The coffee

6 coffees from the Vietnamese highlands. Each one lists its region, roast level, processing method and the notes to expect in the cup.

ArabicaMedium roastWashed

Cầu Đất Washed

Cầu Đất, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng

The classic Lâm Đồng arabica: grown above 1,400 m at Cầu Đất and washed the same day it is picked, so the cup is clean and balanced — cocoa and almond first, a citrus lift at the end.

Notes
cocoa nib, almond, lemon zest
Altitude
1,400–1,600 m

$18.50/ 250 g

RobustaDark roastNatural

Buôn Ma Thuột Robusta

Buôn Ma Thuột, Đắk Lắk

Dense, chocolatey highland robusta from the capital of Vietnamese coffee — the bean behind cà phê sữa đá. Built for a phin: thick body, low acidity, and it stands up to condensed milk without disappearing.

Notes
dark chocolate, roasted peanut, molasses
Altitude
500–700 m

$19.00/ 500 g

ArabicaLight roastHoney

Northern highland arabica, dried with the mucilage still on the bean. Floral on the nose, stone fruit in the cup, and a sweetness that survives a splash of milk.

Notes
apricot, honey, jasmine
Altitude
900–1,100 m

$22.00/ 250 g

ArabicaLight roastNatural

Mộc Châu Natural

Mộc Châu, Sơn La

Dried whole in the fruit on raised beds in the far north, which is what puts berries and cane sugar in the cup. The brightest coffee we carry, and the best argument that Vietnamese coffee is not only strong and dark.

Notes
strawberry, cane sugar, cocoa
Altitude
1,000–1,200 m

$24.00/ 250 g

ArabicaMedium-dark roastWashed

Đắk Lắk Arabica

Đắk Lắk highlands

An everyday arabica from the Central Highlands: rounded, nutty and consistent bag to bag. Forgiving in a filter machine or a moka pot, which is why it is the one we keep on the counter.

Notes
caramel, almond, cacao nib
Altitude
800–1,000 m

$17.50/ 250 g

BlendDark roastBlend

Phin Blend

Đắk Lắk + Lâm Đồng

Two parts highland robusta to one part Cầu Đất arabica, roasted dark for the phin and for iced coffee. Strong, sweet and low in acid — the everyday cup of southern Vietnam, blended on purpose rather than by accident.

Notes
bittersweet chocolate, walnut, brown spice
Altitude
500–1,500 m

$21.00/ 500 g
