Notes: Candied apple, dark chocolate, floral, warm spices & grapefruit. Origin: Vietnam, Gia Lai, 800 masl Producer: Mr Quang Junior, Tamba Coffea: Canephora Variety: Robusta TR4 Process: Anaerobic Natural Siêu Sao is a Vietnamese Robusta. Let us rephrase that. Siêu Sao is one of the best Vietnamese Robustas. It has been produced by Mr.Quang Junior, a pioneer that saw the opportunity to change things. His processing station is located in the central highlands of Vietnam in the province of Gia Lai. At Tamba Coffee the entire production is in their hands. The production is executed precisely and systematically. This allows the coffees to be of excellent quality year after year.  The Quang family is very close to the local tribes such as the Jarai. Since he was 14 years old, Mr.Quang spent time in the Jarai villages teaching math, physics and Vietnamese to the children. In the process he also learned over 20 tribal languages of the various ethnic minorities in the Vietnamese highlands.  His son is continuing his legacy while bringing more emphasis on sustainability. The farm has already been granted the Rainforest Alliance and is in the process of being certified organic. Tamba already has a water waste treatment plant where they recycle all the water used for coffee processing and stopped using chemical pesticides and herbicides some years back too. The farm covers 200 hectares and boasts biodiversity.  Tamba represents a new way of doing things for Vietnamese robusta farmers based in sustainability, inclusivity and high quality production.  Siêu Sao is one of Tambas special lots. Translated to English it means “Superstar”. It is a reference to the star on the Vietnamese flag of course, but more than that, they named it Siêu Sao because it is their best lot for which they use meticulous sorting techniques and high end processing. This lot was processed using an anaerobic natural process of which details Mr.Quang likes to keep to himself. Regardless of what magic happens behind closed doors, it resulted in a coffee that consistently scores in the high 80s during Q grading which confirms its high flavor potential. It is both high in sweetness and elegant malic acidity that make this an extremely easy to enjoy cup.
