Saigon Tradition, Highland Robusta Blend
Similar in style to Trung Nguyen Creative 1 and Highlands Coffee Heritage Blend, our own fresh-roast Robusta Blend is sure to please anybody with a "back" palate who loves deep, dark, delicious coffee with high body and persistence. That chocolatey flavor you love is here in a coffee we created ourselves. All natural, vegan, premium coffee with an amazingly smooth, chocolatey, buttery profile. High in caffeine. Great hot or iced; excellent choice for making cold brew.
This new crop of Highland Robusta from Vietnam blended with Indian Organic Robusta and just 10% of Vietnamese Blue Son La Arabica! The roast level is Harlequin (Multi-Temperature) in which we roast each bean at its optimal temperature.
Select 8oz whole bean or drip grind (slightly coarse, ideal for for Phin brewing, French Press, or cone-shape drip machines and pour-overs).
More Information
Notes: Chocolate, butter, apricot, brown sugar. High in caffeine.
This is our second blend in our new line of Trung-Nguyen-inspired coffees that adhere to the original taste and quality of the Vietnamese coffee style that is taking the world by storm. We love having control over the grind... our customers enjoy brewing with the Phin, French Press and drip machines, and most Vietnamese coffees do not do equally well in all three. Our "perfect grind" will deliver an optimal 4-5 minute brewing time in the Phin and works well with press or drip machines (coarse drip is the setting).
High in caffeine due to the peaberry Robusta. It is about 180 mg per serving, about the same level as Creative 1 (an "average" cup of coffee contains about 90-100 mg, for comparison).
Contains peaberry Robusta with Arabica and natural flavor extracts, similar to the original traditional "secret" recipe of Vietnam.

Saigon Tradition Robusta Blend is tasty
I really like the dark delicious chocolate buttery flavor using my Phin ! I prefer mine with a spoonful of cane sugar, sweetened condensed milk and a little vanilla or Italian sweet creamer !

Chocolatey and delicious
This is a lovely, well balanced blend, definitely for a back palate but softer and reounder than the all Robusta beans.

My Go To Coffee
This coffee is so incredibly smooth, it became my benchmark I would use for any other coffee yo beat. No other coffee can beat it, yet! It is that smooth. A peaberry blend came close to matching and approaching the overall taste, but again came close.

như nhà
This coffee brings back good memories of a small restaurant in a small Central Viet Nam village. They roasted their own beans and this coffee is just the same. I am so happy I found this.

Smooth like Choclate
Did not know I am a back palate guy!
Did not realize Robusta is my "jam".
Rich chocolate-y, really look forward to it every morning or afternoon.
I make it with a stainless steel single serve cup kinda like K--r---g, but not. No plastic for landfills.
Tastes good and I feel good.Posted by Jörg on Oct 5th 2023

Chocolate with a kick
My partner loves coffee with chocolate flavors and this tastes great. It definitely shows how good robusta can be.

Everybody knows it's really good
This Saigon Tradition makes me home sick for a small coffee shop way up in the Viet Nam highlands. It has such a rich flavor that it makes your whole day much more pleasant.

The Araku Valley of India
India's coffee tradition goes back 400 years or more, when a variety called Kent was first established in the Southern Hills. Arabicas predominated until the blight of 1870, when growers needed to hybridize to resistant varieties. The resultant strains had genes from Liberica and other unique, resistant species.
