我們的「越南羅布斯塔——未來莊園咖啡」由越南林同省高地種植的優質羅布斯塔咖啡豆精心製作而成。這是一款中度烘焙的咖啡,口感醇厚,甜度宜人,風味優雅——是您日常儀式的理想選擇。
醇厚、滑順、帶有果香——羅布斯塔精品咖啡的現代詮釋。
國家:越南 | 地區:林同省 | 海拔:約800公尺(2,600英尺)
生產者:未來咖啡莊園 (Tỏi Nguyễn)
坐落在越南中部高地的林同省,擁有豐沛的降雨、涼爽的夜晚和火山土壤——這些條件賦予羅布斯塔咖啡不同尋常的細緻風味。在未來咖啡莊園,生產者Tỏi Nguyễn運用精細的採摘和現代工藝,提升了該品種的天然豐郁。
風味描述:莓果、波羅蜜、黑巧克力。低調的風味,帶有濃郁、滑順的口感和溫和的甜味。無論是搭配牛奶的飲品或純粹的濃縮咖啡,都能展現其光彩,作為法式濾壓壺或手沖咖啡也同樣令人愉悅。
處理方式:香檳天然發酵法(精選酵母發酵)
2023年11月,我們與Tỏi Nguyễn以及我們的合作夥伴Karmic Circle Coffee在現場合作,生產了一批60公斤的咖啡豆,採用了白葡萄酒酵母菌種進行發酵。這種引導式、低氧的發酵方式使咖啡口感更加圓潤,提升了莓果香氣,並使尾韻更加精緻——這是一種源自現代阿拉比卡咖啡處理技術的精確方法,並針對羅布斯塔的結構進行了調整。今年,我們請他們再次以類似的方式為我們製作另一批。
自2004年以來,Paradise一直致力於推廣精品羅布斯塔咖啡,並與印度、厄瓜多、越南、菲律賓和泰國的生產商合作。對我們而言,「精品」並非指某個咖啡品種,而是一種過程。經過精心種植和匠心製作的羅布斯塔咖啡,能呈現出豐厚的咖啡脂、天然的甜味和持久的風味結構——尤其是在濃縮咖啡中。
濃縮咖啡(建議):20克咖啡粉→40克咖啡液(1:2),在23-25秒內萃取,水溫90-91°C / 194-196°F。預期會產生豐富的咖啡脂;萃取時流速可能看起來較快,但最終會達到杯中適當的產量。
手沖(單杯):15克咖啡粉→200克水,水溫約94-95°C / 201-203°F。
悶蒸30克水30秒,然後一次性連續注水至200克。目標總時間:1:30-1:45。(研磨度比阿拉比卡咖啡略細。)
法式濾壓壺:18克咖啡粉→300克水,水溫94°C / 201°F,浸泡4分鐘,輕柔按壓。口感濃郁、帶有可可味,且滑順。
非常適合製作卡布奇諾和拿鐵,咖啡濃郁的口感和巧克力的深度與牛奶的甜味完美融合。作為純粹的濃縮咖啡,可品嚐到成熟漿果和波羅蜜的清新風味,以及黑巧克力的基調。
Kona Coffee FAQs-Roasting, Sourcing, and Shipping

Kona coffee grows on the volcanic slopes of Hawai‘i Island, where mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and slow cherry maturation create a naturally sweet and balanced cup. Our Kona Classic Medium is sourced from high-elevation farms and hand-harvested for clarity, smoothness, and elegant sweetness.
Yes — this roast is Authentic Kona coffee made exclusively from North Kona district-grown coffees, never blended. Our Kona coffees comes from small farms at the highest altitudes in the region.
Medium roasts highlight Kona’s signature profile: gentle sweetness, soft citrus, toasted almond, and milk chocolate. The result is a balanced, approachable cup ideal for everyday brewing.
This coffee shines in pour-over, drip, and French press. Use filtered water just off the boil and a medium grind for maximum clarity and sweetness. If you are looking for a Hawaiian coffee for espresso use we recommend our Hawai‘i Island Blend
Kona is the highest labor cost coffee region in the world. Wages for farm workers here are 15-20x higher than almost all other coffee producing countries. Limited and expensive land, hand-picking, and high production costs create a naturally small supply each year — especially from high-elevation farms like those we partner with.
We roast and fulfill all of our coffee orders in Hilo, Hawai'i.
We roast in small batches using a Diedrich IR12 roasting machine.
We source an array of the top specialty coffees worldwide that appeal to an array of different palates.
If at any point you have difficulty brewing, or just appreciating one of our roasted coffees, no problem. Shoot us an email within 5 days of receiving your coffee and we'll help you find the correct brew settings for your coffee, or give you a credit (minus actual shipping costs) on your next purchase. Yep, we're a Satisfaction Guarantee coffee company!
Please note, our Satisfaction Guarantee only applies to U.S. orders of roasted coffees, and you must contact us within 5 days of receiving the coffees. Credits do not include actual shipping fees, which may be different from posted shipping fees.
We roast and ship on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
Our commitment to you is to serve exceptional, fresh-roasted coffees. And part of being exceptional means roasting before the flavors inherent in the green bean begin to fade, which happens over time.
Like apples and pumpkins, coffee is a seasonal agricultural product and each country has a different harvesting cycle in which coffees are at their peak. If we were to insist on serving a single origin all year long, the flavors in that coffee would be noticeably better one half of the year over the other. So the reason you no longer see that coffee you loved is because the optimal season has passed. For more on seasonality in coffees, see this blog post here.
Hopefully so. If it was a popular product or we receive customer requests, we will make every attempt to bring it back. However, please note that coffees from a certain producer may not taste the same year after year.
If you loved a coffee and no longer see it listed, shoot us an email and ask us what is similar. We’d be happy to provide a personal recommendation.
We aim for balance and completeness along with differentiation and distinction. You shouldn't need to be a professional coffee taster to tell the coffees a part, so, when we’re selecting coffees, we want them to be distinct from each other.
We avoid ”one-trick pony” type coffees, such as Ethiopians with great aroma but no body or acidity, or coffees with good aroma and acidity but lacking sweetness. These elements, which are often reflections of the growing conditions, are harmonized through good roasting.
And, obviously, defects — even subtle defects — influence our selection. Since we live and work at origin, we’re sensitive to coffee defects like “past crop”, pulpy, and naturals that border on over-ferment. With naturals, we’ll only carry these when great examples are available.
Our perspective on roasting is similar: we seek balance and distinction. To expect that a coffee is “best” when roasted to some pre-determined degree (i.e. only light roasting or only dark roasting) is analogous to thinking that each person would look best in the same outfit, or each coffee should be grown in the same way. We believe it’s our job to discover the roast degree which best highlights outstanding qualities in each coffee.
