Although the village sits at a slightly lower elevation than other parts of the Bolaven Plateau, we were drawn here for three reasons.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst, the people. The families here are generous, hardworking, and genuinely enthusiastic about collaborating with us. They have become friends as well as partners, and we visit them multiple times throughout the harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond, the quality.

Once we began to better understand her coffee — particularly her Java — we knew it deserved to be separated and processed individually. This approach has since become a cornerstone of how we work in Laos: providing farmers with the incentive to separate and process their varieties independently. While this requires more work at the farm level, \u003cstrong\u003ewe pay a premium to ensure these distinctive lots can stand on their own.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe meet with each of our farming partners before, during, and after harvest. Agreements are made based on projected volumes, farmer capacity, and our quality standards. In most cases, we purchase everything each family produces at a price set by them, aligning as closely as possible with our volume requirements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe purchase coffee as parchment — meaning it has been wet-processed and dried, but not yet dry-milled. Once collected, we manage the milling, sorting, grading, bagging, and export to Australia ourselves. This removes the burden of dry-milling and export logistics from the farmers and allows them to focus on production. By setting their own parchment price, they are better able to account for their total costs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a model that requires significantly more involvement from us, but it is one we are proud of — built on transparency, shared responsibility, and long-term mutual benefit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Quarter Coffee Merchants","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":45315383820470,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Pour Over","offer_id":45315383853238,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":45315383886006,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":45315383918774,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Plunger","offer_id":45315383951542,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":45315383984310,"sku":null,"price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":45315384017078,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Pour Over","offer_id":45315384049846,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":45315384082614,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":45315384115382,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Plunger","offer_id":45315384148150,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":45315384180918,"sku":null,"price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":45315384213686,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Pour Over","offer_id":45315384246454,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":45315384279222,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ AeroPress","offer_id":45315384311990,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Plunger","offer_id":45315384344758,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":45315384377526,"sku":null,"price":40.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8251\/1286\/files\/Laos-Teng_sJava.png?v=1785718587","url":"https:\/\/mhkshopmotfy.com\/products\/laos-tengs-java-filter","provider":"Mhkshopmotfy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
