Coffee has long been an indispensable part of Vietnamese life and culture. However, few know the true origins of Vietnamese coffee and how Vietnam has become one of the world’s largest coffee exporters today.

🌱 The Journey of the First Coffee Beans to Vietnam

According to historical records, coffee plants were introduced to Vietnam by the French in the 19th century, around 1857 (Source: Coffee Economic Magazine). Initially, coffee was experimentally planted in plantations in the Northern region, then quickly spread to the Central Highlands, where ideal climate and soil conditions favored coffee cultivation.

For over 160 years, coffee has been closely intertwined with Vietnam’s agriculture and the lives of its people. Notably, the Central Highlands—with famous provinces like Lam Dong, Dak Lak, and Gia Lai—is considered the “coffee capital” of the entire country.

Today, Vietnam ranks as the second-largest coffee exporter globally 🌏, only after Brazil. Among its exports, Robusta coffee is Vietnam’s prominent strength, accounting for over 90% of its total coffee output (Source: International Coffee Organization).

🏡 From Coffee Plant to a Cup Infused with Vietnamese Identity

Beyond being an export agricultural product, coffee has also become a distinctive cultural feature of the Vietnamese people. From simple sidewalk cafes to modern establishments, the rich, traditional “phin” brewed coffee always leaves an unforgettable impression on drinkers.

In particular, iced milk coffee 🧊☕, egg coffee 🍳, and more recently, convenient freeze-dried coffee products have all contributed to enriching the Vietnamese coffee landscape, preserving original flavors while meeting the demands for quick and modern consumption.
