Dak Lak Robusta | Vietnamese Coffee | 220g

Vietnamese Specialty Coffee | Bold & Smooth Asian Coffee

It’s unusual to find Vietnamese coffee, (especially premium Robusta,) gracing the shelves of UK specialty roasters. Dak Lak Robusta breaks that mould. Grown in the fertile volcanic soils of Vietnam’s Central Highlands, this coffee redefines what Robusta can be: bold, rich, and full-bodied, yet smooth and naturally sweet.

Vietnam is the world’s largest Robusta producer, yet high-grade, traceable lots like this are still rare in the UK. Dak Lak Robusta showcases the new wave of Vietnamese specialty coffee: robust yet elegant, traditional yet forward-thinking. It’s a bridge between heritage and innovation and proof that exceptional quality doesn’t have to mean Arabica.

Traditionally brewed through a phin filter and poured over sweetened condensed milk, Vietnamese coffee delivers a bold, rich, and satisfyingly sweet cup.

This coffee comes from a network of independent farmers in Dak Lak Province, supported by local cooperatives and progressive exporters committed to sustainable, quality-driven Robusta. The region’s rich basaltic soil, consistent rainfall, and balanced climate make it the heartland of Vietnamese coffee.

Producers here have embraced improved picking and drying techniques, moving away from bulk commodity production toward specialty-grade craftsmanship. Many farms use intercropping and shade-grown practices, helping preserve biodiversity and improve bean density. Their goal is to elevate Vietnam’s Robusta reputation by demonstrating that care, traceability, and terroir can produce coffees with remarkable flavour clarity and balance.
