Material/Composition: Vietnam coffee beans are primarily harvested from the robusta variety (Coffea canephora), although arabica (Coffea arabica) is also cultivated in smaller quantities. Robusta beans are known for their higher caffeine content, thicker crema, and a more bitter, earthy flavor compared to arabica beans. The beans are green when raw and turn a deep brown upon roasting. Vietnamese coffee is often processed using a traditional method that enhances its distinct taste. Visual Characteristics: Raw robusta beans are oval-shaped, with a straight, central crease. After roasting, the beans become dark brown and develop an oily sheen. The aroma of roasted beans is robust, with earthy and nutty notes. Main Application: Vietnamese coffee is widely used in various traditional coffee beverages. The most iconic preparation is "cà phê sữa đá" (iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk), where the strong, brewed coffee is combined with sweetened condensed milk and ice. Another popular preparation is "cà phê phin," which involves brewing coffee using a traditional drip filter called a "phin." Additionally, Vietnamese coffee is used in culinary recipes and desserts, such as coffee-flavored cakes and ice creams. Historical and Cultural Significance: Coffee cultivation in Vietnam began in the late 19th century during French colonial rule and has since grown to make Vietnam one of the largest coffee producers in the world. Coffee holds a significant place in Vietnamese culture, with unique preparation methods and a strong coffee-drinking tradition. Preservation and Handling: To maintain freshness and flavor, coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Whole beans should be ground just before brewing to preserve their aromatic oils and flavor. Roasted beans should be used within a few weeks for the best taste experience.
