A Deep Dive into Vietnam's Coffee Culture: A Must-Do Workshop in Hanoi - I recently attended the coffee workshop at the Local Beans Roastery in Hanoi, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The workshop offers an immersive journey into Vietnam's rich coffee heritage, led by a knowledgeable teacher who effortlessly combines his expertise in coffee with deep cultural insights. Vietnam, being one of the largest coffee producers in the world, has a fascinating coffee culture that is intricately tied to its history. The workshop not only covered the technical aspects of coffee-making but also delved into the historical significance of coffee in Vietnam, particularly how the French introduced coffee during the colonial period, and how it has evolved into a staple of Vietnamese daily life today. The hands-on experience was exceptional, allowing us to truly understand the complexities and subtleties of coffee. The teacher’s passion and experience were evident as he guided us through the process, making it accessible and engaging for everyone. What made the experience even more special was the emphasis on locally-produced coffee, which adds a unique flavor that you won’t find elsewhere. The culinary aspect of the workshop was equally impressive. We were treated to a delicious lunch that complemented the coffee tasting perfectly. The meal featured fresh, local ingredients, showcasing the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. If you’re planning a visit to Vietnam, this workshop is a must-do. It’s a unique opportunity to dive deep into the country’s coffee culture and gain a richer understanding of its history and traditions. Highly recommended for coffee lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike!

Love egg coffee - Very interesting workshop. Lots of information about the varieties of coffee and the different ways it can be prepared as well as the significance of coffee to Vietnam’s history, culture and economy. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone, even if you don’t really like coffee! Two of our party didn’t really drink coffee before, but we were all converts to egg coffee after this.

Amazing workshop! - We had such a lovely time learning about coffee with Lyon who is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We made a total of 5 Viet coffees and there were just incredible! I highly recommend anyone visiting Hanoï to do this workshop so they can learn about the Vietnamese coffee culture while learning a new skill (and drink lots of their own coffee!)!
