What makes it special?

Hanoi Bloom redefines what Robusta can be. Carefully fermented to unlock vibrant tropical fruit notes and natural sweetness, it offers a brighter, more expressive cup while preserving the rich body that makes Robusta so distinctive. 12 oz bag, whole bean coffee.

Hanoi Bloom

A bold, balanced cup for those who enjoy strong coffee and love exploring unique flavors.

Roast Story

We chose a medium roast to better highlight the sweetness of ripe fruit and the tropical notes hidden within the Robusta beans. This roast profile also gives you more flexibility to explore different brewing methods and recipes, while still preserving the bold character that makes Robusta so distinctive.

Modern Process

Using an anaerobic fermentation method with 2% salt, the coffee develops a richer natural sweetness while bringing out cleaner and more vibrant fruit notes from the ripe cherries themselves. Hanoi Bloom was previously ranked among the Top 14 Robusta coffees in the world — and we believe its distinctive flavor will win you over from the very first cup.

Any last questions?

What is Fine Robusta?

Fine Robusta is the specialty grade of Robusta coffee. To qualify, it must score 80 points or above under the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) standards, with strict requirements for ripe cherry selection, minimal defects, and exceptional cup quality.

Is anything added to make it taste fruity?

No. The fruit notes develop naturally during fermentation. We don't add sugar, fruit, flavorings, or artificial ingredients—only coffee cherries, careful processing, and time.

Does fermented coffee taste sour?

Not necessarily. Fermentation is used to develop more flavor, not to make coffee sour. Hanoi Bloom is designed to stay bold and balanced, with gentle tropical fruit sweetness.

Can I brew it as a pour over?

Absolutely. While many Robustas shine as espresso, Hanoi Bloom also performs beautifully as a pour over, revealing more of its fruit-forward aroma and layered sweetness.

What brewing methods do you recommend?

Hanoi Bloom is incredibly versatile. It performs well in:
- Espresso
- Vietnamese Phin
- Moka Pot
- Pour Over
It also makes an excellent cold brew thanks to its chocolate sweetness.

Why is Fine Robusta more expensive?

Producing Fine Robusta requires significantly more care—from selective hand-picking of ripe cherries to controlled processing and strict quality grading. It's a completely different approach from commercial Robusta.

Is Vietnam known for Fine Robusta?

Yes. Vietnam is the world's largest Robusta producer and is now leading the rise of Fine Robusta. More producers are focusing on quality over quantity, showing the world that Vietnamese Robusta can compete with the finest specialty coffees.

Will this upset a sensitive stomach?

Not usually. Like any new coffee, your body may need a little time to adjust. If you have a sensitive stomach, start with a smaller cup or enjoy it with milk for your first brew.
