Coffee from Vietnam is normally presented by two main varieties: Robusta and Arabica.
The majority of coffee in Vietnam is made from Robusta beans, which are grown throughout the whole country. They contain much more caffeine than Arabica, but 60% less sugar and fats. Coffee made from Robusta is stronger, darker, harsher, and nuttier and has notes of chocolate and nut.
Arabica, on the other hand, tends to have a smoother, sweeter taste, with flavor notes of chocolate.
