More Information
This coffee is a gourmet's dream blend. Trung Nguyen puts together carefully selected Culi (unsplit "peaberries") from 4 different varieties. A lot of care and balancing goes into this coffee, and Trung Nguyen is rewarded by many loyal Vietnamese drinkers who proclaim this their favorite brew.
There are a lot of complex flavors in this coffee, and it also runs a little to the bitter and acid tastes, which is a plus for people who want a full-bodied coffee experience. If you like strong coffee, double up on this one and go for the gusto! In winter this is a comfort coffee, with its rich, appetite-awakening flavor and aroma.
Many restaurants and coffeeshops serve this coffee as their one, representative "Vietnamese coffee" in the Phin single-serving filter. Sometimes fans of this coffee will double it up in the small filter and drink it espresso-strength.
Culi-based coffees have an edge to them that is lost if stored in the fridge as iced coffee concentrate. Drink it fresh... and brew it right onto ice if you can. It's a sipping coffee when made strong, delightful in every taste.
At one level tablespoon per cup you get a mild but broad taste. At 1.5 or 2 tablespoons you get that intense flavor it is famous for.
As with most Vietnamese coffees, if you can control the temperature you can get different effects. At 185° brewing you accent all the extra flavor tones and the chocolate/vanilla hints. At 205° you lose those flavor tones and get a more American-style coffee.
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.

Favorite
I went to Vietnam in 2016 and tasted this coffee. It was immediate love. I have been purchasing ever since. Nothing else compares in my opinion. I love the full bodied chocolaty taste. Its delightful.

Really the only coffee you should drink
Trung Nguyen coffee is a really such a chocolate, rich pleasure every morning. I have to make it myself these days as I've moved back to the states from Singapore where there was a Trung Nguyen Coffee shop that I loved to visit for a fresh cup and a couple bags to take home.
Order a bag from Len's, you won't be disappointed (get a tin Vietnamese pour over pot too)Posted by Andy Benbow on Aug 6th 2019

Delicious!
I had been drinking the #5 but wanted to step my caffeine intake down a notch. #4 is still rich and deep and yummy and strong!

Fab TN beans
These are wonderful. So happy that Len’s been importing TN beans. We love to mix 50-50 with Mocharagua beans for our morning espresso or cap.

My Go To Coffees
Trung Nguyen Creative 4 (Premium Culi) Coffee is my first go to coffee, followed by Saigon Café Blend. These two come the closest to what a purchased at the state's department store in Saigon. Two other coffee's we also like are Brazil Adrano Volcano Coffee from Poços de Caldas and Out of Africa, Blended Arabicas

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.
