The Vietnamese coffee scene is quite unique, in which people live and breathe. Coffee shops are as common in Britain as bars, but in Western culture, coffee is considered a ritual from morning to day, while in Vietnam, people drink coffee without hesitation from day to night. I don't know if this will lead to sleepless nights, but the main lesson I got from it is that it is an important part of life in Vietnam. In addition, as the world's largest exporter of Robes Tadou (though not my favorite), Vietnam plays an indispensable role in the Vietnamese economy.

Coffee was first introduced to Vietnam by French colonists with coffee beans, but later Vietnam began to consume coffee itself. It's not just coffee beans, Vietnam is the home of many specialty coffees, from handmade Vietnamese coffee filter called "Phin", Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, Kopa Luwak coffee (my bad idea of it can be found here), and Vietnamese egg coffee.

Although Vietnam's fertile land and tropical climate make it an ideal place to grow coffee, egg coffee was actually born in Vietnam's difficult past and a population with few resources. Because of the difficulty in obtaining basic rations such as milk, a key ingredient of traditional coffee, beaten egg yolks were later used as a substitute and combined with condensed milk, starting the trend of the ultimate egg coffee.
