A darker, bolder take on espresso with a distinctly Vietnamese soul. Saigon Espresso is a carefully balanced blend of Robusta and Arabica beans, roasted darker than Italian Espresso to deliver a full-palate, intensely flavoured cup that shines from short black all the way through to iced coffee.
Why Saigon Espresso?
Darker roast profile: More intensity and body than Italian Espresso — bold and unapologetic
Two bean blend: Robusta for strength and crema, Moka Arabica for aroma and complexity
Incredibly versatile: Exceptional as a short black, long black, iced coffee, or Vietnamese-style cà phê sữa đá
Strong Vietnamese character: The authentic taste of Saigon coffee culture in every cup
Whole bean freshness: Grind fresh for maximum crema and aroma
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Roasted coffee, caramel, subtle spice
Body: Full, rich, heavy
Flavour: Dark chocolate, roasted nuts, earthy depth
Finish: Bold, lingering, satisfying
Brewing Recommendations
Best suited to espresso machines and Vietnamese phin filters. Grind fine for espresso, medium-fine for phin. Pairs perfectly with condensed milk or ice for a classic Vietnamese iced coffee experience.
