Trung Nguyen Creative 2 Robusta Arabica - 3 Pack

Blend of rich, sharp Robusta and milder fragrant Arabica; one of our most popular and well-rounded coffees. Good hot or iced, black or with cream and sugar.

The Trung Nguyen Creative Two (Robusta Arabica) is definitely the hands-down most accessible and popular coffee served in our taste testings and Market booths. It's a wonderful blend of high-quality Arabica and heirloom Robusta. It is an "anytime" coffee, with medium caffeine, well-balanced blended taste, and as good iced as it is hot. We suspect that at one time, a blend like this was the standard approach to fine coffee served around the world, before the days of modern hybrids and confined one-species tastes.

This is a 3-Pack of 12 oz bags (340 grams) for ground coffee, 8.8 oz bags (250 gram) for whole bean. Total weight is ~2.25 lb for ground and about 1.65 lb for whole bean.

We are selling the Creative line of coffees in 3-Packs now, to be more economical for us and our customers. 

Sorry, the ground coffee is out of stock. We don't know when we will have more. Trung Nguyyen keeps raising the price, and the costs and logistics of import shipping make it impossible for us to import at this time. We suggest you try our own fresh-roast Saigon Market Blend Arabica/Robusta :-)

More Information

If you have never tried Vietnamese coffee, here is a perfect first candidate. In over 20,000 taste tests we can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people who were not enthusiastic about this coffee.

This coffee is best brewed at 1.5 tablespoons per cup, in a cone-shaped drip machine, French Press, percolator or any soak method. For some reason the coffee is not as successful in commercial machines as some of the other Trung Nguyen coffees, so we don't recommend it as a coffeehouse coffee, despite its immense popularity in home brewing. The whole bean is exceptionally flavorful, and could be experimented with if you want to use the #2 as a base for coffee specialty drinks and a house coffee.

If you are introducing a friend to Vietnamese coffee and you don't know their tastes, you can't go wrong with this balanced and delicious popular favorite coffee with a budget price. It remains our most successful coffee for inclusion in gift packages and Mini-Kits.

Allergy note: The special butter-roast process that gives Trung Nguyen coffees their unique flavor and aroma is a proprietary recipe and we cannot promise that it is safe for individuals with severe allergies to any vegetable oil, such as soy

We also can't promise it's vegan, but it is certified Halal and safe for lacto-vegetarians.

  1. 5 Star Review Simply the best!

    We tried a plethora of different coffees when visiting Vietnam and discovered Trung Nguyen. After having tried the entire lineup, the coffee line is fantastic. My favorite: Creative 2.

  4. 5 Star Review Great Coffee

  5. 4 Star Review Five stars, but...

    This is a delicious product. Even though I prefer fresh ground coffee, I don't buy the beans because the oil additive that they treat them with gums up my coffee grinder!

  7. 4 Star Review My favorite for Vietnamese style coffee

    I wouldn't want to drink only Trung Nguyen Creative 2 coffee, but for phin-brewed coffee with sweetened condensed milk, hot or cold, it can't be beat. Trung Nguyen coffee has a bit of a tang to it and an aroma that pairs nicely with the smoothness and sweetness of sweetened condensed milk. I've tried making Vietnamese-style coffee with sweetened condensed milk at home with other kinds of coffee beans. I've also had coffee at some coffee shops that was supposedly "Vietnamese-style". "Vietnamese-style" coffee that isn't made with Trung Nguyen beans is often bland and cloying. Trung Nguyen Creative 2 also works well for a strong cup brewed with a mocha pot, French press or and Aerobee press. It wouldn't be my top choice for pour-over coffee.

  8. 5 Star Review 1/2 of my family's favorite

    This, along with C5, takes top spot for our family. It is our mainstay and we always ensure that between C2 and C5, we have several pounds at any given time.

  9. 5 Star Review Unquestionably my favorite coffee

    I have been a huge fan of Vietnamese coffee since spending two weeks there several years ago. I have tried several brands since then, and this one is my favorite.

  10. 5 Star Review Best coffee ever!

    I was first introduced to this coffee in Vietnam in 2016. I loved it so much I went on a quest to find it once I got back home to the States. Len's Coffee has been my saving grace. This coffee is amazing. It's dark and bold but smooth with almost chocolatey notes. I HIGHLY recommend it.

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.
