this medium roast comes from son la, vietnam, processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. that retained sweetness shows up clearly in the cup: red apple and jasmine on the lighter end, moving into brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb in the middle, and finishing with milk and dark chocolate. the medium roast keeps the fruit and floral character intact without pushing into heavy body territory. it suits pour-over or drip brewing, where clarity and sweetness can develop evenly. grind medium, use water around 93°c, and keep your ratio close to 1:15 to 1:16.
