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.

At Last...
I prefer a strong, dark roast with a smooth finish and this coffee absolutely delivers! I had ordered ground because beans were out of stock. Can't wait to have the beans to grind myself for use with my espresso machine instead of french press. Will continue to order this coffee!

Best Coffee in the World
I absolutely love this coffee. I prefer a strong and dark roast. This is just right with a smooth finish.
The expense means that I use it only on special occasions. Sunday morning before church.Posted by Unknown on Sep 25th 2017

Kopi Luwak Sang Tao 8
Tasted kopi luwak before and this product comes close to it. The chocolaty taste is nice on the palette.

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.
