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.

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.

  1. 5 Star Review 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.

  2. 5 Star Review 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.

  8. 5 Star Review Liquid Perfection

    I love this coffee !!! Not to strong , very smooth with chocolaty overtones. I brew one cup a day in an espresso machine so I buy ground and beans and mix a scoop of each to get a perfect crema . Even the simplest of orders like mine seem to get quick attention from Len and his team. All-round a great coffee and shopping experience.

  9. 5 Star Review The Best Coffee EVER

    I am a coffee snob. I love good coffee. Vietnamese coffee is the best in the world, in my opinion, and Creative No. 3 is both delicious and affordable. I love it!

    Recently, I invited a friend over for coffee, and we drank some of the Creative No. 3. She loved it, and now she goes around telling people how great Vietnamese coffee is!
