The Vietnamese like tea, but they prefer coffee. The taste of coffee accustomed to by the Vietnamese is quite different from that in Taiwan. In Taiwan, the best-selling coffee is always made into lattes with milk, or American style, and many people even think that American coffee is "black coffee." it's a refreshing drink that can be gulped down. For Vietnamese, Vietnamese coffee is a necessity, a social product, and the beginning of the day.

"Vietnamese Coffee" as strong as wine

Vietnamese coffee is not a variety of coffee beans, but a way of drinking coffee. Use drip-type coffee utensils, mostly using the heavily roasted, bitter Robusta Robusta beans, served with condensed milk and granulated sugar (if you don't think it's sweet enough), mix well with ice cubes, and a refreshing cup of Vietnamese coffee is done. It's fine if you don't drink it with ice. The taste of Vietnamese coffee is very "strong". With the sweet taste of condensed milk, the bitter, nutty and earthy taste of Vietnamese coffee will rush up against your throat, just like drinking a glass of spirits, strong and strong, and your eyes will suddenly open wide. Then shout happily. Now if you go to a Vietnamese restaurant or coffee shop to order "Vietnamese Coffee", you may serve Vietnamese coffee that has already been made, or Vietnamese coffee dripping from the material. You can ask the clerk in advance, or show the clerk the photo of this article directly. Let the other person know what kind of coffee you want.

Most Vietnamese must have a cup of Vietnamese coffee when they get up in the morning. When you go to a coffee shop, although you sometimes drink tea, the focus is still coffee. You have to sip a cup of coffee slowly, and you can't drink a cow with a strong taste. You can sip and chat at the same time. This is the most common social life in Vietnam.

"Vietnamese coffee" has become a unique way of drinking coffee. You can see it in Vietnamese restaurants and cafes. Tong Cheng says Vietnamese coffee or Vietnamese milk coffee, but it should be noted that this milk mostly refers to condensed milk rather than Taiwan's "latte" drinking method. The taste of Vietnamese coffee has something to do with Robusta Robusta, a good variety of coffee beans with high yield. In the early days, Vietnamese people could drink coffee mostly from the inferior Robusta Robusta beans, which tasted too bitter and choking, so they covered it with a lot of condensed milk and sugar, creating a heavy taste of "Vietnamese coffee". Until now, after Vietnam has been able to produce high-quality coffee beans and tea, this drinking method is still very popular and has become a characteristic of Vietnamese culture.

But not all Vietnamese like it. For example, there is a coffee shop in Ho Chi Minh City that wants to make Vietnamese fall in love with boutique coffee.
