Description

Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just starting your journey, this workshop offers a flavorful deep dive into some of Vietnam's most iconic coffee styles!
Join us for a unique coffee workshop in the heart of Hanoi, where we delve into the rich coffee culture of Vietnam through 6 distinct and delicious styles: Black Coffee, Brown Coffee, Egg Coffee, Coconut Coffee, White Coffee, and Salt Coffee. Each type has its own story, blending local traditions with global coffee trends.

1. **Black Coffee**: Vietnamese black coffee is typically brewed using a "phin" filter, a small metal drip filter that produces a strong and concentrated coffee. It's often made with robusta beans, which are more bitter and have a higher caffeine content than arabica beans.

2. **Brown Coffee**: It's one of the most popular variations of Vietnamese coffee. The condensed milk adds a creamy and sweet contrast to the strong and bitter coffee.

3. **Egg Coffee**: Discover Hanoi’s legendary "Cà Phê Trứng", a velvety coffee made with whipped egg yolk, sugar, and condensed milk. This creamy, dessert-like drink is a must-try for every coffee lover, offering a rich, custard-like experience that blends beautifully with the bitterness of robusta coffee.

4. **Coconut Coffee**: Dive into the tropical flavors of **Coconut Coffee**, a refreshing blend of strong black coffee and creamy coconut milk. Learn how this vibrant and exotic concoction combines the richness of Vietnamese coffee with the sweetness of coconut, creating a smooth, refreshing beverage that is perfect for hot weather.

5. **White Coffee**: Unlike its Western counterpart, Vietnamese **White Coffee** (Bạc Xỉu) offers a balance between robusta’s bold bitterness and the sweetness of condensed milk. Explore how this simple yet sophisticated combination makes for a perfect, well-rounded cup that’s beloved throughout Vietnam.

6. **Salt Coffee**: A lesser-known but rising star in Vietnamese coffee culture, **Salt Coffee** blends sea salt with milk foam and coffee for a surprisingly harmonious mix of sweet, salty, and bitter flavors. Learn the art of balancing these elements to create a memorable and unique coffee experience.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience in brewing and crafting each type of coffee while learning about the cultural significance and techniques behind each cup. From the frothy richness of egg coffee to the delicate balance of salt coffee, this workshop is an immersive journey into the heart of Hanoi's vibrant coffee scene.
