This coffee is an experimental hybrid lot from Thy Thy Farm, located in the Cầu Đất highlands of Vietnam's Lâm Đồng province at 1,500–1,600 meters altitude. Produced by Lê Ngọc Thy, the coffee is grown using organic and microbial soil-building practices. It undergoes a unique 'Champagne Natural' process, involving fermentation with selected wine yeasts. The flavor profile features ginger and lime zest, vibrant acidity, a pleasant nuttiness, and a sugar cane-like sweetness, offering a complex and aromatic cup.
