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 and left to ferment naturally, then dried slowly to 12.5% moisture. Expected cup: juicy dark cherry, ripe plum, cane sugar and warm spice — a clean, wine-like natural fermentation that carries the character of the highland forest it was grown beside. Producer: Mr. Que.
