• 6 different coffee drinks

During the activities, you’ll try 6 different coffee drinks (from pure black coffee to the most iconic ones with ingredients) and the stories / origins behind them. There’re always reasons, background situations connected to each of the drink. You will understand more about Vietnam history through the coffee tasting, as well as the people characteristics from different parts of the country reflexes on the drinks. Coffee is not just a drink, but how it’s much more important to us.
Hands-on brewing the coffee yourself. You’ll get to know How to use “Phin” (traditional Vietnamese coffee dripper), together with the methods to make the iconic coffee drinks of Southern & Northern Vietnam (the “Ca phe sua” - condensed milk coffee & “Ca phe trung” - egg coffee). You’ll be ready to make them at home easily with my tasty recipes/tips, an experienced QC / barista coach.
All in all, a complete picture of everything you need to know about Vietnamese coffee.
