Vietnamese Dalat Bourbon Arabica, green unroasted
Bourbon Arabica beans are characterized by a roundness and mellowness of flavor that modern Arabicas often lack, coupled with a balanced acidity and smooth mouthfeel. The trees these beans grow on were preserved on estate farms when everyone else was re-planting their farms with modern hybrids, and we're very glad that they were! The Bourbon variety was brought to Vietnam by French Jesuits over a century ago. It was prized for its deep, dark,unique chocolatey, buttery profile.
We have a new supply, so we are returning this to the green, unroasted coffee listings. Please note that our origin cost has almost doubled in the last year, so the pricing has had to change.
NOTE: The FDA wants us to inform you that green, unroasted coffee beans must be boiled or roasted before consumption.

The green beans are very soft - caution when roasting!
I roast all my coffees using a Cafe Gene hot air roaster with several pre-set roasting cycles. So, I normally set the profile to give a medium (City) roast. My first 8oz batch was a 'perfect' Italian roast. so I backed off a couple of roast profiles and got a dark Full City on next 8oz. Third batch I backed down to the 'American' roast and got a great medium roast. ( I will need to find a way to use my very dark Italian results in a blend for espresso.
It would help if the green beans were labeled "Soft Beans, roast lighter" (or something like that). So far the coffee is great in the lighter roast and getting better a few days after roasting. Thank You, Jim B.

Very good beans
Took it a little into 2nd crack in a 1500w Poppery, seemed to bring out the most flavor. Wanted to try some Vietnamese beans and was not disappointed.
"A delicate blend of old shoe leather and post-pubescent teenage angst with a husky afterburn of..." Nah, just good flavor of... coffee.
