BEANOGRAPHY

Sugar Mountain is our experimental filter coffee — tropical, funky, playful, and deliberately a little wild. This edition comes from Lộc Rừng in Vietnam, and it brings a profile that feels bright, fruit-saturated, and polished by careful fermentation.

Lộc Rừng is managed by Kate Nguyễn Mỹ Duyên and Leo Nguyen Thanh Long in the Dung K’No region of Lam Dong Province. They work with a small collection of local farms and focus on experimental processing, including a low-oxygen fermentation approach designed to extend fermentation at stable temperatures.

The cup is tropical and creamy, with pineapple, goldenberry, and chocolate shake leading the way. A zesty citrus edge keeps the fruit lifted, while the finish moves toward soft chocolate and stone fruit. It is adventurous without losing balance — exactly what Sugar Mountain is here to do.

PROCESSING METHOD

ANAEROBIC WASHED

In an anaerobic washed process, coffee is fermented in a low-oxygen environment before washing and drying. This controlled fermentation can intensify aromatics, build fruit character, and create a more layered cup while still preserving structure and clarity.

For Sugar Mountain, anaerobic washed processing helps intensify the tropical fruit character while keeping the cup structured. It gives the coffee its vivid pineapple-and-goldenberry energy without losing the creamy chocolate finish.

In the cup, this means pineapple, goldenberry, chocolate shake, tangerine-like brightness, stone fruit, and a creamy finish — experimental, tropical, and fun.
