Flavor Description
This Son La Bourbon natural shows strawberry jam, ripe plum, raisin, and dark sugar sweetness. The aroma is inviting up front, the mid-palate has a soft jammy texture, and the finish settles between cocoa and dried fruit. Compared with the region's more common Catimor, it feels rounder, softer, and more naturally ripe-fruited.
Regional Note
Son La's specialty progress is not only about new processing methods. It also depends on more suitable varieties and tighter micro-lot management. Small Bourbon lots like this help represent a more elegant side of northern Vietnam.
Brewing Notes
- Pour-over: 90°C water, ratio 1:15
- Tip: Keep brew time a bit shorter to preserve jammy fruit and dark-sugar sweetness without emphasizing woody finish notes
