Flavor Description

This anaerobic honey lot highlights Vietnam's experimental spirit. Expect dark berry jam notes accompanied by brown sugar and subtle spices like cinnamon and clove. A full body leads to a rich dark chocolate finish.

Why It's Special

The drier climate in Son La is ideal for honey processing. Anaerobic fermentation transforms the typical woody traits of Catimor into layered fruit sweetness and spice, giving the bean a unique vitality.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: 91°C water. Immersion methods (like Clever Dripper) or pulse-pouring are recommended to enhance body and emphasize the brown sugar sweetness.
  • Tip: Defined layers and a solid warmth make this a perfect pairing for spice-forward desserts like cinnamon rolls.
