Trung Nguyen Coffee Shop
Welcome to the Trung Nguyen Coffee Shop!
Trung Nguyen is the best-selling brand of coffee in Vietnam, with 1000 coffeeshops throughout Southeast Asia. Travellers returning from Vietnam often remember their Trung Nguyen cafe experience and long to recreate it.
Their coffees include the Creative Coffees line of carefully blended coffees roasted in authentic Vietnamese deep butter-roast, plus the incomparable Legendee and the unique, naturally low-caffeine Passiona. If you are trying to recreate your Vietnamese coffeeshop experience, you may be looking for their Gourmet Blend in the decorative box, as it is the house blend served in all their shops.
Creative One - Culi Robusta
Trademark Vietnamese Robusta, made from select Culi (single, unsplit, peaberry) beans for richest flavor.
Creative Two - Robusta Arabica

Select Buon Me Thuot Highland Arabica. A sweet, refreshing coffee with no bitterness.

Blend of culi (single, unsplit) beans of Arabica, Robusta, Chari and Catimor. Strong, deep, and dark.

Hand-selected culi (single, unsplit, peaberry) Arabica beans from Buon Me Thuot Highlands for intense and complex flavor.
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
It's back! We're proud to announce the triumphant return
of the original Legendee Whole Bean. 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.

Passiona
(Naturally Low-Caffeine)
Naturally low-caffeine selection of Arabica and Chari (not de-caf). 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 foil vent bags within decorative boxes. 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.
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 have obtained a few cartons and will sell them while supply lasts.
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 fruit and nut.
