I bought this Sinouk Pure Arabica Instant Coffee from THAIFEX - World of Food Asia 2008, Bangkok. I was just bored of Nescafé Gold and needed a change of taste. This one tastes different and even better and is made in Vientiane, Laos PDR. I bought this coffee for 200 Baht after they offered a free tasting glass of the Sinouk fresh ground coffee at the booth which tasted amazing.
On the front cover (pictured above) the print says Freeze-Dried Instant Coffee, Café Gourmet Lao, Sinouk Gold, Pure Arabica.
On the back cover (pictured above) it says Sinouk Café Lao with the address and a lot of text in the Laos language. It also has a picture of Mr. Sinouk Sisombat, President of the Lao Coffee Association with his quote "Do share my passion for quality coffee". From his name he appears to be the owner of Sinouk Coffee which is a competitor to "Dao Heuang Lao Coffee" another major coffee brand from Laos.
Since I tasted too much coffee that day I had to skip the Dao Huang Lao Coffee booth, and just found out recently that this brand seems more popular!

Hi!
I met Mr. Sinouk in Pakse (Lao) last February (2009).
He is a very special person and it is so nice to listen when he speaks about his coffee plantation and work.
If you need further information about Mr. Sinouk, his coffee plantation or the way to go to the "cafeteria" you can e-mail me:
degustazionionline@libero.it
I will be very happy to answer to you.
Thankyou
