Why Is Vietnamese Coffee Different

The French brought coffee to Vietnam in the 19th century, and after theVietnam War, the government instituted a massive coffee    production program which became the second-largest coffee producer in the world as well as a huge part of daily Vietnamese life.

Robusta is almost twice as much caffeine (2.7% by weight instead of 1.5% Arabic coffee), 60% less lipid (fat) and sugar than Arabic coffee, so its taste is stronger and irregular than regular coffee. This coffee is also rich in antioxidants (7-10% chlorogenic acid and 5.5-8% arabica).

Unlike Arabica coffee is smooth and easy to drink, Robusta coffee is often compared with burnt tires, it has a rubbery taste, and has a strong, long-lasting aroma and increased acidity. For many Vietnamese, robust power is the best choice.

The Vietnamese like their coffee to be delicious and slow. It’s almost always drip-filtered. Filtering and timing is an art in itself. Filtered coffee is very strong, and coffee beans are often roasted deliberately, which makes it bitter. Filter coffee is a way for Vietnamese to conduct and enjoy conversations. The strong aroma drink and some iced beans bring a different unique taste. It can be enjoyed with condensed milk and is a natural ally that maintains a strong aroma.

Served with sweetened condensed milk, which provides the perfect counter balance to the incredibly strong, dark-roasted Vietnamese coffee is also famous for its incredibly sugary, sweetened condensed milk. 

They drink coffee throughout the day at cafes, outdoor coffee shops, indoor coffee shops or casual street-side coffee stalls where people of all ages gather.
