"At NESPRESSO, we’re roaming the globe to deliver unique terroirs, pure origins, and rare coffees that are considered gems by coffee connoisseurs. Twice a year you will be invited to join us in experiencing these select Grands Crus, renowned for their remarkable taste. Welcome to the EXPLORATIONS community. With each selection, you will have the pleasure of savoring a pair of coffees, expertly matched for their contrasting taste profiles, each as intriguing as the last. Discover our very first EXPLORATIONS collection.

LAOS BOLAVEN PLATEAU
Since the French era of the early 1900s, Laos has been producing coffees, yet few specialist coffee makers have explored the true potential of its optimal terroir, microclimate and humidity. In fact, this is the very first time that Nespresso has released a coffee from Laos.

After tasting numerous samples for many years, our experts finally found an exceptional coffee on a farm in the town of Paksong in the misty Bolaven Plateau and set about developing a coffee produced only on this one single farm. A coffee that could finally showcase the exciting potential of this region’s rich volcanic soil and optimum terroir.

Laos produces two main types of coffee: Robusta and Arabica and there's over 250 coffee growing communities that depend on the crop for a living. Most of these communities are found on the misty Bolaven Plateau.

This region which sits at four thousand feet above sea level is blessed with its very own microclimate. Rainfall and humidity remain high not just in monsoon season, but all year round.

Coffees from Laos are generally known for their distinctive cereal notes and green vegetal personality. We wanted to bring out the brightest and finest of these, expressed as golden wheat, grains and herbs.

Our chosen Laos Bolaven Plateau coffee shares similar aromatic profiles to some of our other Grand Crus, in particular Dulsão do Brasil and Livanto. All three coffees are characterized by a balanced and round profile with cereal notes.

KENYA PEABERRY
World-renowned for exceptional coffees, we chose to open a collection of extraordinary coffees by visiting Kenya. Sitting on either side of the equator, its altitude, temperature and humidity make for a truly superb terroir.

Kenya’s renowned plant varieties, characterized by a prominent acidity, rich berry notes, and a silky mouthfeel make this region’s coffees quite unlike any others in the world. It's no wonder therefore that Kenya is referred to as 'The King of Coffees'.

For this particular coffee we used 100% Arabica ‘Peaberry’ beans. This highly prized bean possesses all the distinctive qualities of a Kenyan coffee at its most prominent. A unique and carefully crafted roasting profile allowed our experts to unlock the huge potential of this bean and control its fine acidity and fruity notes.

Sometimes a coffee plant bears a special cherry.

Instead of containing the typical two flat beans, a single bean develops. Since there is more space within the cherry for it to grow, it takes on a rounder, fuller form. Named after its pea-like shape, this brilliant bean contains all the qualities of two typical Kenyan beans condensed into one.

This rare cherry only occurs in three to five percent of all coffee. And it’s solely these precious beans that we hand select and sort to create our unique Kenyan Peaberry espresso.

Kenya Peaberry has a special aromatic connection to other Grand Crus in our collection, especially coffees like Cosi and Rosabaya de Colombia. All three coffees share two main characteristics: fine acidity combined with fruity notes." ~ Nespresso (https://www.nespresso.com/)
