Vietnamese Dalat Bourbon Arabica - Sale

New Harlequin Roast option!

Dalat has very little land at altitude high enough to grow premium Arabica, and Bourbon is the ideal species for the soil and altitude in this lower region of the Annam Highlands (today called the Central Plateau). Chocolatey, buttery, lower in acid than other Arabicas, this variety fits the preferences of Vietnamese growers since ~1900.

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. Bourbon is unique in that it matures/ripens slowly after roasting and maintains a wonderful profile that seems to age well over weeks.

We learned when re-imagining our Dalat Blend with the Bourbon base having a 2-temperature roast level that we really like this origin as a multi-temperature roast too. So we are offering it for this sale to see what people think. The new Harlequin roast option uses a base of 436 F and about a third of the beans at a darker temperature of about 464 F. Mmmm... smooth, rich, and delicious!

1 pound (16 ounce) bag roasted coffee, choose our traditional Medium Roast or new Harlequin Roast. Please select ground or whole bean.
