Buon Ma Thuot is located in the Central Highlands, where emerald-green plantations produce more than 40 percent of Vietnam’s coffee exports, reaching over 70 countries. It’s the largest region in the world producing robusta, the other main coffee bean besides arabica.
National Geographic cited coffee experts and businesses as saying Buon Ma Thuot robusta is among the best in the world. The coffee beans are known for their strong body, amber color, high caffeine content, low acidity, intense aroma, and long sweet aftertaste.
National Geographic added that there are plenty of places to indulge. Park-like Trung Nguyen Coffee Village encompasses cafés, restaurants, and replicas of traditional stilt homes across 20,000 square meters. Inside three wooden houses, visitors sample premium roasts, such as Legend, an intense blend of arabica and robusta beans. The World Coffee Museum casts Vietnam’s role against the wider world of coffee.
