Coffee is not only an important cash crop in Vietnam, but also an indispensable drink for people's life.
When it comes to Vietnamese coffee, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Is it Kopi Luwak, Robusta, Didi pot, or the sweet condensed milk? Vietnam's coffee industry is developing rapidly, and coffee bean exports are second only to Brazil, making it the second largest exporter in the world. Coffee seeps into the daily life of Vietnamese locals and becomes Vietnam's "national drink".
The main country of production of Robusta
Vietnam is located in the east of Indo-China Peninsula, the land is narrow and S-shaped, so there is a great difference in climate. A few Arabica beans (ARABICA) are grown in the north, while the tropical climate in the south is suitable for the growth of ROBUSTA coffee beans.
Robusta is short in shape and accounts for 20% of the world's productivity, but it has become a major producer of coffee beans in Vietnam. The main reason is that Robusta is easier to grow, stronger resistance and able to resist diseases and insects than Arabica. Arabica needs to pay more attention to take care of, which is a big cost for Vietnam today.
Its bitter taste, high caffeine content, easy to cause palpitations and other problems. However, in the news reports, the Vietnamese interviewed generally thought that Arabica was insipid, while they preferred stronger coffee, which shows that Vietnamese people are very accustomed to robusta coffee.

Traditional Vietnamese coffee: condensed milk and ice cubes are indispensable
The first step in drinking Vietnamese coffee is to add a large amount of condensed milk to the cup to balance the thick bitterness of Robusta, and condensed milk is said to be used because of economic hardship at that time, unable to add milk like the French, and replace it with low-cost condensed milk.
Next, use a Vietnamese dripping cup to drip a thick liquid of coffee. This way of making coffee has become a major feature of Vietnamese coffee, which has been spread all the way to this day.
Cheap coffee to top musk cat shit coffee
Vietnamese coffee beans are abundant and exported in large quantities, but unfortunately, the quality of Vietnamese coffee is different. Vietnamese coffee has become synonymous with cheap in the international market, and the selling price is low.
So the government began to look for another way out, and Kopi Luwak is one of them.
However, Musk cat shit coffee is expensive because its production process is not easy.
The civet eats only sweet, full coffee fruit. After excretion, the digestive juice is injected into the coffee beans to help reduce the protein and bitterness of the coffee beans. In addition, the musk cat has a sachet on its anus, which produces musk when cat poop coffee beans pass through here.
