Robusta or Arabica?

Robusta and Arabica are coffee varieties with different flavor profiles. Robusta typically offers more intensity, body, and a distinct coffee taste.

Why is Robusta used in Vietnam?

Vietnamese coffee culture is built around strong coffees. Robusta is particularly well-suited for phin brewing and for serving with sweet condensed milk.

Which one should you choose?

If you enjoy strong coffee, robusta-based Vietnamese coffee is worth trying. If you appreciate a milder and more aromatic profile, Arabica might be a better starting point.
