Prune | Persimmon | Pu'er
This THA1 from Quang Tri Province showcases a brand new coffee variety exclusive to Vietnam. THA1 is an F5 (fifth generation) hybrid of Ethiopian and Vietnamese coffee that took 25 years to develop. It's only been available to farmers since 2016, making this a unique opportunity to taste a variety in its earliest stages.
This particular lot comes from 96B's work with Huong Phung farm, where the THA1 plants are just five years old and this marks only their second harvest.
The anaerobic natural processing boosts THA1’s inherent floral characteristics. Ripe cherries were dry fermented for five days, then slow-dried over 30 days. The result is a cup bursting with sweet prune, fragrant persimmon, and a hint of bubble gum and berry jam. The cup is grounded by notes of fermented black tea notes like pu’er, and rich brown sugar.
200g bag. Roasted in Toronto, Ontario.

The Bisal Munti really stood out in terms of profile and good processing. After the cupping, it blew my mind to find that this coffee was grown at a pretty low altitude at 650 meters! On the table it had a lot of candied plum, chocolate, and salted caramel.
