Vietnamese Harmony Coffee Trio

Dive into the vibrant world of Vietnamese coffee with Cafely’s OG Viet Trio, where every sip transports you to the heart of Vietnam’s coffee culture. Sourced from the finest coffee farms in Vietnam, this collection showcases the full spectrum Vietnamese coffee has to offer. What’s included:  Sai Gon OG — Our smoothest and most balanced coffee yet. This blend shares the potency of robusta with the aromatic complexity of arabica. We even add a little peaberry just to give it some extra kick.  Da Nang — This blend is split 50/50 with robusta and arabica coffee. It has a pleasant smooth flavor, slightly lower caffeine, and notes of hazelnut, maple syrup, and a touch of citrus. It’s an excellent all-rounder and is preferred for brewing coffee in the late afternoon. Da Lat — This blend is a testament to the brighter side of Vietnamese coffee. Direct from the lush and fertile central highlands, this 100% Vietnamese high-altitude arabica showcases the diversity of flavors this unique biome is capable of. Grind it yourself with our whole bean option, or let us do it for you with the ground coffee option. All bags contain 12 oz (340 g) of premium Vietnamese coffee. For a truly authentic experience, we recommend brewing this coffee with a traditional Vietnamese Phin Filter — you can pick one up right here.

FAQs: Medium-Roast Coffee

Medium roast coffee falls right in between light and dark roasts. At Cafely, our medium roast coffees are roasted until the beans are about to release their oils (the second crack). This style of roast enhances and balances the coffee's aromatic and bold flavors — producing a coffee that's both slightly acidic but with a full body.

Medium-roast coffee generally has a slightly higher caffeine content than dark roast and slightly less than light roast. The moderate roasting time preserves many of the beans' natural caffeine content without causing it to break down (thus making the coffee weaker).

Medium-roast coffee is the most versatile choice — it can be enjoyed using any brewing method. 

If you like the bolder, more robust flavors in your coffee, opt for the traditional phin filter, moka pots, French press, AeroPress, or espresso brewing methods.

If you prefer the brighter, cleaner, more acidic flavors, go for a drip coffeemaker, pour over styles like Chemex or Hario V60, or siphon brewing instead.

Medium-roast coffee also works perfectly for cold brew coffee.

Yes, while traditionally espresso is made with dark roast coffee, medium roast coffee can also be used to make espresso, particularly for those who enjoy a lighter, more nuanced espresso flavor profile that allows the coffee's natural characteristics to be more prominent.

Store medium roast coffee in an airtight container away from light and moisture to maintain its freshness. The original packaging from Cafely is ideal as it is designed to preserve the flavors.
