During the activities, you'll try 6 different coffee drinks (from pure black coffee to the most iconic ones with ingredients) and the stories / origins behind them. There're always reasons, background situations connected to each of the drink. You will understand more about Vietnam history through the coffee tasting, as well as the people characteristics from different parts of the country reflexes on the drinks. Coffee is not just a drink, but how it's much more important to us.

Hands-on brewing the coffee yourself. You'll get to know How to use "Phin" (traditional Vietnamese coffee dripper), together with the methods to make the iconic coffee drinks of Southern & Northern Vietnam (the "Ca phe sua" - condensed milk coffee & "Ca phe trung" - egg coffee). You'll be ready to make them at home easily with my tasty recipes/tips, an experienced QC / barista coach.

All in all, a complete picture of everything you need to know about Vietnamese coffee.

What To Expect

(One of) the first coffee experience in Saigon/Vietnam, I've been hosting for 6th year ratings at 4.99/5 from almost 800 reviews across platforms. guaranteed a rich culture understanding: - Multiple coffee drinks & stories behind them, includes history, hands-on making, tasting and comparison between traditional vs. modern style. - Tips and recipes for brewing / adjusting these yummies for your own taste. - Informative but concise, all about Vietnamese coffee, no commercial or specialty biased view. - It's not classes or training stuff, but you'll understand how brewing methods / instruments bring out each style's characteristic scientifically; not just people do this and get that. - You'll see how coffee reflects and develops together with Vietnamese culture / characteristics. - I expect as many questions as possible, I myself learned so much from the questions too, both coffee-related or not. A complete image of "what, why and how" of the coffees Vietnamese drink. I also have other experiences (a short 1.5 hour making 3 iconic drinks reflex North, Central & South; or a 4 hour TOUR across the City growth through Coffee Drinks via electric tuktuk). contact me if you're interested!
