Fire-Roasted Vietnamese Peaberry Robusta - Sale

One of the visitors to our back courtyard Flamingo Lounge shared with us a video of his mother and family hand-roasting Robusta coffee back in Vietnam over a fire pit using a wire mesh basket “rotisserie” setup on side supports that was turned with a hand crank. When the beans were ready, they were poured onto a tarpaulin-type cloth and tossed until cooled with the traditional butter oil, a touch of sugar and cocoa. This is a common rural method of coffee roasting, and the result is bagged and sold locally or brewed at a cafe.

We're fire-roasting our Peaberry Robusta on our grill roaster in the same style, only we're foregoing the hand crank for a motor so we don't have to turn the beans manually until our arms fall off!

Our Highland Peaberry Robusta beans are the biggest and best in the world. They are so large that they sometimes task our electric fluid-bed hot air roaster to its limit because they are so big and dense they are slow to cook. Roasting on an open fire lets us really crank it up and go “low tech as heck” on these beans and really serve up a traditional Vietnamese roast just like you would get on a country tour in Vietnam. This is how we like to roll (and toss)... Get your tin mug ready and experience a real cuppa tradition from halfway around the world! 

For this sale, we went really bold. The natural "harlequin" range of color and temperature goes from French Roast to Light. We were worried we went too far, but it was a unanimous consensus to "ship that baby". This is the world's finest Robusta in a bold profile like you've never tasted before!

This new take on our famous Peaberry Robusta is packed in 1-pound bags and available on this sale at a true value price. Please select whole bean or ground.
