How to incorporate Vietnamese coffee into your cafe / restaurant

Much like offering small batch coffee or artisanal blends on a limited time basis, you can also offer specialty Vietnamese coffee on rotation as part of your coffee program. In doing so, you can emphasize the single origin element of the coffee as well as the bean type – robusta.

There are several ways of incorporating Vietnamese coffee into your menu. Here are some of our recommendations:

1. Brewing Vietnamese coffee through a V60 pour over, espresso or on drip
2. Making seasonal cold brew with Vietnamese coffee
3. Incorporating a Phin Brewing Bar onto your menu
4. Creating a special drink that utilizes Vietnamese coffee beans

Vietnamese coffee is delicious and amazing. Those reasons aside, there are several practical reasons you should put Vietnamese coffee on your menu:

1. It’s strong – robusta coffee has nearly twice the caffeine content as arabica
2. It’s bold – robusta coffee has nutty and chocolatey flavors which many consumers prefer as it pairs very well with milk and sugar.
3. It celebrates cultural diversity – Vietnam is the second largest producer of coffee in the world and that alone deserves to be known!
4. It’s sustainable – robusta coffee is more pest resistant than arabica and can grow at a variety of temperatures and altitudes. With climate change, arabica yields are being drastically affected so it’s important to showcase the future of coffee to consumers now.
5. It’s unique – with a direct trade relationship, we currently one of the few roasters who are able to provide our specialty Vietnamese coffee, which allows your business to offer a unique & differentiated coffee experience.
