Vietnam Lam Dong-Dung K’No – Archived
Out of StockTaste: A full, coating mouthfeel with great supporting acidity and a brown sugar flavor. We’ve been waiting for a high quality Arabica from Vietnam, and this is it!
Roast: This bean was new to us, so we roasted at all levels Medium (City Roast), Medium/Dark (Full City), and Dark (French Roast). The lighter roast produced a tart pop that dissolved into a mellow finish. The dark tasted very “roasty”, much like a Central American bean, but with more sweetness. But our favorite roast was Full City. Starting with a lower charge temp and dragging out the development phase with a slight increase to fan speed brought out this bean’s natural brown sugar sweetness.
About: Vietnam is the second largest producer of coffee in the world after Brazil, though the quality of the beans (generally strip-picked robustas) has limited their marketability.
Although arabica coffee trees (bourbon) were introduced near Hanoi in 1887, production in Vietnam has dwindled until recently, though the volume is still substantial: 1,000,000 bags/ year, more than countries like Kenya, El Salvador, Rwanda, Panama, and Papua New Guinea. These coffees are mostly blended with robusta coffee and destined to local cafes and neighboring China.
In recent years producers have started to focus more on quality production for the specialty market and we are starting to see some very impressive coffees coming out of this country.
Dung K’no (pronounced “Duhng Ka-nah”) is a community of around 300 people in the Lam Dong province. Coffee here is grown around 1500m altitude on small family farms that are less than 5 acres in size on average. Cherries are collected from the community and then brought to a nearby mill equipped with low water usage pulping equipment from Colombia. After the fruit is removed the coffee is dried in the sun on patios for several days. The resulting coffee has a profile reminiscent of great Colombian coffees. A full, coating mouthfeel with great supporting acidity and a brown sugar flavor.

What happened to one of my favorites, Panama Boquett?
Otherwise, keep the good coffees coming.
Thanx,
Jim
Hi Jim!
We expect to have Panama Boquete back in stock by year-end. Thanks for asking! Another bean currently in stock that has some of the same characteristics is the Papua New Guinea. Really tasty and smooth, and currently 25% off. https://u-roast-em.com/product/papua-new-guinea/
Marty and Jane
My first try at the Vietnam beans and they were (are) great! Save 5 lbs or 10 lbs for me when you get more.
Thanx,
Jim
Jim,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. We are in search of high quality Vietnam beans but the last crop is not yet meeting our quality standards. We’re disappointed because we really enjoyed last year’s Vietnam and it was very popular with our customers. In the mean time we’re receiving samples of some Thai beans that have a similar taste profile and may be a higher quality alternative. We receive the samples today (we hope!) and we’ll keep you posted. Thanks again!
Marty
