Once known as the “invisible village” for its dense layers of mist, Dung K’no – Lac Duong is where Loc Rung was born - from a deep love for the Central Highlands and the belief that the coffee grown here deserves greater recognition and care.

At over 1500 masl, surrounded by the pristine Bidoup forest, the K’Ho community lives in harmony with the land and its rolling coffee hills. Loc Rung works directly with local farmers, paying better prices and supporting cultivation for consistent quality. For Loc Rung, sustainability is not only about planting trees or producing clean coffee, but about nurturing the connection between people, land, and forest. As new shoots emerge in the woods, so too does hope - as both nature and community grow together.

Carbonic Maceration is a fermentation method inspired by the wine industry. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are washed, pulped, and fermented inside sealed tanks filled with CO₂. This stage lasts for 96 hours before the mucilage is washed off with water and the beans are dried on raised beds.
