What Makes Vietnamese Coffee So Unique?
Vietnamese coffee stands apart in the global coffee scene, not just for its bold flavor, but for the culture, history, and method behind every cup. Grown primarily in the highlands of Lam Dong and Dak Lak, Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee exporter—thanks in large part to robusta beans.
What makes Vietnamese coffee unique?
- Robusta dominance: Unlike most countries where arabica is king, Vietnam specializes in robusta beans, known for their high caffeine content, bold bitterness, and chocolaty depth.
- Phin brewing method: The iconic stainless steel phin filter creates a slow-dripped, concentrated cup.
- Sweetened condensed milk: A staple in traditional recipes, like cà phê sữa đá (iced coffee).
- Cultural ritual: Coffee in Vietnam is about connection, contemplation, and often—conversation.
