Buon Me Thuot Special

Considered a "Home Blend" in Vietnam, this special blend is a slightly milder version of the Gourmet Blend. We obtained a limited amount of this stock, usually not available for export, and for a time we were featuring it in several Western USA grocery store chains, including Winco. Since that time we have been deluged by requests for the coffee, which has a loyal following, so we are now keeping it in-stock permanently..

The Buon Me Thuot Special is a blend of Arabica, Robusta, Chari (Excelsa) and Catimor beans. In traditional Vietnamese roasting and flavor balancing style, Trung Nguyen created a trademark "every occasion" coffee with a rich, broad flavor and buttery mouthfeel, with excellent aftertaste and keeping qualities. This is a highly affordable coffee with great heritage, sophisticated balance and many hints of chocolate, fruit and nut.

Creative One (Culi Robusta)

Trademark heirloom Vietnamese Robusta originally established in Vietnam in 1890 - 1922, made from select Culi (single, unsplit, peaberry) beans for richest flavor.Dark, strong, full-bodied and naturally sweet, can stand up to plenty of milk and sugar. A particularly excellent choice for iced coffee.

Creative Two (Robusta Arabica)

Blend of rich, bold Robusta and milder fragrant Arabica; one of our most popular and well-rounded coffees.

Creative Three (Arabica Se)

Select Buon Me Thuot Highland Arabica. Se means "Sparrow", the name given to this indigenously developed varietal, grown only in Vietnam. A sweet, refreshing coffee with no bitterness. Floral and vanilla notes; extremely versatile.

Creative Four (Premium Culi)

Blend of culi (single, unsplit) beans of Arabica, Robusta, Chari and Catimor. Strong, deep, dark and complex. The quintessential coffeehouse favorite, and Trung Nguyen's proudest traditional multi-bean blend.

Creative Five (Culi Arabica)

Hand-selected culi (single, unsplit, peaberry) Arabica beans from Buon Me Thuot Highlands for intense and complex 100% Arabica multi-source flavor. Fragrant, smooth, yet with a dark edge from the peaberries; a gourmet choice.

Passiona (naturally low-caffeine!)

Naturally low-caffeine selection of Arabica and Chari. Better than decaf! Comparable to black tea in caffeine content (about 1/3 the caffeine of regular coffee). Smooth, rich, low in acid but still brightly flavorful, Passiona is a favorite with our taste-testers and local customers. This is possibly the only natural (no decaffeination process) low-caffeine coffee in the world today, and it helps you reduce caffeine while enjoying a truly gourmet taste.

Legendee Gold

Legendee Gold is a coffee created in the style of the classic Legendee, but with a new approach to taste and balance. Characteristics of this new coffee include an incredible natural sweetness --many customers who regularly sweeten their coffee like this coffee unsweetened-- and an acidity and aroma more typical of fine Arabicas than the original Legendee blend.

The Legendee family is one of the world's most famous branded coffees, and we are the only authorized distributor in the USA.

Classic Whole Bean Legendee

It's back! We're proud to announce the triumphant return of the original Legendee Whole Bean. This blend features a higher percentage of peaberries and Robusta, with correspondingly darker flavor that ices exceptionally well. Many of you may remember the original Legendee fondly, and after fearing the coffee would never be made again, we're delighted to have secured this supply for you.

The Legendee family is one of the world's most famous branded coffees, and we are the only authorized distributor in the USA.

Gourmet Blend

Formerly known as House Blend, this is Trung Nguyen's famous Gourmet Blend of all four bean varieties, in two 250-gram foil vent bags within decorative boxes (500 gram total, 1.17 pounds). This is the traditional House Blend coffee served at over 1000 Trung Nguyen coffeehouses throughout Southeast Asia.

Premium Blend

The Premium Blend in the can is a popular home-brew Vietnamese traditional coffee, made using Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa & Catimor beans. Trung Nguyen adds natural flavorings to this blend; it is the only Creative Coffee that has an additional ingredients other than a small amount of oil traditionally used in the roasting process. It's a great coffee in perfect balance, and the flavors added (cocoa being one) are not detectable as added flavors; they seem to be very subtle.

We're sorry, but we cannot ship Premium Blend to military or non-continental addresses. Shipping Premium Blend is, in general, much more expensive than shipping a bagged coffee, due to the shape of the can.

If you like Premium Blend, but want to save on shipping, may we recommend Creative Four? Its four-bean peaberry blend shares a similar richness and complexity.

Espresso

This deep, smooth espresso is a blend of refined Arabica and rich Robusta, and the roast is in the traditional Vietnamese style: deep, but never burnt. A number of prize-winning Italian espressos have patterned their formula after this espresso, and use the very same peaberry Robusta beans for full body, lower acidity, and exceptional crema. Vietnamese gourmet Robusta is a well-kept secret of Italian espresso producers, as disclosed in a recent memoir written by a consultant to the industry.

Trung Nguyen espresso is temporarily unavailable. We recommend our own exclusive Indochine D'annam Espresso - click here to learn more.

Single-Cup Coffee Brewer
- Authentic Vietnamese café style

Although Trung Nguyen coffees brew well in regular drip coffeemakers and French presses, we also offer the Vietnamese-style Phin filter for those wishing to re-create an authentic café experience. Coffee is made one cup at a time in these single-serving brewers, usually over sweetened condensed milk, and results in an intense cup of strong, rich coffee.
