Saigon Blend: Lam Dong Arabica - Sale

Our newest Saigon Blend uses award-winning Arabica coffees in multi-temperature roasts to produce a smooth, chocolatey profile reminiscent of Trung Nguyen Creative 3 and Creative 5, yet unique in its approach. Enjoy this blend at our great sale price before Arabica from Vietnam prices go through the roof or the coffee becomes unavailable altogether. There is currently a shortage of premium high-altitude Arabica beans in Southeast Asia due to production and supply chain issues, but we just managed to source some more of our wonderful Blue Son La Bourbon Arabica last month.

Lam Dong is a province in the highest region of the Vietnamese Central Plateau, the mountain range that extends up into Laos and used to be called the Annam Highlands. It is renowned internationally for the purest teas in the world, produced for almost 200 years in the region. But it is also the only region that can produce a significant quantity of high altitude Arabicas. Grown in basaltic soil (ancient volcanic soil enriched by the cultivation of foliage) and blessed with a perfect weather cycle for growing coffee. Da Lat and other regional Arabicas have been sought after by Italian espresso makers and other award-winning producers for over 2 decades.

Trung Nguyen no longer produces Creative 3 Arabica whole bean, and Creative 5 Culi Arabica bean is seldom available. Saigon Lam Dong Blend is our answer to superb rare Arabica Central Highlands coffee!

1 lb (16 ounces); choose ground or whole bean. The ground is designed for coarse drip machines, french press and phin filter brewing. The whole bean is dry and will not clog grinders with fine particles like the Trung Nguyen whole beans do. Great for grind-and-brew machines.
