use them for commercial or instant coffee.
