Koffie's Coffee Workshop.
Koffie's Coffee Workshop
The Dutchman Koffie was traveling in Asia, visited Tibet and lived in Thailand a couple of years and bought some coffee in Paksong to roast and ship to people around the world.
The nickname Koffie was given at age 2 when he started drinking the leftover coffee from his mother's coffee cup.
It was in Paksong on a coffee buying trip that Koffie fell in love with the local coffee trader, daughter of a big family with several small organic coffee farms.
When Koffie visited Paksong as a traveller he recognized the need for a coffee workshop in the coffee capital of Laos and had an excellent excuse to develop one at the moment he was married and became a resident of Laos.
