Smooth, enjoyable coffee…
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a very smooth, mellow coffee. Not bitter and very little acid. Incredibly easy to drink. While I usually use cream, not with this - no need. Avoid if you like dark bitter coffee - you will be disappointed. Brewed with a 17:1 water to coffee ratio (by weight).

Excellent Choice for Espresso!
Flavor Name: Dalat
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Fresh roasted specialty coffee delivered fast and well-packed. This coffee produces an excellent crema and wonderful nutty full flavors while miraculously and naturally lower-than-typical on the caffeine, so I can make several for my wife throughout the day. Easily worth the price!

It's a different flavor and takes getting used to. But it's pretty yummy
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
CoWorker asked if I'd tried Vietnamese coffee and I said "no". He said it's reported to be higher in caffeine but richer in flavor. I don't know about the caffeine, but the flavor is definitely different. It takes a minute; as a long-time coffee drinker, it is unexpected. It's earthier, deeper, more
... chocolatey is what my brain suggests. It's good.

Great Vietnamese style cup!
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been messing around with Vietnamese style coffee lately and have been looking for some better beans than Cafe du Monde. I believe I have finally arrived at my destination. This coffee arrived quickly and is obviously super fresh. (Huge bloom when I brew it.) The beans are roasted a bit lighter t
han French roast; no expressed oils. I personally think that’s the darkest ideal roast level so I’m very happy there. Beans are fairly low on aroma. Bit of chocolate and the graham cracker note mentioned on the bag. I brewed them 12:1 using my V60 Switch, with a 50% initial dose of water, followed by a 3 minute rest, and then the rest of the water added after draining that first dose. This creates a strong short cup, similar (I hope) to the output from a phin. Aroma is still a touch subdued in the cup but I think the overall flavor is great. Chocolate, some tobacco/leather, more of those graham notes. Combined with condensed milk, a delicious treat. To be clear, this coffee tastes quite a bit cleaner than Cafe du Monde. If you love the chicory flavor you may be disappointed here. But I really like this one! Enjoy! Update: watch out for this stuff; it’s strongly caffeinated! I usually drink two cups of arabica each morning, each brewed with 23g of beans. One 16g cup of this stuff feels far more powerful than both of those combined.

Robusta bean from vietnam
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
In general I like this bean. It makes a coffee indistinguishable from arabica beens commonly available here. It grows in wet climates. It is kind of expensive considering that it comes in a small bag. The type of bean does not affect the taste.

Tase? What taste? Worst Coffee I've Ever Tasted!
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've a coffee drinker since my teens. I also lived in a coffee capital: Seattle for 16 years. I won't say I'm a coffee snob ... but I know what I like. I sure to like Indo-Pacific and African beans. Especially dark roasted. In all my years I had never tasted Vietnamese coffee. Figured it was about ti
me. I brewed my first pot Hanoi Peaberry Robusta: Dark Roast with high expectations. My first mistake: high expectations. Coffee tasted flat, no acidic tingles on my tongue, just tasted muddy, with no discernible "notes". Just tasted like mud. Flat. High Priced. Indiscernible-nothingness. But I sure did get a caffein buzz! Worst part? You can't return it. You can't even get an Amazon return/refund. Which I ALWAYS am able to. WAS able to. It seems Amazon has become more stringent with their return policy. In trying to get a refund, I was passed off to another "refund department" and was asked if the package was damaged or dated. No for both. "Sorry. Those are the only conditions I can refund the price of the coffee beans." WHAT???? In ALL my years as an Amazon Prime member this year was a returns turning point—for the bad. Might be time to let my Prime membership lapse & stop using Amazon altogether. Amazon becomes more & more greedy every year. Prime membership increase last year. And this year they want $2.99 more for ad free Amazon Prime Video. So for my exorbitant Prime Membership fee I'm now losing a feature that WAS free & Amazon is making returns harder. Thanks for being concerned about your customers, Amazon! Sorry for the rant ... Coffee still stinks!

Go for pure robusta, it's the best
Flavor Name: Hanoi
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I first tried Nguyen's "Loyalty" arabica/robusta blend and found it enjoyable for iced coffee but underwhelming for hot. I then found the 100% robusta "True Grit" at my grocery store, however, and completely fell in love with it. Pure robusta beans have a very unique taste and, for me at least, are m
uch much better uncut by arabica. True Grit has a chocolatey taste that's dense and complex, while Hanoi, which I just got here on Amazon, is just straight up good strong coffee of the sort you'd normally drink out of a styrofoam cup. FWIW, I'm full on keto so I drink it black, no sweetener, and it's fantastic. Also, I would not want to discourage anyone from using the phin filter - I got one from this same company and recommend it - but I get my best results from a Hario V60, and have had good results from my Kalita and French Press. The only method I would not recommend is Chemex, since the filters seem to remove some vital something-or-other and accentuate the bitterness a bit too much. In any case, if you're an adventurous coffee drinker, be brave, put away the blends and go for straight robusta. It's great!
