About our prices:
Recently, Trung Nguyen's coffee wholesale prices have risen and forced us to adjust some of our own prices accordingly. But before you panic, we thought we'd mention how Trung Nguyen coffees compare to some other popular brands:
- Peets Coffee House Blend: $11.95 per pound
- Seattle's Best Breakfast Blend: $12.48 per pound
- Starbucks House Blend: $11.95 per pound
- Trung Nguyen Creative Two: $9.00 per pound
- Trung Nguyen "Buon Me Thuot Special": $7.23 per pound
The above prices were accurate as of December 21, 2011, as listed on the company's websites.
Buon Me Thuot Special
Considered a "Home Blend" in Vietnam, this special blend is a slightly milder version of the Gourmet Blend. We obtained a limited amount of this stock, usually not available for export, and for a time we were featuring it in several Western USA grocery store chains, including Winco. Since that time we have been deluged by requests for the coffee, which has a loyal following, so we are now keeping it in-stock permanently.
The Buon Me Thuot Special is a blend of Arabica, Robusta, Chari (Excelsa) and Catimor beans. In traditional Vietnamese roasting and flavor balancing style, Trung Nguyen created a trademark "every occasion" coffee with a rich, broad flavor and buttery mouthfeel, with excellent aftertaste and keeping qualities. This is a highly affordable coffee with great heritage, sophisticated balance and many hints of chocolate, fruit and nut.

Creative One - Culi Robusta
Trademark heirloom Vietnamese Robusta originally established in Vietnam in 1890 - 1922, made from select Culi (single, unsplit, peaberry) beans for richest flavor. Dark, strong, full-bodied and naturally sweet, can stand up to plenty of milk and sugar. A particularly excellent choice for iced coffee.

Creative Two - Robusta Arabica
Blend of rich, sharp Robusta and milder fragrant Arabica; one of our most popular and well-rounded coffees.

Legendee
Legendee Gold
Legendee Gold is a coffee created in the style of the classic Legendee, but with a new approach to taste and balance. Characteristics of this new coffee include an incredible natural sweetness --many customers who regularly sweeten their coffee like this coffee unsweetened-- and an acidity and aroma more typical of fine Arabicas than the original Legendee blend.
The Legendee family is one of the world's most famous branded coffees, and we are the only authorized distributor in the USA.

Classic Whole Bean Legendee
This blend features a higher percentage of peaberries and Robusta, with
correspondingly darker flavor that ices exceptionally well. Many of you
may remember the original Legendee fondly, and after fearing the coffee
would never be made again, we're delighted to have secured this supply
for you.
The Legendee family is one of the world's most famous branded coffees, and
we are the only authorized distributor in the USA.
Passiona
(Naturally Low-Caffeine)
Naturally low-caffeine selection of Arabica and Chari. Better than decaf! Comparable to black tea in caffeine content (about 1/3 the caffeine of regular coffee). Smooth, rich, low in acid but still brightly flavorful, Passiona is a favorite with our taste-testers and local customers. This is possibly the only genuinely natural (no decaffeination process) low-caffeine coffee in the world today, and it helps you reduce caffeine while enjoying a truly gourmet taste.
Gourmet Blend
Formerly known as House Blend, this is Trung Nguyen's famous Gourmet Blend of all four bean varieties, in two 250-gram foil vent bags within decorative boxes (500 gram total, 1.17 pounds). This is the traditional House Blend coffee served at over 1000 Trung Nguyen coffeehouses throughout Southeast Asia.

Premium Blend
The Premium Blend in the can is a popular home-brew Vietnamese traditional coffee, made using Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa & Catimor beans. Trung Nguyen adds natural flavorings to this blend; it is the only Creative Coffee that has an additional ingredients other than a small amount of oil traditionally used in the roasting process. It's a great coffee in perfect balance, and the flavors added (cocoa being one) are not detectable as added flavors; they seem to be very subtle.
We're sorry, but we cannot ship Premium Blend to military or non-continental addresses. Shipping Premium Blend is, in general, much more expensive than shipping a bagged coffee, due to the shape of the can.
If you like Premium Blend, but want to save on shipping, may we recommend Creative Four? Its four-bean peaberry blend shares a similar richness and complexity.

Single-Cup Coffee Brewer
-
Authentic Vietnamese café style
Although Trung Nguyen coffees brew well in regular drip coffeemakers and French presses, we also offer the Vietnamese-style Phin filter for those wishing to re-create an authentic café experience. Coffee is made one cup at a time in these single-serving brewers, usually over sweetened condensed milk, and results in an intense cup of strong, rich coffee.
