Trung Nguyen Creative 3 Sparrow Arabica (Se) - 3-Pack
Select single-source Buon Me Thuot Highland Arabica, a variety grown only in Vietnam. Se means "Sparrow", the name given to this indigenously developed varietal. A sweet, refreshing coffee with no bitterness. Floral and vanilla notes; extremely versatile.
This is a 3-Pack of 12 oz bags (340 grams) for ground coffee. Total weight is ~2.25 lb of coffee. Creative 3 is not available in whole bean, sorry.
Sorry, out of stock. We will not be ordering again from Trung Nguyen until import conditions change... both canals are down and there is a dock strike pending in New York. So, until the world becomes "normal" again we suggest you try our own fresh-roast similar blend, Saigon Lam Dong, here.
More Information
The Trung Nguyen Creative Three (Arabica Se) is one of the world's most select and superior Arabica coffees. The Se stands for "Sparrow". The Sparrow Arabica is a cultivar grown exclusively in Vietnam and is noted for its mild acidity and superb balance. We often describe it as "what a donut-shop coffee wants to be when it grows up"!
If you object to the flavors in the new hybrid Arabicas, which can be redolent of licorice, lemon or barley, you will enjoy the fully old-world taste of this fine Arabica.
The Arabica Se is such a great combination of mild acidity and balanced aroma and taste that it is well suited as an all-purpose coffee, served any time of day and excellent for icing.
It's also a perfect dessert coffee, being a little sweet and wonderfully rich, so it isn't eclipsed by your Tiramisu. Iced, it should be brewed strong. It's impossible to make the Se bitter by brewing, so use it in any brewing method and feel free to double the amount of grinds or even make it Turkish-style if you begin with whole bean and grind it fine.
This coffee is also a good candidate for cold brewing, where it picks up floral tones and becomes a low-acid but flavorful coffee when used in an iced coffee concentrate.
The Se works well in any brewing method, including even basket filter drip machines.
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.

My favorite coffee
This is a true story. I had a housemate who was Vietnamese. She went home to visit her family and when she returned she brought gifts for those of us in the house. Mine was the Vietnamese coffee. I liked it so much I found Len's email and ordered it, I ordered it for myself and to serve in my Bed and Breakfast where it was always a hit! I served it for the 10 years I operated my B+B and guests often asked how they could get it too. I'm certain there are many many people enjoying the Creative 3 and thinking fondly of a stay at the Purple Gables Bed and Breakfast.
P.S. I also shared the 3 in 1 instant packets with guests.Posted by Lynda on Dec 9th 2019

I just LOVE this Coffee
I buy both beans and ground of the Creative 3. I grind the beans to fine espresso and then use I/2 find grind 1/2 pre ground in my espresso machine and it makes a wonderful cup of coffee with a great crema on top. I use whole milk but this coffee is so rich and full of flavor you can easily use any milk or just take it as it comes. Superb coffee and always a great buying experience from Len and his team. I too have an addiction to this coffee.... delicious.

Love this coffee
I first had Vietnamese coffee while was there in 2013. I loved it and then found that Len's carried it. I drink Creative 3 every day. So Len, you have to keep carrying it. Thanks,

Great Coffee
I usually can't drink regular coffee as it makes me hyper but this coffee is so smooth that I have no problems with it. I try it on friends and they become new recruits to Creative 3.

Delicious
This is my second favorite Trung Nguyen's blend, with SE being the "one." It's quite flavorful and very addicting with milk/ cream. Very glad Len's coffee carries Trung Nguyen's in the states and is very fast with shipping!

Never bitter
Love this Trung Nguyen Creative 3. Wasn't much of a coffee drinker before I had coffee in Vietnam. When I got home I went on a search for Vietnamese coffee and found Creative 3. I now look forward to a great cup of coffee to start the day. It's smooth, smells wonderful and is never bitter.

Consistently delicious
I've operated my bed and breakfast for 9 years and served this coffee consistently, for the whole time I've been in business. I consider this coffee so vital to my operation that I note serving it on my website, www.purplegables.com.

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.
