    About This Tour

    Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer. Until five years ago, almost none of it was specialty grade.

    That is changing fast. We take you inside the roastery leading the change.

    You'll see green beans from three different highland farms, watch a small-batch roast in real time, and cup all three side-by-side.

    By the end you'll taste the difference altitude, processing, and roast level make on a single farm's beans.

    Most tours stop at the cafe. We go to the roastery.

    You see, smell, and cup the beans before they reach a cafe.

    The head roaster runs the session personally.
