Asyanna will never be complete without the best selections of coffee and tea from the Asian region, particularly the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam.

As we are coffee and tea lovers ourselves, we also want to share our wonderful finds from our travels in these parts of the world. Many of you will agree that there is no better way to start the day than with a steaming mug of coffee or tea (coupled with your favorite cookies or even rice meal!).

Why Philippine, Laos and Vietnam coffee? For one, coffee from these three countries are very different from any coffee grown in the world! For instance, the Benguet coffee of the Cordilleras, Philippines, has the bitter-sweet-strong character that is almost mysterious. Lao coffee, on one hand, mostly come from the Boloven Plateau in Southern Laos which “has the climate that is highly accommodating for coffee.” Experts say the plateau is the “best place to grow coffee because the temperatures, humidity, as well as solar radiation levels, shade from the jungle and altitude are perfect for coffee.” Of course, our love affair with Vietnamese coffee is also worth sharing. Once you have a taste of their coffee blends, we are very sure that like us, you will also be hooked forever.

For our tea line, we have two kinds of green tea that will soon be made available: Paksong Golden Green Tea, also grown in the Bolaven highlands in the south of Laos, and the very rare Phongsali Pu'er Green Tea from the remote mountainous area in northeastern Laos.

(Note: Currently, we are only selling Philippine coffee. Please watch out for future announcements regarding the other coffee varieties from Laos and Vietnam.)
