Roasted Vietnam Excelsa

Grown in Quảng Trị, Vietnam, this medium roast showcases 100% Coffea Excelsa — a rare varietal that accounts for a fraction of the world's coffee and behaves like nothing else in the cup. Naturally climate-resilient and deep-rooted, Excelsa ripens slowly and unevenly, rewarding the patient picking and careful sorting it demands with a bold, full-bodied character all its own. Where Arabica leans bright and Robusta leans blunt, Excelsa lands somewhere richer and more unexpected: dark, layered fruit wrapped around a savory-sweet core. Expect dark cherry, cacao nib, and dried plum over a molasses base, with a syrupy, rounded finish that lingers. Medium roasted to hold that natural depth in balance — enough development for structure, restrained enough to keep the fruit intact. Low in acidity, generous in body, and quietly complex, it's a cup for anyone ready to look past the usual two species and taste what coffee's rarest branch can do.
