This blend combines coffees from Honduras and Vietnam. The Honduran component is from the Ocotepeque region, produced by San Marcos cooperative, while the Vietnamese component comes from the DaLat region, produced by Dung K'no cooperative. Both coffees are washed processed. The blend offers a full-bodied profile with tasting notes of marzipan, bittersweet chocolate, and caramel. Roasted to a medium to dark level, this coffee is designed to work well as espresso, drip coffee, or manual pour over.

Victrola Coffee Roasters was founded in Seattle in 2000 by Chris Sharp and Jen Strongin, and began roasting its own coffee three years later in a small back room of the original location. The company imports roughly 90 percent of its green coffee directly from the farmers and cooperatives it has built relationships with over two decades. Many of those coffees are shade grown, reflecting a commitment to sourcing practices that sustain the ecological systems where coffee is cultivated. That philosophy of equity and transparency runs through every part of the operation, shaping how Victrola approaches everything from producer relationships to the roasting process itself.
