Many people may not believe that Laos really produces high-quality coffee. But just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Laos does produce the best coffee in the world. Compared with other parts of Southeast Asia, Laos has a short history of growing coffee and was not introduced here by the French until the early 20th century. However, Laos's unique natural environment makes Laos coffee vaguely reveal the king atmosphere of the top coffee in Southeast Asia.

Laos coffee is famous for its rich aroma and delicate taste, with citrus fruit and floral aromas giving tasters a lingering aftertaste with a hint of chocolate sweetness. Compared with most heavy-flavored Southeast Asian coffee, Laos coffee tastes fresher and milder.

There is a reason why the Borofen Plateau is ranked as the top coffee producer in the world by National Geographic magazine. Moderate altitude and unique volcanic ash geology create a unique taste of Laos black coffee.

Most of the farmers who grow coffee on the Bolaven plateau come from a local minority, the Lofen. The ancestors of the Luofen people were a branch of the Khmer empire that flourished in the ninth and tenth centuries. They named this plateau area Borofen, which means the home of the Luofen people. The Katu and Alak also grow coffee in this area. The annual harvest season. Local farmers spread the harvested coffee beans flat on the ground and let the bright sunshine on the plateau dry them naturally.

Laos black coffee is mainly grown in the Bolaven plateau of the southern province of Bassai, and is basically distributed around Paksong, which is also known as the coffee capital of Laos, where a grand coffee festival is held every year. The latitude of the earth is about 15 degrees north latitude and the elevation is more than 1300 meters. It has a pleasant climate and abundant rainfall, while the rich nutrients in volcanic ash geology provide unique soil conditions for the local coffee. In Laos, the famous Arabica varieties and Robusta varieties are grown. At first, all the coffee grown in Laos was Arabica, and then about 80% of the growing areas were converted to Robusta because of diseases and insect pests. Now Laos, like its neighbor Vietnam, has begun to re-expand the planting area of Arabica coffee.

The production of coffee beans in Laos is small, and almost all Arabica coffee is sold to France, a relationship that has not changed since colonial times. Obviously, after the French left, the Laotians didn't know how to sell coffee. Robusta coffee was exported. It was sold to Thailand and went to Nestle. Maybe this is why Thai Nestle coffee tastes so fragrant?

At present, there are no large-scale coffee plantations in Bazhai, and most of them are small-scale production by small farmers. Although Pakistan produces the world's top coffee, the tourism industry is just in its infancy. Few foreign tourists come here, and tourists from Europe, the United States and China are mostly attracted by Luang Prabang and Wanrong.

If you are an avid coffee enthusiast, you can also come to the Boloven Plateau to visit the local village. November to January is the harvest time for Arabica coffee, while February to March is the harvest time for Robusta. If you're not crazy about coffee, go to Vientiane or Luang Prabang cafes and find first-class local coffee, but remember to choose Arabica coffee.

Laotians like to drink coffee from glass cups. They pour condensed milk into the cup of coffee and mix the taste of coffee and condensed milk, which is more suitable for the traditional taste of Laotians. After drinking coffee, Laotians usually have a light cup of green tea.
