The hillsides are heavily fogged and the sunlight is not strong. 10 ° C difference between day and night. This is the only volcanic ash geological plateau in Laos. The coffee quality from the slightly acidic soil can be said to be the most representative high-quality coffee bean in the local area! A hundred years ago, a French missionary brought coffee seeds from North Sumatra, Indonesia, provided by the owner of the Dutch colonial coffee farm, to the Bolaven volcano in the south of Laos.

The unique growth environment made Laos one of the 12 best coffees in the world.French and United Nations authorities established a coffee research center in the main local producing area of the Bolaven Plateau in the early 1970s after discovering the Bolaven Plateau with a unique geographical environment for coffee. Previously 80% of Bolaven coffee was exported to Europe, and the rest was shipped to countries around the world.
