Laos – Phetlamka Carbonic Maceration.
🥤 Cola // Fresh Berries // Red Cherry 🍒
Who knew you could grow coffee in Laos? The Laotians! That's who!
And it's an exceptional and complex cup - That nostalgic flavour of sweet shop Cola bottles, backed by a fresh berry mouthfeel and finished with a sort of Glacé Cherry vibe
If you've never tried coffee from this region, you owe it to yourself and your coffee journey to give it a go!
From the volcanic soils of the Bolavens Plateau, Phetlamka Estate delivers this single-varietal Typica microlot. After selective harvesting, cherries undergo a carbonic maceration natural—48 hours in CO₂ tanks to intensify fruit complexity—before 20+ days of slow raised-bed drying. The result is a cup that shows why this high plateau is Laos’ speciality coffee heartland, and why its future potential is so exciting.
