Vietnamese coffee and tea: creative recommendations from the competition!
The 2nd writing competition “Impressions of Vietnamese Coffee and Tea”, which took place from April 14th to May 10th, 2025, is dedicated to the international coffee and tea culture. Organized by the newspaper Nguoi Lao Dong, the competition fell under the program “In Honor of Vietnamese Coffee and Tea”. Loud Vietnam.vn Almost 200 submissions were registered, consisting of short articles of up to 400 words and video clips.
What was particularly impressive was that 70% of the works dealt with Vietnamese tea and its traditional enjoyment techniques. 30 outstanding articles were published in online newspapers and platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. These include, among other things, special works on B'lao tea from Lam Dong and western sugar tea.
Creative insights and international distribution
A remarkable video titled “A Look at B’lao Tea” was created by the writing group Do Thi Tan Son, Do Thu Hien, Truong Cong Dat and Lam Thi Thuy Duy. The submitted works conveyed inspiration and memories of the culture of enjoyment around coffee and tea. This tradition is carried on by many emigrants to countries such as the Netherlands and Japan, spreading the love for Vietnamese coffee and tea internationally.
The awards ceremony, which will take place at the end of the competition, will announce further details about the awards. The 2025 Honoring Vietnamese Coffee and Tea program is also part of a series of summer activities at Gigamall from May to August.
Variety of Vietnamese coffee
Vietnamese coffee has its own character due to its special history and preparation method. Vietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world and specializes in Robusta coffee, such as Kaffeekracker.de reported. The traditional preparation takes place using a special coffee filter, the so-called “Phin”.
The process involves several steps: First, the filter is filled with ground coffee, then hot water is slowly added as the coffee drips over the filter. Sweetened condensed milk is then added and mixed well. Particularly popular variations are Cà Phê Sữa Đá, a caffeinated drink with ice, and Cà Phê Trứng, the popular egg coffee.
The combination of strong aromas and the creamy note of condensed milk makes Vietnamese coffee a very special experience. This preparation method allows the aroma to be extracted slowly, making it a flavorful drink. Vietnamese coffee culture is characterized by its diversity and uniqueness and stands out clearly from other global coffee traditions.
