Product Description
We love the aroma, flavor and unique preparation style of good quality Vietnamese coffee. It's just slightly lighter than a French roast, and smooth not acidic. The premium quality coffee is grown and roasted in Vietnam, and ground to the appropriate coarseness, so you know you're getting the real thing. It's also vacuum packed in a modern can. Trung Nguyen Premium Blend is distinguished by being a blend of three different bean types and a small touch of cocoa, and "spices", as listed on the ingredients. It is Arabica, Robusta and Excelsa, otherwise known as Chari. We also offer the Vietnamese Coffee filter to make this delicious coffee, Simply click Other products by ImportFood.com above to view our other products.

 Addicted to this coffee July 8, 2008
Now that I know how to prepare this coffee I am addicted. It has a very strong flavour, and mostly is prepared with ice. The trick is adding almost equal amounts of coffee to hot water. Filter, then sweeten with condensed milk, or sugar and add to a cup full of Ice. It's a brave person who doesn't add some sugar. It can be drunk hot but for the non initiated iced is a very nice introduction.
 pretty nasty tasting stuff December 13, 2007

coffee, is wifey and my favorite hobby we utilize most of the known ways of preparing it and we scour the net and shops for the perfect bean. i recognize that most of our likes come from what we grew up tasting and drinking, so our coffee tastes are compared to folgers or butternut, however we have made an effort to expand our coffee palettes over the years. that said i prepared the coffee using a Vietnamese coffee filter system and it was not drinkable, i tried using the chemex system which usually yields a mild result and still no good. french press, nope. next step is a cold brew which often makes the worst and cheapest beans drinkable, if that doesnt work, i'll give the can to my brother in law, he will hate it but not admit it because he thinks he is a sophisticated drinker of exotic coffees i give him all my nasty beans. lol.
i watched a program put on by illy on creating good beans (actually my favorite espresso bean is lavazza super crema) anyway they talked about a bean they called a 'stinker' thats a bean that if it finds its way into the blend will ruin the blend. i have found beans like that they have a cheezy smell to them. it could be possible that my can of trung nguyen had many 'stinkers' oh well, do keep in mind that when it comes to taste, whether its food, recipes, or coffee and its infinite varieties of preparation, what makes me gag, may be another persons absolute favorite.
try it for yourself, one can wont break you, if you dont like it you could use it to sepia stain your black and white photographs or i'll give you the address of my brother in law.
 Improper representation August 28, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
While this coffee is an excellent coffee, it is not properly described. It is represented as "all-Arabica" and "light."
Trung Nguyen Premium Blend is distinguished by being a blend of three different bean types and a small touch of cocoa, and "spices", as listed on the ingredients. It is Arabica, Robusta and Excelsa, otherwise known as Chari. It is not a light coffee, it is quite strong, like most Vietnamese coffees.
This seller does not understand the product or list the proper ingredients, and I suggest that buyers look elsewhere for the proper representatives of the product on the Internet. Trung Nguyen products do have authorized Internet resellers that feature proper descriptions and pricing.
It is not acceptable for a seller to misrepresent the major ingredients of a product to the buying public. Particularly on a product that also has non-coffee ingredients. Buyers who may have allergies should be aware of the ingredients.
Surprisingly Good !! April 9, 2007

I never thought of Vietnam as a point of coffee growing. But on second thought, why not..it's very close to Indonesia and they have some wonderful brews. And the same is here! This is very smooth with a low acid taste. So it will roll across your tongue and not leave an after bite. There is even a hint of chocolate in the taste-very surprising! For me this is one of the more unusal island-type coffees I've ever tasted.A good find and nice to drink. A further note,if you go to the Trung Nguyen website, they sell a Vietnamese single cup coffee maker real cheap. It's sort of a cross between a french press and a melita single drip cone. If nothing else it's fun.
 First non-domestic coffee purchase November 16, 2006

The products arrived just as described and in a timely manner. The coffee was purchased as a gift for a Vietnamese person in our neighborhood. I will gladly re-order in the future when the need arises.
