The 2021 vintage of Malongo cafes celebrates three origins in the mountainous region of the golden triangle in Southeast Asia. An unprecedented and harmonious assembly.
The golden triangle whose climatic conditions are ideal for the cultivation of Arabica cafes offers a vintage with complex aromas, remarkable and sparkling, Equipped with fine liquorice notes accentuating a beautiful length in the mouth. The Laos Café is cultivated on the Bolovens set by the small producers of the CPC cooperative with which Malongo has established links since 2008. Myanmar is a coffee harvested in the heart of the Shan mountains by the Green Gold cooperative made up of 850 families of 52 villages. Yunnan is a coffee from the Simao district, Not far from the borders of Laos and Myanmar.
More coffee, Less opium
A large part of this vintage has the particularity of being cultivated in a region marked by opium production. Thus in partnership with the ONUDC (United Nations Drugs and Crime Office), Malongo leads a program to substitution for the culture of the poppy by that of coffee with small producers of the Shan territory. An alternative development project representing a considerable hope of transition to a legal activity, eco -responsible, Remunerator and sustainable. Founded in 1934, Malongo cafes are pioneers and leaders in fair coffee labeled Max Havelaar,
