Quang Tri - Vietnam

We are very excited about this one.

You probably know about Arabica and Robusta. Well, this coffee is of a different variety. A Lyberica and Excelso variety blended and fermented by the people of 96B in Vietnam. 

The coffee is grown in Huong Phung commune in Quảng Trị province, a remote but promising location despite its lower elevation. 

This region offers unique advantages for high-quality Liberica production:
A rich diversity of old Liberica cultivars, originally introduced by the French in the early 20th century. An ideal microclimate, with temperatures ranging from 24-26°C and relatively high humidity. Situated in a unique agroforestry model, where Liberica trees grow alongside Arabica plantations to shield them from wind. 

Historically, Liberica cherries from this region were either sold at extremely low prices under the name “pseudo Arabica” or transported elsewhere to be labeled as “Culi” (a special Robusta). 96B aims to transform this region into a recognized high-quality Liberica-growing hub, improving both economic opportunities for farmers and recognition for Vietnamese Liberica on the global stage.

Chances are that you have never had a coffee like this before.
