Di Linh - Fine Robusta (12 OZ)

Robusta Di Linh represents one of Vietnam's premier expressions of Robusta coffee, cultivated in the fertile highlands of Di Linh district, Lam Dong province. As Vietnam dominates global Robusta production—accounting for over 40% of the world's supply—this regional variant stands out for its exceptional quality, driven by unique terroir and sustainable farming practices. While Robusta is often associated with bold, commodity-grade beans, Di Linh Robusta elevates the variety to specialty status, offering nuanced flavors that challenge preconceptions and appeal to modern coffee enthusiasts.

Tasting profile: Fine Robusta from Di Linh defies traditional harsh stereotypes, offering a clean, smooth cup with low-to-moderate acidity (often malic or subtle citrus hints), very full body (creamy, velvety mouthfeel rated high in CQI protocols), and balanced bitterness/sweetness ratio—thanks to higher caffeine (2x Arabica) but reduced astringency via careful processing. Aroma is intense and nutty, with prominent notes of dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts), and earthy/woody undertones. Flavors layer in fruity accents (tropical/dried fruits like plum, raisins, jackfruit, or subtle lemon in fermented lots), spices (clove, cinnamon), and sweet molasses or sugarcane—often with a savory/umami edge and long, chocolatey finish
