Escape | Mayor - Laos

Escape Coffee

When you focus on one thing, many things happen. And at Escape, that one thing was always coffee. That's why we cross continents, explore different roasting techniques, flavours, infusions, and sustainable practices. We work with local artists, hand-package our selections and deliver to distributors. 

We have decided to choose our coffees carefully, taking into consideration the quality, taste, social impact, transport, origin and treatment of employees. We deliver our products with the most ecological means of transport possible and pack our products only with compostable or reusable packaging. 

We build Escape by putting the planet, people and quality before profit. At Escape, this is our main philosophy. With all the information we have regarding the social and environmental impacts of our actions, we firmly believe that companies and brands must take responsibility. 

'Coffee is a moment to escape. A chance to free yourself from the routine of everyday life to achieve something greater, that inspires, motivates and illuminates.'

Mayor - Laos

We have a bit of a habit… When an amazing coffee lands on our cupping table, we buy it… even if we technically don’t have room for it. Luckily, we’re pretty good at making room. Variants are one of our favorite ways to do that. So, with that confession out of the way, meet Mayor – Laos: the sibling to our regular Mayor, but from a whole new origin. This was our first time buying coffee from Laos, and honestly, it felt like a “where have you been all our lives?” kind of moment.

Mayor – Laos comes from the Champasak region of the Bolaven Plateau. With high altitudes, rich volcanic soil, and abundant groundwater, the terroir is nearly perfect for producing high-quality arabica. As always with Mayor, this lot is a washed Catigua varietal. In the cup, expect notes of Bosc pear, Glosette, and brown sugar. A cozy trio that makes this the perfect brew for the coldest, darkest months of the year.

We hope you love our new take on Mayor as much as we do. We’ll be sipping it all winter long.
