In Huong Phung, Quang Tri, the Central Highlands climb to their highest ground before giving way to a national forest still roamed by wild animals — the last wild edge before the coffee begins. It's on these high slopes that this rare varietal grows: Coffea Excelsa, hand-picked at 99% ripe cherry, left to ferment naturally, and finished to a medium roast. Dark cherry, ripe plum, molasses and warm baking spice — wine-like, syrupy and vibrant, carrying the character of the highland forest it was grown beside. Producer: Mr. Que.
