Laotian Coffee Beans: World-Class Quality
Laotian coffee beans are completely 100% Arabica beans—the higher the content of these coffee beans, the better the taste. According to legend, Laotian coffee beans rank third in the world and are mainly exported to France!
Coffee is the fifth largest export product of Laos. The Bolaven Plateau in the south is the largest coffee growing area in the country, producing about 95% of Laos's coffee. The growing area is located at 15 degrees north latitude, with elevations ranging from 600 to 1,300 meters, covering more than 500 square kilometers. With abundant sunshine and rainfall, cool temperatures, and fertile volcanic soil with slight acidity, it possesses excellent growing conditions with the potential to produce large quantities of high-quality Arabica beans. Laotian coffee has a rich, mellow flavor with hints of gentle citrus and floral notes.
Historical Development
In the 1920s, the French transplanted three varieties of coffee trees—Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica—from Vietnam to Laos for cultivation. However, a major frost in 1949 caused massive coffee tree deaths. Farmers abandoned disease-prone Arabica and low-priced Liberica, switching to the more disease-resistant Robusta. According to 2001 data, 34,000 hectares of farmland and 23,000 families were engaged in coffee production, with 88% being Robusta and 12% Arabica. This included both low-yield small-scale farmers and systematically managed large plantations. Most large plantations have their own brands and processing facilities. The Laotian government has cooperated with development agencies from various countries to introduce high-yield, high-quality Arabica trees to Laos, increasing farmers' income.
Harvest Season and Tourism
Each year from October to February is the coffee harvest season. If you're interested in visiting coffee plantations, experiencing farmers' lives, and hand-picking coffee cherries, consider a trip to Laos in December.
The higher the Arabica bean content in coffee, the better the quality, and Laotian coffee is exactly 100% Arabica beans—you can see the red label in the upper left corner of the front packaging: 100% Arabica.
There's no denying the quality of these coffee beans—the coffee taste is purely rich and aromatic—truly unforgettable!
Perhaps it's even more delicious than your freshly ground coffee—this coffee is definitely better than Starbucks coffee!

Red Package: Original flavor with a slightly sweet taste
