Think of coffee and you will probably think of Brazil, Colombia, or maybe Ethiopia. But the world's second largest exporter today is Vietnam.
Like most places that produce coffee, coffee is a mainstay of the local diet in Vietnam, and a coffee culture exists despite its lack of visibility on the international stage.
Travelers coming to Vietnam are always craving for the strong taste of the famous Vietnamese coffee, like visiting Japan to experience tea culture. In Vietnam, coffee is more than a beverage; it’s a way of life.
The people here know how to drink, to appreciate and take the coffee culture as an integral part in their daily life. Here in Asia, we do not see many countries like that.
In Vietnam, the heartbeat of coffee production is found in the vast Central Highland. There are numerous large producers here, most notably Trung Nguyen, Vinacafe and Highlands Coffee.
The way that coffee is roasted, brewed and enjoyed in Vietnam is different from the rest of the world.
Before, during and after work, Vietnamese people often take a cup of nau (coffee with condensed milk) or den (black coffee).
If you’ve never tried Vietnamese coffee before, your first time will be surely memorable due to the strong, liquor-like flavor.
