Vietnam Quang Tri

Unique, sweet, wild, and different—that is this Liberica variety coffee. Expect high sweetness, low acidity, a dense body, and an intense flavor profile. Notes of durian, jackfruit, vanilla, and strawberries await you.

Syrupy texture and exoticism

Due to its specific character, Liberica behaves quite differently in the cup depending on the chosen method:

• On filter: A dense and aromatic coffee dominated by strawberries, coconut, and the specific sweetness of stevia.

• On espresso: An extremely intense experience with a syrupy texture reminiscent of herbal liqueur, coconut milk, and exotic durian.

A rarity making up just 1% of global production

While everyone knows Arabica and Robusta, Liberica is a true unique find with origins in Liberia. Today, it is mainly grown in Malaysia and surrounding countries.

• Return to the spotlight: Long considered lower quality, modern procedures have turned it into a star of coffee competitions.

• Origin: Our lot comes from the Quang Tri region of Vietnam and is a blend of production from five families involved in the ambitious 96B project. Since 2021, this company has been pushing the boundaries of specialty Liberica all the way to the World Barista Championships.

Precise 120h anaerobic process for a tropical profile

The unusual taste is the result of extremely controlled processing, to which 96B pays maximum attention:

1. Anaerobic fermentation: The cherries rested for 120 hours in sealed containers without oxygen, which "locked" intense tropical notes into the coffee.

2. Slow drying: This was followed by 30 days of drying on shaded beds until the beans reached a moisture content of 10.8%.

Barista's tip: How to best enjoy Liberica?

This is not an everyday coffee; it is a flavor experience.

• As an experiment: Add just 10% of this coffee to your regular espresso. You will be surprised at how dramatically the sweetness and texture of the entire cup changes.

• Pure espresso: If you decide on 100% Liberica, we recommend using a coarser grind and a higher water ratio (larger yield) so its intensity can develop correctly.
