A BIT ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Pat and Tam’s Natural is a unique expression of expertise, ideal conditions, and the Langbiang Mountain’s special terroir — resulting in a beautifully complex filter coffee.
Grown high on the slopes of Langbiang, this rare lot showcases the potential of dry natural processing in a remarkable pocket of Vietnam.
After nine years of loving their washed coffees, we’re excited to share their Natural for only the second time.

THE STORY
This coffee is a rare opportunity to experience a delicious example of Vietnamese specialty coffee built on the foundation of creating a sustainable, viable farming future.
Coffee farming is no easy task, yet despite the challenges, Pat and Tam have been able to create a range of top-tier coffees on the beautiful slopes of Langbiang mountain. Generally speaking, their coffee has a distinct flavour profile that isn’t found in other regions of Vietnam. This natural lot offers its own distinctly sweet, full-bodied flavour profile, that truly encapsulates the essence of their farm.
Pat, Tam, and their K'Ho community have worked tirelessly for many years to improve every aspect of growing, harvesting, and processing their coffee. Empowered by their progress, they have been able to move beyond the 'commodity coffee' cycle of the past, and now produce an exceptionally high-quality product year on year.
Over the past 9 or so years, we have built trust through an ongoing relationship, and we've all benefited from working closely together.
For our company, this relationship embodies everything we aspire to represent. Their coffee was the very first we imported in 2017, starting with just one humble pallet. This year, we secured 13 tonnes from them. We have grown together.
