I decided to try a small bag of mostly robusta coffee after a pleasant surprise at a Vietnamese restaurant.
It was, and is fantastic. It is a major flavour departure from Arabica so for those of you set in your ways, it might not be for you. The flavour is hard to describe, but the taste and aroma are very strong and immediately recognizable. The smell is very sweet and earthy. The flavour is like ... spiced stonefruit.
The restaurant served it with sweetened condensed milk and it was amazing. At home I drink it black.
If you're in for something different, worth a try.
The Sang Tao pictured above is a mix, but I can't see the ratio of Robusta to Arabica.
My non coffee drinking family who hate my coffeee say this smells really good. My 12yo daughter thought it was almost like hot chocolate.
That sounds tasty!
