Grandmum cafe - Washed Catimor - Cau Dat, Vietnam - 100g

Grandmum cafe is a micro roaster based in Vietnam. They typically only roast for their cafe, so it's a real treat that they worked with us for this. If you're on Discord, Halp does some QC/consulting for them. The roastery is owned by Vietnam's first Aeropress champion, Thi Le. This is a really great example of Vietnamese specialty coffee roasting, and I'm thrilled to be sharing them with you!

Roast Profile: Nordic light. They actually started as a multi roaster and carried a lot of nordic roasters, so they were pretty influenced by that. There will be some development if you push it hard, but with lower ey brews, the coffee really shines. They roast on an OPP, a drum roaster from Vietnam. 

Why'd I bring this coffee on?

While I wouldn't say that Vietnam is my favorite origin, I think the coffee produced there has been really improving over the last few years. As with a lot of producing countries in Asia, the best lots tend to stay local. I wanted to choose a few lots that highlight the potential for the region. Additionally, washed coffee is pretty rare to find in Vietnam, so this lot caught my eye. 

Who's this coffee for?

People who enjoy unique cups. If you love trying new origins and unique lots, this coffee is for you. It's not funky, but it is a catimor, so it will have some nutty/earthy/spicy notes that not everyone loves. 

Tasting notes: citrus, spices, caramel
