THE PRODUCER
This coffee is grown by dedicated farmers in small cooperatives in Son La Province, Northwest Vietnam. These producers follow traditional farming practices that prioritize quality, sustainability, and care for the land. The cooperative model ensures that the coffee is cultivated with attention to detail at every stage.
THE COFFEE
This Grade 1 Arabica reflects the exciting emergence of Vietnamese specialty coffee. Cultivated at high elevations, the Catimor varietal thrives in nutrient-rich soil and cool mountainous terrain. The polished semi-washed processing gives the coffee a unique complexity, combining warming spice notes of clove and nutmeg with subtle brown sugar sweetness and a smooth, lingering smoky finish. Its balanced, low acidity and clean body make it ideal for slow brews, such as French press or pour-over, where its nuanced layers can be fully appreciated.
THE REGION - SON LA PROVINCE

THE PROCESS
After harvesting, the cherries undergo a polished semi-washed process. This method combines elements of natural and washed processing, enhancing complexity while maintaining clarity.
