Lao Tea and Natural Products is the result and outcome of rural development programs in Phong Saly Province starting from 2000. \u00a0Puer tea varietal was one viable upland and highland crop with market demand from China and with good growing conditions and chosen by the villagers. The purpose of the company and related social enterprise is to source four Puer tea varieties from mountain villages to enable the villagers to have sustainable markets with fair trade prices and organic and natural certifications. \u00a0Part of the proceeds from tea or natural product sales will fund community village improvements such as schools, student dormitories, village medic supplies and scholarships for ethnic villagers.<\/p>

The efforts of the company are in coordination with local Lao Government authorities to ensure understanding and shared objectives to assist poor highland villages with sustainable social and economic development in distant areas while protecting the natural environment.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Phong Saly Province is the northern most province of Laos, bordering on China on the north and west and Vietnam on the east. \u00a0The China border is with Yunnan Province, ancestral home of Puer Tea. Puer Tea grows well in Phong Saly since the climate and soils are similar to Yunnan Province.<\/div>
All Puer tea grown in Phong Saly is organic and natural. \u00a0Mountain scene here is at Boonneua District Phong Saly, top is about 1400 meters or 4200 feet above sea level, altitude.

Typical of the weather is a shifting sea of clouds and mists especially in the winter from November to March each year. \u00a0Cloud cover and mists roll over valleys, streams, rivers, and mountain top villages. \u00a0The clouds make for a beautiful panorama and ideal conditions for tea growing.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
