Robust Coffee Culture
The vibrant coffee culture is one beneficial legacy of Laos' colonial past that is clearly visible in Lao society. Similar to Vietnam, a fantastic cup of coffee can be purchased almost anywhere in the towns of Laos, making mornings there even more beautiful. If the amount of coffee doesn't motivate you to get out of bed in the morning, the superior quality of the country's coffee will. Laos produces some of the best coffee in the world.
Lattes and cappuccinos should not be consumed when sampling Lao coffee. People who prefer weak coffee shouldn't drink Lao coffee. Strong, thick, and creamy coffee is the region's traditional brew. The beverage is typically brewed with a cloth filter sock and is known as "café lao." The hot liquid is then poured into a glass with powdered creamer and sweetened condensed milk. Coffee drinkers will enjoy the rich beverage, which has a tinge of chocolate.
One thousand meters above sea level, in southern Laos, is the Bolaven Plateau. This distinctive highland region of Laos, which is home to the Lavens hilltribe, is dotted with several Arabica and Robusta coffee plantations. Coffee is one of the main exports and is easily accessible in cafés all around the nation thanks to the country's mild, wet environment, which is ideal for coffee cultivation.
