Through Coffee: Vietnam
Many people don't know that Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee exporter, just after Brazil.But even more interesting is how coffee in Vietnam has become a way of life, not just a drink.
For a long time, Vietnamese people brewed coffee using a traditional Phin filter, letting it slowly drip into the cup.This method originated during the French colonial period, when fresh milk was scarce.To make coffee creamy and flavorful, people began adding condensed milk, creating a rich, bittersweet taste.On the streets, you'll often see locals sitting on low plastic chairs, enjoying an ice coffee while chatting slowly-coffee as a ritual, not a rush.
Today, more and more young Vietnamese are using coffee machines at home, experimenting with new ways to enjoy coffee.Vietnam's coffee culture is evolving, moving from street-side tradition to a modern lifestyle experience, connecting with global coffee trends.
Coffee lets us see a country's history, culture, and way of life.
In Vietnam, every cup tells a story.
