Your guide to Vietnam green coffee beans for home roasting

  • How to roast coffee beans from Vietnam?

    Vietnamese Robusta coffee is known for its bold earthy flavour and high caffeine content. Because Robusta has less natural sugar than Arabica, it’s often roasted dark to reduce bitterness and bring out deep, nutty and chocolatey notes.

    In Vietnam, darker roasts are celebrated and often paired with sweetened condensed milk to balance the coffee’s strong taste. If you’re roasting Robusta at home, aim for a dark roast to enhance its rich flavours and body—perfect for creating a blend with sweetness and depth.

  • What is the history of Vietnamese coffee?

    Vietnamese coffee traces its origins back to the mid-1800s when it was introduced by French colonists. By the early 1900s, robusta coffee varietals had taken root in the country’s Central Highlands, laying the foundation for what would become a global coffee powerhouse.

    A pivotal moment in the history of Vietnamese coffee came with the economic reforms of 1987, which opened the country to international trade. These changes propelled Vietnam onto the world coffee stage, transforming it into the second-largest coffee producer globally. Today, Vietnam supplies approximately 40% of the world’s robusta beans, making it a cornerstone of the global coffee industry.

  • How to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home unlocks their unique flavours. You can use a stovetop popcorn maker, oven, or home coffee roaster. Preheat your equipment and keep stirring the beans to ensure an even roast.

    Listen for the cracks during roasting—these signal the different roast stages. A light roast highlights fruity, acidic notes, while a darker roast brings out bold, rich flavours. Once the roast is just right, cool the beans quickly to preserve their taste.

    The key is to experiment until you find a roast that you love. For more tips, visit our blog: How to start roasting coffee at home: all your questions answered!
