Lặng #00164

“Lặng” means stillness in Vietnamese. It’s a feeling that overcomes you as you hike through the tropical rainforest, at the edge of which Lộc Rừng’s farms are located. We dedicate this name to the peaceful morning coffee before a busy harvest day begins in Đưng KNớ. When everything is still quiet, the Lộc Rừng team sits together for their first cup of coffee — preferably this particularly balanced, washed coffee.

This lot was processed by mechanically removing the coffee cherries first. Through a 3-day anaerobic fermentation in fresh mountain water from the nearby spring, the mucilage is fully removed. The result is a coffee with pronounced sweetness, a round body, and a smooth mouthfeel, highlighting the stone fruit notes typical of the forest-grown varieties on the Loc Rung farms.

The beans were dried for approximately 10 days on raised beds in a shaded area to preserve clarity and balance.
