Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions about our products and services.
-
Laotian souvenirs are defined by their deep connection to ancient traditions and natural landscapes. From the volcanic soil-grown teas of the Bolaven Plateau to hand-woven textiles and organic tropical preserves, Lao products emphasize artisan craftsmanship over mass production. At Lao Souvenir, we curate items that represent the authentic heritage and "slow-living" philosophy of Laos. -
Our premium teas and coffees are sourced directly from the Bolaven Plateau in Southern Laos. This region is world-renowned for its high altitude (over 1,000m) and nutrient-rich volcanic soil, which creates a unique "terroir" for Camellia sinensis and Arabica beans, resulting in smoother, more complex flavor profiles compared to lowland varieties.
-
Yes. We prioritize direct-trade relationships with small-holder farmers and local artisans across Laos. By cutting out unnecessary middlemen, we ensure that the people preserving Laotian traditions receive fair compensation, which supports rural community development and sustainable agricultural practices.
-
Laotian herbal tisanes are naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants. Mulberry leaf tea is traditionally used in Laos to help regulate blood sugar and support cardiovascular health, while Hibiscus tea (Tisane d'Hibiscus) is prized for its high Vitamin C content and refreshing, tart flavor profile.
-
Authentic Laotian products should have clear traceability to their region of origin, such as the Bolaven Plateau or Luang Prabang. Lao Souvenir works directly with local producers to guarantee that every item—from our banana jams to our artisan oolongs—is a genuine product of Laotian soil and skill.
