Saigon Blend "S" Home Brew

Our newest blend -- The Saigon "S" Home Brew!

We have not tried to make a taste-alike version of the Trung Nguyen S Blend because we know from our internal connections that the Trung Nguyen production facilities use a lot of techniques that are difficult for us to achieve with "Western" styles of roasters. Specifically, their S Blend is a high-volume-production blend that relies and some trade secrets like pre-soaking the coffee green beans before roasting. Pre-soaking restores lost humidity and results in the beans roasting at a lower internal temperature... parboiling, basically. This brings out a lot more of the flavor elements in the beans and a strong dark chocolate flavor.

Now that the S Blend is our top-selling import coffee, and considering the serious issues we are encountering to bring it in, plus major price increases from TN and shipping, we want to be able to offer a coffee that will "scratch the same itch" if not be identical. And especially with the S Blend, many people have asked us for a whole bean version but TN does not make one. So... we have set ourselves on the task of producing a coffee in this style that might make our customers happy in-between shipments, and if they want to put this coffee in auto-grinding machines that require whole bean. Now being served as our Iced Coffee at our take-out shop!

This blend is mostly blended Robustas, with Bourbon Arabica. About 180 mg caffeine per serving.

See what you think! Super-delicious, freshly roasted, and satisfying in its own right, we hope fans of the S Blend -- and any Vietnamese coffee lover -- might enjoy this new blend!

1 pound bag, choose whole bean or drip grind.

Allergy Alert: Please note that Vietnamese-style coffees may contain traces of chocolate, milk or soy.
