Info
Laotian coffee was introduced to Laos during the colonial era, and the Bolaven Plateau accounts for the majority of the national production. This coffee comes from the district of Nhot Ou, just over the border from China and close to the headquarters of Torch coffee. It is a small holder aggregate from land located between 1,000 and 1,350 meters above sea level, a range that promotes slow ripening and good bean density. Production is based on small farmers organized into cooperatives and local projects. A mix of strains: Typica and Catimor (including lines originating in Yunnan) are common in the region, selected for their adaptation and yield. Coffee is typically grown under moderate shade, with selective hand-harvesting at peak ripeness.
