Sale Price: $12.00 Original Price: $24.00

Paksong is a Gesha variety coffee grown in Laos on the Bolaven Plateau, near the Vietnam border. While Laos is not widely recognized for specialty coffee, the region's volcanic soils, high elevations, and optimal climate make it perfectly suited for high-quality Arabica cultivation, especially the expressive Gesha variety

Cup Profile

  • Lightly roasted Paksong Gesha is delicate, floral, and aromatic, exhibiting jasmine, honeysuckle, and even hints of orange blossom.

  • Typical tasting notes include white tea, raw sugar, honey, and cocoa, with a tea-like clarity and silky body.

  • The flavor is layered and complex, with excellent sweetness and a lingering, soft finish, making it ideal for gentle brewing methods such as pour-over, Chemex, or drip.

Brewing Techniques

  • Best enjoyed as a pour-over or Chemex to highlight its delicate florals and subtle citrus, but also produces a lively and nuanced drip coffee.

  • Light roasts are recommended to showcase the vivid aromatics and fine acidity typical of the Gesha variety.
