Specialty Natural Arabica S16+

Măng Đen is the highland that gave 1300’s its name: cool air, ancient red basalt soil and primary forest, around 1,300 m above sea level.

Origin: Măng Đen, Kon Tum

Arabica from Măng Đen, in Kon Plông, Kon Tum, grows between 1,200 and 1,300 m. The cool mountain climate slows the ripening of the cherries, which builds a light citrus acidity, a balanced body and a sweet finish. Our processing facility sits inside the growing region, so cherries picked in the morning are on the drying beds the same day.

• Soil: ancient red basalt
• Altitude: 1,200–1,300 m above sea level
• Region: Măng Đen, Kon Plông, Kon Tum

Harvest & process

Cherries are handpicked selectively at full ripeness and reach the drying beds the same day.

Natural process: whole cherries are dried in the sun with the fruit still on, giving a fuller body and deeper sweetness.

In the cup

Floral, cane sugar, dark chocolate, herbal, dried fruit; creamy, balanced and sweet.

For roasters

This is green coffee, so the roast is yours. A light roast keeps the fruit and acidity, a medium roast balances sweetness and body, and a dark roast brings out the chocolate and bitterness. Tell us how you plan to use it and we will suggest a starting profile.
