XLIII Specialty Coffee

your first sip of xliii's da lat highland arabica hits different than the robusta most hanoi cafes push. this roastery knows vietnamese beans deserve better treatment. the highland arabica carries chocolate undertones that unfold slowly on your tongue, nothing like the bitter punch you expect. xliii treats each batch like they're handling silk, coaxing out sweetness that makes you forget coffee was ever supposed to be harsh. the warehouse smell alone stops conversations mid-sentence.
