Description: another beautiful Arabica offering from Vietnam with no Robusta tones detected.
The average farmer in this the Dung K’No region of Vietnam cultivates on about 1.2 hectares of land. They grow a mix of Catimor with some heirloom Arabica varieties, though the country is more famous for its Robusta production. Coffee is delivered in its cherry form and is processed at a central washing station named Bao Loc located in Dung K’No. Ripe cherries are harvested, de-pulped, and dried partially in their mucilage, then washed clean and dried on raised beds and/or patios for 3–5 days.
Once the coffees are done, the tasting experts screen and sort the beans into regular lots and premium lots to sell them accordingly. This is a premium top lot, large beaned; very tasty & clean cup.
