FLAVOR

Da Lat is a peaceful, relaxing city, beloved to the Vietnamese people. Da Lat Arabica Typica, a rare coffee variety of Vietnam’s Central Highlands grows on a hearty tree, has a natural sweetness, is mellow and full of acidity with a slightly sour taste.

We acquire our coffee beans through Direct Trade with local farmers. We then roast small batches to create a strong and distinctive cup of coffee.

ORIGIN

The Arabica Typica variety was introduced in Da Lat by French growers in 1957. However, due to desease and low yields, it was gradually replaced by the high-yield, Catimor variety. Today, Arabica Typica is cultivated by a select few, in particularly suitable fields, making this product an even more highly cherished variety of Central Highlands coffee.

Arabica Typica specialty coffee is grown on fertile Bazan soil in Da Lat City, Lam Dong Province, at an elevation of 1200 to 1600 meters. The mild climate and mineral-rich, volcanic forestland produces exceptional Arabica coffee trees known as “Royal Coffee”.

From February to April each year, coffee trees blossom in unison with other spring plants. Their flowers cover the hills and fields of the Central Highlands with a fairyland like blanket of white.
