Description / Overview |
||||||
|
Coffee was introduced to Vietnam by the French in the late 19th century but the country quickly became a strong exporter, as vast swathes of the highlands were given over to this important new cash crop. And now the Vietnamese have taken coffee to new levels of almost gastronomical – even medicinal – heights. At Trung Nguyen Coffee – the Vietnamese equivalent of Starbucks, with a chain of cafés across the city – the coffee menu stretched to five pages. The vibe was studiously chic, with low-slung sofas and Seventies retro branding in orange and brown. Fellow patrons were largely beatnik-inspired youths and businessmen. Coffee is taken seriously here, with beans from Italy, Japan, Turkey and Ethiopia, but it was the varieties of Vietnamese coffee that deserved more exploration. They came with different bean combinations and recipes, and lofty names such as “Success”, “Creation”, “Discover” and “Thought”. Order the classic Vietnamese coffee known as ca phe sua da
– literally “coffee, milk, ice”. It comprises strong coffee, dripped from a
small metal filter into a cup containing a quarter as much sweetened
condensed milk, then stirred and poured over ice in a glass. |
