ABOUT

August's Passport takes us to the Langbiang Mountains of southern Vietnam, where Zanya Coffee is helping change the conversation around Vietnamese coffee. Founded by husband-and-wife team Marián and Lim, Zanya works with farmers throughout Lâm Đồng Province to showcase the incredible Arabica coffees being grown in a country that's long been known almost exclusively for Robusta. 

This lot comes from a single washing station in Lạc Dương District and is processed using a meticulous double ferment washed method. The cherries are sorted, fermented, washed, soaked, and then dried slowly on raised beds for up to twenty days. The result is an incredibly clean, sweet, and balanced cup. 

What surprised us most about this coffee is how approachable it is. Toffee brings a rich sweetness, honeysuckle adds soft floral notes, and tamarind gives the cup a bright, tangy finish that keeps everything lively without overpowering it.

One of the things we love most about the Passport Program is introducing coffees from places people may have overlooked. Vietnam has always been one of the world's great coffee-producing countries. Coffees like this remind us that some of its most exciting chapters are only just beginning.

The Paper Plane Coffee Passport Program

Ever dream of traveling the world, one cup at a time—without dealing with TSA, middle seats, or suspiciously expensive airport coffee? We’ve got you covered.

Each month, our roasters hand-pick an incredible coffee from somewhere in the coffee world, roast it to perfection, and deliver it straight to your door. That’s 12 ounces of adventure, no overstuffed suitcase required.

And to be clear: these coffees aren’t part of our regular lineup. They’re entirely new offerings each month—coffees you won’t find on our shelves or in your usual rotation. Just one-of-a-kind, limited releases picked by our roasting team because they’re special.

Choose Your Own Adventure
You can subscribe for a new coffee every month, or purchase individual bags as you go—perfect for those who want to dip a toe into the journey before going full globetrotter.

💡 Heads up: All the exclusive goodies come with the monthly subscription only—including the passport, stamps, and free shipping. Individual bag purchases are just that: the coffee, without the extras.

What’s in Your Coffee Travel Kit – Subscription Only:

A Fresh 12oz Bag of Specialty Coffee – Sourced from incredible farms and roasted with care.

A Coffee Passport Booklet – Your first subscription order includes a custom passport to log your tasting notes, discoveries, and potentially your deepest coffee thoughts.

A Passport Stamp Sticker – Every package comes with a custom stamp from the coffee’s region so you can collect your travels. Way cooler than fridge magnets.

Free Shipping –  Because jet lag is enough to deal with.

Exclusive Discount – Pre-pay for a full year and get 10% off.

Flexible Membership – Pause, skip, or cancel anytime. No guilt, no games.

Your next great cup is waiting. Subscribe to the Coffee Passport and start collecting delicious destinations—or grab a single origin bag and explore at your own pace.

A quick note: we won’t be offering a pre-ground option for Passport coffees.

We know that might be inconvenient for some, and we don’t take that lightly. But this program is built around the idea of exploring coffee at its peak—and that means grinding fresh. These coffees are unique, often delicate, and the flavors that make them special can start to fade quickly once ground. We want you to experience them the way they were meant to be tasted: fresh, vibrant, and full of character.

If you don’t already have a grinder, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few burr grinders we recommend across different price points:

• Baratza Encore – a fantastic all-purpose home grinder

• 1Zpresso JX-Pro – a hand grinder that punches way above its weight

• Fellow Opus – compact, stylish, and great for both espresso and pour over

• Timemore Chestnut C3 – a solid, budget-friendly manual grinder

• Baratza Virtuoso+ – a step up in consistency and grind range

Note: Yearly subscription cancellations will be refunded at a prorated amount, minus a $10 fee for the included passport booklet.
