Vietnam - the world's coffee destination.
In the late 19th century, coffee plants were introduced to Vietnam, and subsequently flourished most in the Central Highlands, especially in Dak Lak – the “coffee capital” – with the renowned Buon Ma Thuot coffee brand. Having existed and developed for over 100 years, Buon Ma Thuot coffee has strongly expanded its reach to more than 100 countries and territories, affirming that Vietnamese Robusta coffee is the best in the world.
