Vietnam Robusta

We came back from a trip to Vietnam recently and thanks to the large phin filter we got, we got through our souvenir coffee in no time. Thankfully I came across Coffee Roast Lab and their 5lb bag of Vietnam Robusta beans. The order was processed and shipped quickly and the beans arrived fresh soon after. The coffee's nice and strong. We've only made the standard coffee with condensed milk so far, but can't wait to try making all the different coffees we tried there like egg, coconut, and salt coffee!

Pretty close to what we might typically drink in Hanoi until, except for the heavy roast in the dark. The roast almost overcomes the natural cocoa notes. Still, we’re glad we found it. We just ran out of the Vietnamese Robusta we brought back from our last 6 month stint. We will order medium roast next time. Hopefully that will do the trick. Really looking forward to that naturally sweet and chocolatey taste of pure Vietnamese Robusta.

English translation: Extremely high-quality third-wave coffee that produces an incredible crema (thanks to the Robusta) when brewed as an espresso, with admirable balance and smoothness, and absolutely no fruity or acidic notes. Wow!
