Vietnam Java Longberry Champagne Natural

Tasting Notes Rose, Tangerine, Cherry. A delicately perfumed cup reminiscent of Rose Apple/Pomarosa. A citric acidity livens the cup. Berries, Jackfruit and milk chocolate in the cup. The most complex coffee we have tasted yet from Vietnam and an excellent example of the Java Variety Background Last November Miguel travelled to Vietnam to meet up with Rae of Karmic Circle Coffee Trading and visit Vuong Farm near Dalat, whose coffees we have been buying the past 3 years. While there we set up some trial fermentations of our champagne natural process with wine yeasts on Catimor and another variety they have been calling ‘Typica Longberry’ Miguel didn’t think it was Typica, but rather  the ‘Java’ variety- A high cup quality Ethiopian Landrace. We had samples of the coffee sent to RD2 in France for genetic testing and the Longberry was confirmed to be a 100% match for Java variety. Only 50lb was produced this year, but hopefully next year Vuong Farm can produce more for us! About Vuong Far
