Last month I got a pack of coffee beans grown in Laos.Laos is a small country located between Thailand and Vietnam. I have visited Vientiane, the capital, a few times almost 30 years ago and still feel a sense of closeness to its culture and people. At that time, many overseas companies had not invested to its industries and the country kept its tradition though the GDP was very low under socialism. No big factory had been established. I remember drinking beer brewed by a French capital. This would be an exception.Things are changing and nowadays some of foreign investors focus on its environment and labour cost. Tully's is a one of them.
Tully's say they import coffee beans produced in a southern highland, 1100～1200 meters above sea level. A cup of Laotian coffee brings back memories from when I visited this small country in the south east Asia. Laos has been developing now under the global competition. I hope you would try some products exported from Laos.
When I visited Laos, I bought this silver lion. I like its eyes.
The hairstyle looks decent.
This animal is of bravery especially. I hope Laotian people stay safe amid the corona virus.
Hello rtc, Does the Laotian coffee taste special? I sometimes get coffee grown in Taiwan, but most of the time in the morning I am too tied to care and just get Nescafe in packets. I like your silver lion, related to and yet different from Chinese lions--do you keep anything on it?

Nice post!I know little of Laos but it seems to be a great country!
ReplyDeleteLove the lion!
I have two protective Chinese lions at my entrance! They are so beautiful!
Got them from Thailand
Greetings Anita
I remember when the Americans dragged Laos into the south-east Asian war in the 60's/70s, but that's about all I know of this country. Lovely little silver lion!
ReplyDeleteThose coffee beans sound so good. ☕️
ReplyDeleteAn interesting object.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
ReplyDeleteYes we wish all those countries that were/are under socialist rules the very best in spreading their wings and being able to partake in worldwide trade.
Love your silver lion from Laos!
Such small, but meaningful items are the ones we love to bring home from far countries.
Hugs,
Mariette
I like your silver lion.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Have heard a little of Laos.
ReplyDeleteI presume you like the taste of that coffee.
Hope all goes well with it.
The lion is looking lovely.
Take care.
I don't drink coffee but Rick does and he always likes to try new coffee in different places.
ReplyDeleteWell How Cool Is That - Laos Is A Terrifically Beautiful Country - Hope The Beer Went Down Well - Stay Brave

I love the silver lion...wondering how big it is.
ReplyDeleteI bet those coffee beans smell heavenly...wondering what the coffee would be like. A show we seen said Americans as a whole does not know what good coffee is...I suppose we like it a lot weaker than most people.
I agree, the Lion's hairstyle is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Laos but I'd like to.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI love coffee and try different kinds from all over. I have not heard of this Laotian coffee. Your Silver Lion is cute. I wish everyone is safe from the virus. Take care, stay well. Have a happy weekend!
I would love to try Laotian coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat silver lion looks auspicious! Love it!
I would give the coffee a try, I love coffee. The lion is nice looking, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI wish the people from Laos only the very best in life. I have never noticed coffee from there in my local supermarket, but maybe if I get on line. I love a good cup of coffee and am always curious about brands from other countries that I don't get to see locally. The silver lion is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for visiting me! We live in America, but they sell Tully's coffee in most stores. I should try it! I really like your brave little lion!
ReplyDeleteOh very interesting darling

It's always a nice experience when we try a new blend of coffee and like the taste. And it brought back fond memories for you as well. I LOVE coffee, and am sipping on a cup right now while visiting delightful blogs. : )
