Thinking of healthy organic coffee?

Think of Laos and Vietnam. Indochina is the world’s
second most prolific coffee growing region after Brazil.

producer of coffee.

The central highlands of Vietnam and the highlands of
Laos are idea for growing coffee and were first worked by French coffee planters in
the French Colonial era.

On the Bolaven Plateau in Champasak province of Laos coffee is grown at elevations
between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level.

The cool temperatures and rich volcanic soil coupled
with abundant rainfall give rise to great coffee.

Traditionally coffee in this area has been grown by tried
and true organic methods although in the last
generation more “modern” production techniques have
also been introduced.

Nevertheless, businesses such as the Jhai Coffee
Farmers Co-operative and retailers such as Canadian owned Joma Bakery work
with local growers and continue to produce and sell organic whole bean coffee grown in the highlands of
Laos. By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Although four fifths of the coffee grown in the Laotian
highlands is Robusta much of Laotian organic coffee is
Arabica.

In 2005 Jhai Coffee Farmers Co-operative was certified as a
producer of USDA organic coffee which has helped local farmers
command a higher price for their beans and helped them provide a higher standard of living for their workers whose income is almost entirely derived from the coffee
harvest. By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
The cooperative produces virtually all of its Laotian
organic coffee in the shade thus maintaining a
sustainable environment for coffee production, habitat and soil maintenance, and avoidance of contaminants that commonly are found in
regular coffees.By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
It is encouraging to think that the innocent nation that
became a battleground for so many years is coming into its own with a unique and viable
commercial product.
