Blind Assessment: Subtly complex, delicately sweet. Red plum, hazelnut, agave syrup, honeysuckle, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Balanced structure with pert acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The gently fruit-toned finish is supported by hazelnut and oak notes.

Notes: Produced at Hung Farm entirely of the Catimore variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (beans are dried in the whole fruit). VN Beans is a Bay Area coffee importer and roaster dedicated to sharing Vietnamese culture and Vietnamese specialty coffee sourced from small, family-owned coffee farms in Vietnam.

The Bottom Line: A finely balanced cup from Vietnam centered around notes of stone fruit and sweet nut.
