Meet The Farmers
The Coffee Bean Journey
Welcome to the heart and soul of SAIGONDAN, where we embark on a remarkable journey through the enchanting coffee farms of Da Lat, and Buon Ma Thuot and other parts of Vietnams coffee farm country, to bring you Vietnam's finest coffee beans.
From Seed to Flower
Our journey begins with a tiny coffee seed, nurtured in the fertile soils of Saigondan's favorite Đà Lạt, AKA The Paris of Asia and other small towns of Vietnam. Here, amidst the rolling hills and lush landscapes, coffee trees flourish under the Vietnamese sun. As they mature, delicate coffee flowers bloom, painting the fields with their sweet fragrance, promising the birth of something extraordinary.
From Flower to Cherry
These blossoms transform into cherries, a vibrant red, signifying the peak of ripeness. Handpicked by skilled local farmers, each cherry is a testament to their dedication and expertise. It's a meticulous process, ensuring that only the finest cherries make the cut.
Harvesting
Discover the meticulous process of hand picking coffee cherries at the peak of ripeness, a crucial step in achieving the distinct flavors of our beans.
Picking the Perfect Cherry
Our commitment to quality means selecting only the cherries at their absolute best. Ripe cherries are handpicked, one by one, by the caring hands of our dedicated farmers. It's a labor of love that guarantees the unparalleled flavor in every cup of SAIGONDAN Coffee.
Processing
Once harvested, the cherries go through a careful processing journey. They are expertly pulped and processed to extract the precious beans hidden within. These green coffee beans, with their distinct flavor profiles, are the essence of our craft.
From Perfect Cherry to Fermentation Excellence
In our pursuit of excellence, SAIGONDAN understands that the journey of coffee beans doesn't end with cherry picking. It takes a skilled and dedicated farmer to oversee the crucial fermentation process, a step that defines the distinct flavors of our coffee.
The Art of Fermentation
After the cherries are handpicked at their peak, they undergo a meticulous fermentation process. This transformative stage is an art form in itself, and our farmers are the artists.
Pulp Removal and Fermentation Tanks
Once harvested, the cherries' outer pulp is carefully removed, revealing the precious coffee beans within. These beans, still encased in mucilage, are then placed in fermentation tanks, where the magic begins.
Constant Attention to Detail
Fermentation is a delicate dance between time, temperature, and expertise. Our diligent farmers know that every moment counts. They monitor the tanks, ensuring that the beans are exposed to just the right amount of oxygen and warmth to coax out their hidden flavors.
The Importance of Timing
Timing is crucial in this process. Our farmers pay unwavering attention to the beans, frequently checking their progress. They rely on their senses and experience to determine the exact moment when fermentation has reached perfection.
Flavor Development
During fermentation, the mucilage surrounding the beans naturally breaks down. This crucial step in flavor development imparts unique characteristics to each batch of SAIGONDAN Coffee. The balance of acidity, sweetness, and body is achieved through the farmer's careful orchestration.
Natural Sun-Drying
Once the desired flavors are achieved, the beans are meticulously sun-dried on raised beds, further enhancing their depth and complexity. The Vietnamese sun plays its part in this final stage, adding its warmth and character to the beans.
Mastering Fermentation for Exceptional Coffee
In the world of coffee, the fermenting tanks are where science meets art, and our farmers are the custodians of this craft. Their unwavering commitment to quality and their constant attention to detail result in the exceptional coffee you hold in your cup.
We invite you to savor the results of this labor of love, as you experience the rich and distinctive flavors that define SAIGONDAN Coffee, fine coffee of Vietnam.
Roasting
Our master roasters in Saigon receive the green beans from our coffee farms and work their magic. With years of experience, they artfully roast the beans to perfection, unlocking their unique flavors. We believe in preserving the essence of our coffee beans, bringing a touch of the Vietnamese spirit to every roast.
Packaging and Shipment to America
