Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if someone can explain to me the difference between a Lao coffee and a Vietnamese coffee. Or is it more or less the same thing? Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

David Owlfeather

I never tried Lao Coffee, but I had a Khmer one it was way better than the one I had in the U.S.(Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks and off the counters coffees).

Coffe quality depends on the variety, harvesting method, fermentation method, dry one or wet one, coffe been picked, sorting method, fertilizer applied, only Arabica can be flavored directly, others as blending ingredients.

All on one's preference.

That's what most Laotians tend to do with their coffee, but I'm a health fanatic and I don't follow them.

The sweetened condensed milk is used in place of milk and sugar. There's nothing healthy about it, it's bad for your teeth and you can develop diabetes.

Perhaps, they dont have a good toothbrush. Toothbrush is a good business now in Vietnam.

I bought it in Vietnam, very very harsh. Instant one. They put at least too much C.Robusta as blending ingredient.
