Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Bourbon varietal from Vietnam, specifically from the Dalat region in the mountainous district of Lạc Dương. Grown at altitudes between 1500-1600 meters above sea level by the K'Ho people, it is produced by Lộc Rừng. The coffee is processed using the Black Honey method. The flavor profile includes red apple, stone fruit, almond, and honey notes. The coffee comes from the Núi Bà Bidoup area, one of the few regions that still preserves its native dense forest, where coffee is cultivated among some of the highest coffee farms in the country.
