Vietnamese coffee culture

There are many Chinese who do not like coffee, but there are few Vietnamese who do not like coffee. Vietnamese have raised coffee drinking to a cultural level. Pei Chih-jung, a Vietnamese poet, once compared "coffee without distinction between ourselves and the enemy", which to a large extent summed up the coffee culture of the Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese also often associate coffee with the philosophy of life, such as "Coffee should be drunk while it is hot, and do not wait for it to be warmed up. At this time, the coffee will lose its delicious taste and become more bitter, so people should cherish what they have now in their lives. Let bygones be bygones. Don't worry about it and torture yourself." When some people complain, they will also say, "Coffee bitterness is made up for by sugar."

Coffee does reflect the past of Vietnam, where some French Jesuit missionaries brought coffee to Vietnam around 1860. At first they only grew coffee in the church.

Until 1920-1925, the French were surprised to find that it was so suitable for growing coffee, so they began to reclaim a large area of coffee plantations in the Western Plains.

Drip coffee was popular in France at that time, and French soldiers who invaded Vietnam were more likely to carry coffee and drip pots with them, and as Vietnam was colonized, the Vietnamese gradually accepted coffee and developed a strong coffee drinking habit.

For more than a century, Vietnam's coffee industry has developed unexpectedly by leaps and bounds, and now it has become the second largest coffee exporter in the world after Brazil, especially Robusta (Robusta coffee beans), which is made into three-in-one instant coffee.

The best coffee producer in Vietnam is Buon Ma Thuot, the central plateau province of Dak Lak, which is one of the top 10 coffee producers in the world.

Vietnamese coffee meets the world quality standard

In 2017, the price of coffee in Vietnam's domestic market has exceeded 45000 dong / kg to 45100 dong / kg, and even rose to 45500 dong / kg in some places. Judging from the coffee prices in 2016 and early 2017, the future trend of the coffee market is unpredictable.

Jonathan, general manager of Vietnam Darkman Associate, commented on the price of coffee in Vietnam, saying that at present, the price of coffee in Vietnam is relatively high, which has been rising since May 2016. at the end of 2016, the price is around 40,000 dong / kg to 45000 dong / kg.

In 2016, global coffee production declined and coffee prices rose sharply. Although Vietnam's coffee production has been reduced by the drought, exports are higher than in 2015. Specifically, in 2016, coffee exports reached 1.79 million tons, earning foreign exchange of 3.36 billion US dollars, an increase of 33.6 percent over the same period last year, and an increase of 25.6 percent.

General Manager Jonathan said that at present, the quality of Vietnamese coffee is particularly good. The quality of coffee in Vietnam has reached the world quality standard. Harvesting and postharvest treatment techniques significantly improved the quality of Vietnamese coffee.
