Origin Story
The story behind this cup.
Son La sits at over 1,200 meters in northern Vietnam, where the Thai and Mong ethnic communities have farmed coffee alongside rice and vegetables for three generations.
Unlike the mass-produced Robusta of the Central Highlands, this Arabica is grown in small plots, hand-picked at peak ripeness, and processed carefully to preserve its delicate profile.
We visit these farms each harvest season — walking the terraces, tasting from the cherry stage. The relationship is direct, and the price paid to farmers reflects that.
