96B Black Honey #00177

We’re eager to introduce this new lot to our lineup for the first time! Our partners at 96B in Saigon are not only a café and roastery — they are also actively involved in coffee production. According to recent findings, their coffee is a farm blend of Coffea liberica and Coffea dewevrei (Excelsa). These rare coffee species make up less than 1% of global coffee production and are extremely hard to come by. That’s why we’re especially pleased to have found partners in Vietnam who have built their expertise through years of meticulous work in cultivating and processing these exceptional coffee species.

The cherries for this Black Honey lot undergo dry fermentation for 120 hours in airtight PE bags after picking. They are then lightly depulped, leaving approximately 80% mucilage on the seed. Afterward, the coffee is soaked in sealed containers with clean water for 48 hours before being spread out to dry for 20 days on shaded raised beds.
