This isn't a country that we often see green coffee from, so we're excited to represent this one from Gor Village. If you've had the Vietnam White Lotus and liked the flavor profile, this one is akin. A solid, straight forward profile with some sweet nuttiness and a tea like body.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Twenty families in Gor Village grew this lot, and until fairly recently none of them had a buyer. Coffee was planted around Xam Neua roughly two decades ago and produced almost no income. The district is tucked into a remote corner of northeastern Laos, far enough off the map that season after season passed without anyone in the trade knowing the farms existed at all. That changed in 2015, when exploratory trips into Houaphan turned up these 'forgotten coffee' farms and permanent buying and processing infrastructure followed. Lots like this one are the first time coffee from these villages has reached the world market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGor Village sits at 1,000 meters at 20 degrees north — high latitude for coffee, which does some of the work elevation normally does. Ripe cherry is bought directly from the farmers and paid out in cash on delivery once unripes are sorted, which is a meaningful thing in a place where the alternative for most of the last twenty years was no sale at all. The dry mill is in Gor Village itself; cherry travels to the wet mill in Nala Village, in neighboring Xamtai District, for processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process here is straightforward and clean: cherry is pulped, then fermented submerged in a sealed container, washed off once fermentation hits its mark, and dried on raised beds over about fourteen days. No tricks — this is the lot that shows you what Houaphan tastes like with nothing layered on top of it.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e5LB orders ship in a bulk 5LB bag\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodhi Leaf","offers":[{"title":"12 oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49307971289262,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz \/ Ground - French Press","offer_id":49307971322030,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz \/ Ground - Pour Over","offer_id":49307971354798,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz \/ Ground - Auto Drip","offer_id":49307971387566,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49307971420334,"sku":null,"price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Ground - French Press","offer_id":49307971453102,"sku":null,"price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Ground - Pour Over","offer_id":49307971485870,"sku":null,"price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Ground - Auto Drip","offer_id":49307971518638,"sku":null,"price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/1669\/files\/DSF4061-square.jpg?v=1788555927","url":"https:\/\/www.bodhileafcoffee.com\/products\/roasted-laos-gor-village","provider":"Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
