Flavor Description

This Cau Dat honey lot carries clear notes of honey pomelo, dried apricot, and buttery caramel. With good cherry maturity and stable drying, Catimor can present impressive sweetness and cleanliness, and this coffee is a strong example. The cup is gentle on entry with hints of roasted almond and cane juice in the finish.

Why It Deserves Inclusion

Vietnamese specialty coffee should not be reduced to "washed Catimor." Honey lots like this show how well the country can produce warm, rounded cups with pectin-driven sweetness and wide appeal.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: 90–91°C water, ratio 1:15.5
  • Tip: To amplify sweetness, go slightly coarser and stretch the final pours a little longer
