Coffee wood, sun-cured.

Daklak Province is the coffee belt of Vietnam — three hours west of the coast, a thousand meters up, red volcanic soil that grows ninety percent of the country's robusta beans. Coffee farms there prune their trees every few years to keep the canopy producing. The branches that come down are hardwood, dense, slow-grown, and historically burned as cooking fuel.

We buy them. The branches go to a workshop in the same province where they're cut to size, sun-cured for two months to drive out moisture, sanded smooth, and SGS-tested for residue, mold, and density before they ship. The certificate is product-specific — only the coffee wood line carries it; we don't extend the SGS claim to other materials.

What dogs do with coffee wood: they gnaw. The wood is bitter enough that they don't try to eat it whole. Tiny shavings come off, the dog swallows almost none of them, and the surface sands itself down. Most chewers will work a single piece for two to four weeks before it's small enough to retire. No splintering, no resin, no smell.

We carry three sizes — small, medium, and large — plus an olive wood line from the same supplier. Olive wood is denser still — for the dogs that go through coffee wood in a week.

— Loc, our supplier in Daklak, has been growing and curing this wood for eleven years. We've been buying from him since 2023.
