Origin and Processing

It grows in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, one of the world’s most important Robusta-producing regions. Vietnam is known for its large Canephora production, but many producers are increasingly improving selection, quality control, and bean preparation.

The Wet Polished process uses high-pressure water to remove remaining parchment and improve bean uniformity. The result is a Robusta with a cleaner appearance, good consistency, and a cup structure especially suited to strength, crema, and stability.
