Coffee was first introduced to Vietnam in 1857 by French missionaries. Nowadays, Vietnam has become the second largest coffee producer in the world, after Brazil. Over the years, coffee has become very popular in Vietnam, and now it's a drink for everyone. Older people drink coffee in the early morning to start the day, officer-workers drink coffee in the middle of the day to get more energy, and teenagers drink coffee in the evening while hanging out with friends. Vietnamese coffee is a "must-try" drink for tourists!
Here are some suggestion:
- “Phin” cafe or Drip-filter coffee: this is the signature drink and first call for tourists if they want to try Vietnamese coffee. You can add sugar or condensed milk and ice to your taste.
- Egg coffee: born in the North of Vietnam during the 80s due to the lack of condensed milk. However, the creamy, dense, frothy foam floating on top of the cup made this drink quickly reach the young generation and become the best seller in all coffee shops.
- Coconut coffee: This is the drink for people who don't like strong coffee. A mixture between black coffee, coconut milk, fresh milk, and condensed milk to create a perfect drink that can cool you down in the heat of the summer.
- Salted coffee: the newbie in the coffee industry in Vietnam but it has left a strong mark especially among teenags in Vietnam. It's a salty flavour mixed with sweet and bitter touches to create a crazy taste!
