I stayed at a beautiful beachfront hotel last week. Pool, gym, ocean view — they got everything right.
EXCEPT THE COFFEE
Day 1: bad. Day 2: still bad. Day 3: “Good news — we’ve upgraded you to fresh French press in the VIP lounge.”
Perfect. Finally.
I walk in, see a high-end machine, whole beans in the hopper… this should’ve been great. It wasn’t. Same terrible coffee. Just fresher.

That’s when it hit me: You can’t fix a bad core product with better equipment. In business, we often try to "fancy up" a broken process instead of fixing the foundation. We invest in expensive software, sleek branding, or premium packaging—but if the underlying service is flawed, all you’re doing is delivering a bad experience faster.
That one detail? It’s what I remember most. Not the beach. Not the room. The coffee.

☕ We don’t cut corners on coffee. Ever.

Samples of fully washed Bourbon will be available at the World of Coffee Dubai 2026. The coffee is processed by Kiet’s family.
Kiet is 28 years old and currently single. He lives with his parents at an elevation of 1,600 meters above sea level, in a house facing the mountains. He works together with his parents on 1 hectare of Bourbon coffee.
Three years ago, his family changed their processing method by picking only ripe cherries, fermenting them under water until all the mucilage was removed, and then drying them in the sun. Each harvest, he processes around 2,000 kg of green beans.
This is the first year we are cooperating to introduce this lot to roasteries. The FOB price is USD 10,500 per metric ton, from the port of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Each processing batch produces about 1,500–3,000 kg of fully washed coffee, with a score of around 82 points.One batch u...

Each processing batch produces about 1,500–3,000 kg of fully washed coffee, with a score of around 82 points.

One batch usually takes about seven days to complete. We first dry the coffee using a mechanical dryer at around 60°C until the moisture reaches about 20%. Then we move the coffee outside and continue drying it under the sun until the moisture level drops to 12.5%, as natural heat helps the beans develop better flavors.

Our coffee drying facility is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, in an area surrounded by approximately 2,821 hectares of Arabica coffee farms and around 1,000 households.

The signature flavor profile of our region features a strong nutty character reminiscent of almonds, complemented by light chocolate notes, yellow fruit, bright citric acidity, and caramel sweetness.

Our current FOB price is 9850 USD/MT.
If you have room to discover beans from a new region, we would be very happy to share samples and explore potential cooperation with you.

For most people here, “the environment” still feels like something too big and distant to worry about.

Our coffee drying facility is in Tram Hanh ward, an area surrounded by approximately 2,821 hectares of Arabica coffee and around 1,000 households. Nearly 90% of these families rely directly or indirectly on coffee for their livelihood.

Hòa, age 30, is continuing his mother’s work in coffee processing. His extended family leases 50 hectares of land from the government on a 50–year term to grow coffee. Hòa’s household specializes in processing and domestic trading, while his relatives focus mainly on farming.

Most other surrounding families own about 1–2 hectares of coffee farmland each, and roughly half of them carry out washed–coffee processing on their own.

However, nearly all of them release their wastewater directly into the environment.

Everyone is too busy trying to survive on the daily C-market price. Local processors carry most of the risk when they buy cherries from contracted farmers, and their main concern is simply how to sell their green beans.

Small households are operating on such a small scale that they can’t invest in—or even think about—proper wastewater management.

With support from committed buyers or a funding partner, we can install five wastewater-treatment systems at key wet-processing sites and turn about 100 hectares of coffee into a sustainability model within three years.
