What is the difference between regular coffee and Vietnamese coffee?
Vietnamese coffee is different from regular coffee in a few ways. They brew their Vietnamese coffee in Vietnam with medium-to-coarse ground dark roast French Roast. The result is an incredibly strong and aromatic cup of joe that packs a punch where it counts — flavour!
How is traditional Vietnamese Coffee Made?
Vietnamese coffee is traditionally made by boiling the strong dark roast brew in a small metal drip filter over a flame. The coarse ground French press, soaked in water for about ten minutes, is then put on top of the Vietnamese coffee and sweetened condensed milk to create an unforgettable taste experience!
Why does our Va Va Viet drink taste so good?
One of the reasons our Va Viet drink is so tasty is where we source our Vietnamese coffee. We order it from a supplier in Vietnam because they are experts at what they do and only use the highest quality beans for their product, which results in an incredible cup of joe!
Our second reason for the drink’s deliciousness is that we use condensed milk to make it. This combination may appear odd, but it is a typical component of this Vietnamese drink. Condensed milk gives the drink a bit of sweetness and helps to round out some of those bitter coffee tones for an overall smooth taste.
Our third reason for the drink’s deliciousness is the ratio of condensed milk to coffee to ice. The Vietnamese coffee recipe calls for more condensed milk than regular hot coffee, which is why this concoction is so sweet. The blended ice adds the next level of textures and makes this drink extremely smooth and creamy. Flavour-wise, the Va Va Viet tastes precisely like the traditional! We at Toronto Pho try not to stray too far from traditional recipes in this regard because we want you to get the taste you’re expecting every time!
Does Vietnamese coffee have more caffeine in it than regular?
Vietnamese coffee has a higher caffeine content than other forms of coffee. This is because the French Roast beans used to make Vietnamese coffee have been roasted longer and darker, producing more caffeine as a result. So if you want a drink with a little more punch, try our very own Va Viet, where we take the traditional Vietnamese recipe and add in some inspiration from Toronto for a nice treat!
