Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer, and almost none of it reaches Switzerland. These three single-origin coffees are our answer to that — medium roast (Saigon Drip goes medium-dark), named for the cities that shaped how we drink them, and made for the phin filter.

Take Saigon Drip if you like it strong and sweet, Da Lat Dawn for the balance of Robusta and Arabica, Hanoi Haze if you lean floral and light. Each comes as whole bean or in four grind sizes, in 200g, 500g and 1kg.

Buying Vietnamese coffee in Switzerland: your questions

Where can I buy Vietnamese coffee beans in Switzerland?

Here. All three coffees ship from Winterthur to any address in Switzerland with Swiss Post: 2–3 working days standard, 1–2 by express. Delivery is free on orders over CHF 60. Other options, from Asian grocery shops to cafés, are in our guide to buying Vietnamese coffee in Switzerland.

Which Vietnamese coffee should I start with?

For cà phê sữa đá, the iced coffee with condensed milk, start with Saigon Drip. For an everyday cup that works black or with milk, Da Lat Dawn. If you drink your coffee black and like it light, Hanoi Haze. More on choosing your first one.

How strong is Vietnamese coffee?

It depends on how much Robusta is in the bag. Robusta carries roughly twice the caffeine of Arabica, so Saigon Drip (100% Robusta) is the strongest coffee in our range, Da Lat Dawn (60% Robusta) sits in the middle, and Hanoi Haze (100% Arabica) is the mildest. More on Robusta and caffeine.

Whole beans or ground?

Whole beans stay fresh longest. If you don't grind at home, pick the grind for your brewer: Medium fine for the phin filter and AeroPress, Fine for espresso, Medium for filter and V60. Using a bean-to-cup machine? Here is how to set it up.

What do I need to brew it the Vietnamese way?

How long does it stay fresh?

Best within 12 months of roasting. Once the bag is open, close it tightly, keep it away from light and heat, and use it within a few weeks. How to store coffee.
