VietBeans has been offering specialty coffee, accessories, teas and spices from Vietnam since 2017. Vietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world.
Through a partner living in Vietnam, we are in direct contact with our coffee farmers . This way we know exactly where our coffee comes from.
We want to make Vietnamese culture and lifestyle accessible in Europe. First and foremost, we offer our customers authentic and traditional Vietnamese coffee preparation as a slow-down and enjoyment technique as a ceremony for home or at work .
We want to establish Vietnamese coffee with its chocolaty taste and high caffeine content as an alternative to South American and African coffees.
We build long-term customer loyalty through exciting, high-quality specialties that we package as cultural experiences – such as the lotus tea ceremony or the traditional cooking of Pho.
Our guiding values are partnership and social justice .
- Using a traditional roasting and refining method, our coffee gets a chocolatey taste
- Increased caffeine content through the use of Robusta beans
- Grown by smallholders in mixed cultures with shade trees (mango, banana, cashew, tamarind)
- Roasting just before the boat sets off – fresh coffee arrives in Germany
- Natural fertilizer from coffee residues: pulp from coffee production as well as rice and soybean husks
Irrigation from nearby water reservoirs- Arabica beans from Cầu Đất, in the highlands of Đà Lạt with the highest quality – grown at 1,600 to 1,900 meters above sea level
- Robusta beans from the fertile volcanic soils around the city of Pleiku in Gia Lai province in the central highlands of Vietnam – grown at 800 – 1,000 meters above sea level
- Cherries are only picked when fully ripe and exclusively by hand from fully grown coffee bushes (up to seven meters high)
- Drum roasting in small batches: 14 – 20 minutes at 200 – 230 degrees Celsius – roasted at origin. This allows for optimal development of around 800 aromas while reducing the tannic acid content
- Roasting locally means a greater share of added value in the country of origin.
