Frequently Asked Questions

In addition to Vietnam being the second world largest coffee producer , We choose coffee because of the fascinating differences between coffee cultures in Vietnam and in the United States.  Just like many of you, we, too, used to be coffee consumers with little knowledge of the process leading to a good cup of coffee. We now know that brewing the perfect cup of coffee requires understanding the relationships between coffee bean processing, milling, grinding and brewing methods and equipment. Having learned about this fascinating process, we wanted to bring this awareness to the consumer
