🇻🇳 Vietnam

Vietnam rose from a modest grower to the world's second-largest coffee producer within a few decades, with vast Robusta plantations concentrated in the Central Highlands. The bulk of its output feeds instant and commodity markets, but a growing specialty movement is pushing higher-altitude Arabica and carefully processed lots. Classic Vietnamese cups lean chocolatey, nutty and earthy, often served strong and sweetened with condensed milk. Experimentation with naturals, honeys and rarer species like Liberica is reshaping the country's reputation.
