Vietnam Son La

Vietnam is the second largest producer of coffee in the world. Over 90% of what they produce is the cheaper Robusta species however this coffee has been sourced from the northern province of Son La which is renowned for producing quality Arabica coffees.

The harvesting is all done by hand unlike the ‘strip picking’ in Robusta production, the cherries are only picked when ripe. They are then processed using the ‘wet hulling’ technique which is very common in South East Asia most famously in Sumatra and Java.

Following another washing beans are dried using guardiolas to maximise a quick drying time with accurate control over final moisture in the bean.

Flavours of caramel, nuts, orange, raisin, and toffee.
