Traditionally drink Vietnam iced coffee
Coffee, particularly Vietnamese iced coffee, is the drink of leisure in Vietnam. Coffee is meant to be sipped and pondered by the Vietnamese. If you travel through the streets of Vietnam, you will quickly see a large number of people sitting and conversing with friends, occasionally sipping Vietnamese iced coffee.
Taste of Vietnam iced coffee
When it comes to drinks, one thing that cannot be overlooked is the taste, and the taste of Vietnamese iced coffee is as unique as the style in which it is consumed. Robusta coffee beans account for 97 percent of total coffee production in Vietnam, and because of their abundance, this type of coffee bean is used to make the majority of Vietnamese iced coffee. Robusta has twice as much caffeine as Arabica, as well as more acidity and bitterness. These properties, along with the drip brewing method, result in a flavor that can be described in one word: “robust,” just like the name of the raw ingredient. “Den Da” is the name given to this pure coffee with a powerful flavor (Vietnamese black iced coffee). Aside from “Den Da,” another popular method for preparing Vietnamese iced coffee is to utilize condensed milk. This ingredient, by chance, turned out to be ideal for coffee brewing.
What makes Vietnam iced coffee special?
Each component of traditional Vietnamese iced coffee has a unique narrative to tell and a position in Vietnamese coffee culture. They’ve met and mingled through the course of history to create a one-of-a-kind drink with several meanings. The Phin, famous Vietnamese Robusta coffee, and sweet condensed milk, which is optional, are the three distinct components of real Vietnamese iced coffee. Other types of coffee beans, brewing methods, and sweeteners are perfectly acceptable because they serve to meet varied demands. However, such coffee cups cannot be termed real Vietnamese iced coffee because the taste has altered, and they are now coffee cups designed solely for drinking. Despite the development of well-known coffees like Cappuccino and Latte, Vietnamese iced coffee still exists and plays a crucial part in the experience of Vietnamese coffee culture.
