Vietnamese Dalat Peaberry Robusta - DOT Special
Vietnamese Peaberry Robusta is the secret ingredient in Italian espresso. Its lush body, chocolatey taste, and excellent aftertaste are a product of the rich soil in Vietnam, and the fact that they are able to sun-dry the coffee cherries, which develops Robusta's natural sweetness. This highland Robusta is washed, extremely high-quality, and has a little sharper, bolder profile than the non-peaberry Robusta from the same region.
Why Robusta? Coffee drinkers are evenly divided between "front palate" people and "back palate" people. We find that people who respond well to Vietnamese coffees in general tend to be "back palate" people, and Robusta excites primarily the back of the palate. In particular, Vietnamese high-altitude Robusta has developed indigenously to be almost its own subspecies, and the gourmet Robusta from this region is exceptionally delicious, quite unlike the low-altitude versions and Brazilian Robusta.
We are offering this DOT Special one-timer of 1 full pound done in Harlequin Roast, Len's favorite and most "fiddly" two-temperature roast for this bean. It's amazing, and a must try for any Robusta fan who loves the peaberry just straight up. Limit 1.
DOT is a local popular abbreviation for Dorchester, the new city in which we are located :-)
1 lb (16 oz) bag Harlequin Roast coffee, please choose drip grind or whole bean. High in caffeine.
