Chloé Cà Phê Reserve Series — Sunstone Anaerobic Honey Java Coffee Beans | Lạc Dương, Lâm Đồng, Việt Nam

Technical Sheet

Every stone has two faces. Obsidian is the Vương family's Java at its deepest — dark, dense, and layered. Citrine is the same coffee turned toward the light: the brighter, juicier sister, cut from the very same trees on the very same hillside in Lạc Dương.

A decade ago, Anh Hiệp and his brother inherited their parents' modest smallholding and made a decision most farmers in the region wouldn't: instead of chasing volume, they replanted for elevation. They committed the farm to high-altitude Arabica — specifically Java and THA1, two varietals that reward patience at 1,400 MASL — and built a processing facility designed around one idea: controlled fermentation, done with precision. Nothing enters their tanks that isn't peak-ripe; hand-selected cherry is the family's standard practice, not their marketing.

Their standards reach beyond the cup. The brothers employ a significant portion of the surrounding Kơho community — one of the highland ethnic groups whose history is woven into Lâm Đồng's coffee culture — which is exactly why Vương Family Farm anchors our origin tour. What they promise, you can walk the rows and verify.

Where Obsidian takes the natural path — whole cherries, full fruit contact, maximum depth — Citrine follows the honey road. After harvest, the cherry skin is removed but the golden, sugar-rich mucilage is left clinging to the bean, and the lot is sealed into oxygen-free tanks to ferment slowly and evenly. The bean drinks in the sweetness of the fruit without being buried under it. The result splits the difference between a washed coffee's clarity and a natural's syrup: honeyed sweetness up front, juicy stone fruit through the middle, and a clean, sparkling finish that Obsidian deliberately leaves behind.

Same family. Same mountain. Same varietal. Two completely different stones — and together, the clearest lesson in what processing alone can do to a coffee.

Best Ways to Brew

This Java is built for methods that let its juiciness shine:

Pour Over (V60 / Kalita): The definitive cup — maximum clarity for the stone fruit and candied citrus to unfold layer by layer.

Drip Coffee: A bright, honeyed, effortlessly clean daily brewer that makes the morning feel lighter.

Espresso: For those who like their shots vibrant — expect a syrupy-sweet body with a juicy, citrus-tinged finish, gorgeous in a cortado.

Collect the Pair: Brew Citrine beside Obsidian and taste one farm, one varietal, two philosophies — the rare chance to isolate exactly what process does to a cup.
