These coffees are mostly blended with robusta coffee and destined to local cafes and neighboring China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years producers have started to focus more on quality production for the specialty market and we are starting to see some very impressive coffees coming out of this country\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Dalat Dark Roast is a roast of washed Catimor variety from from Vuong farm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Vuong Farm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 12 hectare farm at 1360-1520 masl in Lam Dong province not far from the town of Dalat.
