I spent 2 weeks in Vietnam in November 2023 and have been yearning for more good robusta since I left Saigon with 5 lbs of coffee as a souvenir. This True Grit is every bit as amazing as anything I got in Hanoi or Saigon and I don't have to fly for 23 hours to get it.All the rumours about robusta being bitter are false if you dial in your brew. This is meant to be brewed fast and strong, like through a phin setup. I ran mine through my espresso machine for a 2:1 shot over 35 seconds at 195° and it was divine. Nutty, dutch chocolate, red raspberries. Kind of like a peanut butter Oreo. I'm a fan for life!

This is alright coffee, very very mild flavor, has just a subtle hint of peanut notes here or there. I have been trying in vain to replicate the type of iced coffee one gets from a Vietnamese restaurant for a while now but it has always been missing something. Admittedly I am still not there yet, but this has definitely got me one step closer. Up until now all attempts have been with Arabica-based blends, this was my first experience with 100% robusta beans and this bean type is definitely the way to go and clearly a major component that makes Vietnamese coffee so different. That said, my complaint with this specific coffee is that it seems to be a little too lightly roasted. In fact it might be the most lightly roasted coffee I have ever had, period. I threw away several beans from the bag that were still a light green color. I don't know if this super light roast was intentional or maybe I just got a bad bag or something, but for my tastes at least, it kept me from rating it higher. This coffee is at its best when consumed black and hot, it doesn't seem bold enough to stand up against sweetened condensed milk that is usually added to Vietnamese iced coffee. I bet this stuff would be fantastic with a little darker roast.

The coffee is a bit on the expensive side, but the flavor and quality are excellent. The robusta beans were roasted to perfection and had a smooth, not bitter taste. I will recommend it and repurchase.

Very dissapointed with this coffee. It arrived in a bag that was no sealed, upon opening the coffee beans were dried out and after grinding and brewing a pot, the cofee was weak and almost tastelessBecause of Amazon's "no return" policy I wasted my money on this bad coffee, Don't waste your money buying this coffee!

very balanced flavor. did not brew a typical phin filter. still, a smooth rich cup. try it.

Coffee is hard to write a review on, as everyone has different taste. I personally really like this coffee and it goes really well with condensed milk. I feel like it has its own very distinct taste. I would love to purchase a tiny one cup variety pack of every coffee. This company has just to try them all. Unfortunately it gets a little expensive trying to buy $20 bags for every type. Great coffee though.

As French Press robusta coffee it is crisp and clean very good
