Truong Lam Home Blend
This is a quintessential Vietnamese house blend like a visitor might find at a sidewalk café in any Vietnamese town. It's a blend of multiple coffee species, like most of the best Vietnamese coffees, containing Buon Me Thuot Highlands Arabica, Robusta, (on the label it says 'Cherry' but this is a transliteration of Chari, which is their word for Excelsa), with the delightful addition of Moka, a variety of Arabica with petite beans and a naturally chocolatey taste. The roast is a deep butter-roast, and the flavor is quite sweet, dark, and very full, with a pleasant bitter edge. It's especially good iced with milk and sugar in traditional Vietnamese iced coffee style.
As with all traditional Vietnamese "butter roast" coffees, some natural extracts, butter oil and a touch of salt and sugar are most likely used in its preparation. Generally "butter roast" does not necessarily mean butter, it is sometimes a vegetable oil for stability. So we cannot vouch for whether this product is Vegan or not. For guaranteed Vegan products, you may want to try our Saigon Blends line, which we create ourselves and know is 100% Vegan.
500 gram (1.17 lb) bag, ground for Phin filter, French Press, cone-shaped drip machine and pour-over.
We are running low on this product. We hope to place a new order soon if the logistics world will offer us a shipping fee of less than $17,000, lol. Meanwhile we have to limit the number of bags per customer so more customers can still get some. Very sorry!

Great for Blending
I find it too sweet on its own but by mixing it with our regular Vietnamese ground coffee it makes an excellent cup

Dark, Rich and Full-bodied Coffee
Truong Lam is a strong, densely flavored, complex coffee that ranks among the best of the Vietnamese
brands.Posted by Joey on May 28th 2021

Just like Vietnam
We had this amazing chocolatey smooth coffee at a small roadside cafe in rural Vietnam, and we bought everything they had. Back in the U.S., we spent a long time chasing a coffee like it. This is it: beautiful, cocoa like, smooth. There is nothing else like it.

Singaporean kopi at home
I was looking for a butter roasted robusta coffee that, along with some condensed milk, might come close to the kopi we enjoyed in Singapore. This is it. The phrase "deep, dark, and delicious" was never more apt. Chocolaty.

Amazing coffee
This is the best coffee I have ever had! I've search so long to find vietnamese coffee like I had in Saigon and Truong Lam is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for supplying it!

Excellent
Since we were in Cambodia and tried Vietnam coffee with chocolate taste, we were searching for this coffee everywhere and couldn't find it. And after reading reviews, I gave a chance to Truong Lam Home Blend. It's awesome. It reminds me of the chocolatey coffee that I tried in Cambodia. It has NO added sugar, it's a "secret" recipe of Vietnam.

I love chocolate
Truong Lam is one of my favorites. It's part coffee, part dessert. A little goes a long way.

Tastes like there is unlisted sugar added
The ingredients list does not mention either (it says four bean varieties, butter, and salt), but one sip should convince anyone that Truong Lam has added cocoa and sugar to the grounds in addition to who knows what else. It tastes good, of course, but the obvious disparity between listed ingredients and apparent ingredients has me very concerned.

Super deep and dark
Wow, great stuff here. Rich, smooth, sweet and DARK. I usually drink my coffee black, and I had to scale back the amount of coffee I put into the brewer otherwise it was way too strong. With a bit of cream, it is truly delightful.

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.
