Iced coffee

Signification

Coffee served with ice.

🌍

Contexte culturel

Coffee is often served in a plastic bag with a handle, making it easy to hang on the handlebars of a motorbike while driving. This region is the heart of coffee production. People here are very proud of their Robusta beans, which give 'Kafe Yen' its signature punchy flavor. It is common to buy a round of iced coffees for your coworkers. It's a small gesture that goes a long way in building 'nam chai' (generosity/spirit). The 'Cafe Culture' is booming. Young people use 'Kafe Yen' as an excuse to visit aesthetically pleasing shops for Instagram photos.

🎯

The 'Bag' Secret

If you buy coffee in a bag, it usually stays cold longer because there is more ice and less surface area exposed to air.

⚠️

Sugar Alert

Lao iced coffee is EXTREMELY sweet by default. If you aren't a fan of sugar, always say 'Wan noy neung'.
