About the Collab

  • Well, folks, hold onto your coffee cups because we’re about to embark on a caffeine-fueled adventure like no other! Our Best Ever Coffee Phin Blend is the ultimate twist on Vietnamese coffee – it’s not your grandma’s cup of joe! This blend is meticulously crafted, a symphony of 85% Robusta and 15% Arabica beans, curated to take your taste buds on a wild journey.

  • Oh, the magic lies in the details, my friends! We’ve taken this blend and infused it with the heavenly flavors of hazelnut and cocoa. It’s not just coffee; it’s a luxurious and delicious experience that’ll have even the most refined palates doing the coffee conga.

  • Alright, folks, let’s dive into the captivating world of Vietnamese coffee culture. Picture this: You’ve got a coffee-growing region that’s drenched in history, rocking a unique coffee-drinking style, and a brewing method that’s got a twist from the French colonial era. Vietnam? Yeah, they took those beans and made ’em their own. This coffee culture? It’s not just a thing; it’s a way of life that’s woven into the daily rhythm of folks from all walks of life.

  • Alright, coffee enthusiasts, we’re diving deep into the captivating history of Vietnamese coffee. This is a story that spans centuries and has left an indelible mark on the country’s culture and economy. Get ready for a Java journey like no other!

    The French Connection: It all began back in the 19th century during the French colonial era when they decided to introduce the Vietnamese to the magic of coffee. The French, being all about that coffee life, brought coffee plants to what was then French Indochina, which included Vietnam. They planted the coffee seeds in the lush Central Highlands, places like Đắk Lắk and Đắk Nông, where the climate and altitude were just right for coffee to thrive.

    Coffee’s Rise: Over time, coffee cultivation in Vietnam took off like a rocket, and before you knew it, Vietnam was one of the big players in the global coffee scene. Coffee beans were a key player in Vietnam’s economic growth. And the way they brewed it? Oh, it was like nothing else! They rocked the “phin” a drip filter that gave Vietnamese coffee that strong, bold flavor we all know and love, often mixed up with sweetened condensed milk for that extra oomph.

    The War and Beyond: The Vietnam War did throw a wrench into coffee production, but Vietnam bounced back post-war. Coffee exports played a huge role in rebuilding the nation’s economy. Then came the late 20th century, and Vietnam was all about those economic reforms, known as Đổi Mới, which included supercharging coffee production and exports. Next thing you know, Vietnam is rocking the global coffee market.

    Today’s Coffee Culture: Fast forward to today, and Vietnam’s got a coffee culture that’s buzzing with life. You’ve got coffee shops and street vendors all over the place, serving up everything from classic phin coffee to modern espresso-based creations. And don’t even get me started on the wild coffee variations – we’re talking egg coffee, coconut coffee, you name it!

    So there you have it, folks – Vietnamese coffee’s got a history as rich and complex as the brew itself. From colonial beginnings to a global coffee powerhouse, it’s a tale of tradition, innovation, and flavor that continues to evolve.

  • Alright, coffee explorers, let’s unravel the mystery of why they throw Robusta into the mix in Vietnamese coffee. Now, here’s the scoop: The Vietnamese have had a thing for Robusta ever since the French rolled it into town. Robusta’s got this bold, no-nonsense, and slightly bitter character that’s like the heart and soul of that unique Vietnamese coffee flavor. It’s like the secret ingredient that makes it all pop! So, you see, Robusta isn’t just coffee; it’s the DNA of Vietnamese coffee culture.

  • Brewing the perfect Vietnamese Phin coffee at home is as easy as pie! All you need is some high-quality pre-ground coffee and a dollop of sweetened condensed milk for that classic Sweet Milk Coffee taste. It’s like bringing the coffee shop right into your kitchen!

  • Back in the day, folks roasted their coffee super dark to iron out those flavor quirks and keep things consistent. But here’s the kicker – it resulted in some pretty robust, in-your-face, bitter coffee. So, what’s a coffee lover to do? Well, they started adding sugar to take the edge off, and eventually, they conjured up the magic of condensed milk. Now, here’s the sweet coincidence: That milk flavor dances beautifully with the bitterness, creating a smoother, mellower brew that’s captured the hearts of coffee aficionados everywhere. It’s a match made in coffee heaven!

  • Our coffee hails from two extraordinary regions in Vietnam - Đắk Nông and Sơn La. These areas are renowned for producing top-notch coffee with unique flavors and aromas. It’s like savoring a piece of Vietnam in every cup!
