Trung Nguyen Legendee Coffee (Creative 8 / Sang Tao 8)
Legendee Silver / Creative 8 is the most famous Trung Nguyen coffee, and the coffee most apt to surprise and delight tourists visiting Vietnam. Characteristics include an incredible natural sweetness. Many customers who regularly sweeten their coffee like this coffee unsweetened. Enjoy its pleasing acidity and aroma that is unsurpassed.
The Legendee family is one of the world's most famous branded coffees, and we are the only authorized distributor in the USA. Also sold under the name "Sang Tao 8", or Creative 8, in the domestic market. It is the flagship coffee of the original Creative Coffee series that made Trung Nguyen famous. Legendee is sometimes referred to as "weasel" coffee in Vietnam and we called it the Legendee Gold when it came in a gold foil package. The new design is silver and black.
Each bag of Legendee is shipped with a full-color card detailing the history and celebrity of this famous coffee.
We are sorry, we are out of stock on the Legendee. We do not expect to have it in stock again anytime soon due to the impossible costs and logistics of importing from Vietnam at this time. We suggest you try our Saigon Gold Master Blend, available in bean and drip grind.
More Information
One of the world's most famous coffees, the Legendee is a unique enzymatically-treated coffee that releases flavors bound in the beans and not released under ordinary processing. The Legendee product is largely regarded as the world's most successful attempt to produce a coffee with the balance and flavor of the famous Kopi Luwak, or Civet/Weasel coffee. Trung Nguyen worked hard on achieving a new balance of Arabica and Excelsa beans in this formula.
Tourists to Vietnam often don't consider their visit complete until they have sat in a Trung Nguyen coffeehouse and tried the Legendee brewed by the single-cup Phin filters. We get a lot of comments also that the Legendee is more available here to buy on our site for home brewing than it is in Vietnam, and at a lower cost. Sometimes sold under the name "Sang Tao 8", or Creative 8, which is the exact same coffee.
A coffee that pleases all tastes, it makes an excellent gift that is sure to impress.
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.

This is our favorite coffee - usually reserved for weekends and holidays. Not coffee better than this one! The smoothest coffee I've ever had the pleasure of drinking!

One of the best coffees
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the legendee whole bean as I had only had the pre ground before, hands down the flavor is night and day. The whole bean is much more robust and rich with delicious chocolate tones with zero acidity. This is honestly one of the best coffees I have tried and will definitely be making a repurchase from Lens.

Perhaps the best coffee on the planet
This is the coffee they serve in Heaven. I purchased the whole bean. I mix in some beans from my favorite Italian espresso roast before french press brewing.
Drinking that first sip each morning is a truly divine experience. The incredible fragrance of the beans is worth the purchase alone. An absolute must for anyone who loves dark delicious coffee.Posted by Mike on Nov 21st 2018

Beautiful Gift again
It's dark, strong and yet with a smooth sweet bitterness. I make this coffee with a little more water, even add cream, it's still very tasty and fragrant. I think if I would like to add flavor to it, Butter Scotch Toffee and French Vanila will be the best.

Beautiful Gift
Just received this Trung Nguyen Legendee Coffee (Creative 8 / Sang Tao 8) - I haven't tried it yet. "A coffee that please all tastes, it makes an excellent gift that is sure to impress"?
Yes, I like the design, will buy more for Christmas gift.

my favorite coffee
the smoothest coffee you will ever taste! not a hint of bitterness. I never use sugar, only milk. We make it in the french press and it's just PERFECT. In the summer it's great as iced coffee too! Although smooth, it's a very strong coffee, so be careful not to drink too much - it's SUPER easy to drink a lot, but take it slow, unless you're immune to coffee jitters! I cannot recommend this coffee enough! THANKS LENS COFFEE! <3

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.
