Why this lot is worth tasting
This is the first harvest from Mr. Bang’s farm in Nam Yang commune, Dak Doa. The trees combine two Robusta lines: TR4 rootstock grafted with the Thien Truong variety, planted in April 2025. Black pepper vines intercropped through the farm shade the coffee. Gia Lai farmers are increasingly turning to fine Robusta, and this lot is a chance to taste a farm at the very start of that journey.
Processing and grading
Cherries are processed natural (dry) by 1300’S Coffee: the whole cherry is dried before the bean is hulled out. Natural processing typically gives Robusta more body and a rounder, sweeter cup than washed processing. The green beans are then sorted to screen 16–18 and graded to moisture 12.5% max, black beans 0.1% max, broken beans 0.3% max and foreign matter 0.1% max.
Who this lot is for
With 7 bags of 20 kg, this is a micro-lot. It suits small roasters looking for a limited single-farm Robusta to offer as a special release, or to try fine Robusta alongside their Arabica range. Natural Robusta works well in espresso blends, where it adds body and crema, in milk-based drinks and cold brew, and in traditional Vietnamese phin coffee and cà phê sữa đá.
Traceability
Every bag in this lot comes from one farm and one household: Gia Lai Robusta Coffee Farm of Mr. Tran Van Bang. Our agronomy team supports the farm through the season, and 1300’S Coffee buys, processes, grades and delivers the lot you order.
