Vietnam is known as one of the world’s leading coffee producers, and coffee is considered a true point of pride in Vietnamese culture. In daily life, “phin” coffee is more than just a drink – it’s a slow and social ritual where people sit together, wait for each rich drop of coffee to brew, and share everyday conversations.
Inspired by this unique tradition, Chillax brings you a traditional Vietnamese “phin” coffee experience in the peaceful countryside of Hoi An. Here, you will learn about the origins of Vietnamese coffee, the differences between Robusta and Arabica beans, basic roasting techniques, and the art of brewing coffee with a traditional “phin” filter. To complete the journey, enjoy “Xi Ma” (black sesame sweet soup) – a rustic local dessert that is uniquely famous in Hoi An.
