Blind Assessment
Deep, pungent, smoky. Graham cracker, prune, pecan, molasses, a suggestion of dry chocolate in aroma and cup. Briskly bittersweet structure; lean mouthfeel. In the finish, sweet-toned wood leans toward chocolate.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers near the city of Da Lat, Vietnam, entirely from trees of the Robusta species. Nguyen Coffee Supply is a vertically organized importer and roaster led by its charismatic founder, first-generation Vietnamese-American Sahra Nguyen.

Bottom Line
This is Nguyen Coffee Supply’s darker-roasted Robusta. Its smoky bittersweetness hovers between bold and gently rounded.
