Käytännönläheinen tutustuminen vietnamilaiseen kahviin ja kulttuuriin

Kahvipajassa vietnamilainen kahviharrastaja Joey antoi meille yksityiskohtaisen selityksen vietnamilaisen kahvin lajikkeista, käsittelytekniikoista, perinteistä ja kulttuurista. Hän opasti meitä jopa valmistamaan itse useita vietnamilaisia kahveja. Ranskalaiset toivat kahvipavut Vietnamiin, ja ainutlaatuisten maantieteellisten ja ilmasto-olosuhteidensa vuoksi Vietnam sopii erityisen hyvin Robusta-kahvipapujen viljelyyn. Kahvikulttuuri on syvään juurtunut vietnamilaiseen elämään. Papujen valinnasta ja kuivauksesta aina keittämiseen asti sekoitin useita kahveja kahden komean argentiinalaisen miehen kanssa.

This was the highlight experience of my trip to Ho Chi Minh!, I am a coffee lover and i would do this experience again when i come back!. The gorgeous guide of the experience, Siu, was incredible, her introduction to Viet coffee and how to properly craft it and the history behind it was 2nd to none. I can definitely say this is a must do when visiting Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh and experiencing beautiful coffee sourced from local and organic farmers and familys!

Sai Gonin kahvipaja on todellinen helmi ja ehdottomasti ikimuistoinen kokemus. Vietnamin rikas ja elävä kahvikulttuuri lumosi minut täysin. Tämä kokemus oli paljon enemmän kuin pelkkä maistelu; se oli mukaansatempaava, osallistava ja sydämellinen alusta loppuun. Esitys oli huippuluokkaa. Et vain katso inspiroivia videoita, vaan elät tarinaa. Pääsin paahtamaan, valmistamaan ja nauttimaan kahvia omin käsin, ja jokainen vaihe oli täynnä iloa ja oppimista. Erityinen kiitos Anille, uskomattomalle kahvioppaallemme. Hänen erinomainen englannin kielen taitonsa, syvällinen tietämyksensä ja näkyvä intohimonsa vietnamilaista kahvia kohtaan tekivät kokemuksesta entistäkin unohtumattomamman. Hän ei vain opettanut, vaan jakoi palan sydämestään. Eniten minua kosketti hänen vilpittömyytensä. Hän välitti aidosti, varmistaen jatkuvasti, oliko minulla kysyttävää, ja huolehti, että imin itseeni paitsi maut, myös vietnamilaisen kahvin juuret ja sielun. Jos olet joskus Vietnamissa, tämä työpaja on ehdoton. Kyse ei ole vain kahvista. Minä

Got obsessed with Vietnamese coffee and decided to enroll in a coffee class while im in Vietnam. Based on the Klook description, I had an idea of what to expect, but the experience exceeded my expectations! I loved how hands-on the class was, and the instructors were pros. The class was fun, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for Vietnamese coffee culture. Trúc and Joey, my instructors, were amazing! They truly know their craft and were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Definitely a five-star experience at LeCaph and its fantastic instructors!

This is one of the highlights of our Ho Chi Minh trip. Perfect for those like us who are interested in the coffee culture and history in Vietnam. We learned a lot of things about coffee in Vietnam and we also got to try making coffee using Phin filter and V60. The class was really interesting and fun and our instructor, Ngoc, was so kind and accomodating. She is a good instructor as she explained all the things to us clearly. I can say that every little detail (from the presentation slides, to the videos, to the tasks) in this activity is well thought of and well made. There is even a nice little surprise at the end (I will not spoil it so you can see for yourself). Now that I am back home, I make coffee using the Phin filter and the ground coffee we bought from their shop. I’m so glad we booked this activity. Highly highly recommend this to everyone visiting Ho Chi Minh!

Vin is very friendly. He loves coffee and it shows when he was explaining to us. The program is very well crafted. It highlights coffee as rooted in the culture of Vietnam. It will be good to have actual farm tours and local cafe tours. But this crash course is good if you only have just 2 hours to spare.

非常棒的一次体验，我是淡季来的，今天只有我一个人，但是咖啡师AN还是很有耐心很充实的讲完了，对越南的咖啡历史有了更深刻的认识，所有咖啡配的甜品都很好吃，咖啡也都很独特，很推荐

One of the best experiences here in Vietnam. If you drink and breathe coffee, this one is for you. The staff were amazing especially Mike who was enthusiastic and very helpful from the start up until me getting over caffeinated (in a good way). Edit: Took another class, this time, egg coffee experience, thanks to Hiu, the class was very enjoyable and gained a lot more.

Had a great time in this coffee class. Sierra shared a lot of insightful knoweldge about Vietnam’s coffee culture, coffee roasting, and different brewing methods. The thank you gift that they give out at the end of the class is also something one would greatly appreciate.

This workshop was really well put together — it took me on a journey from the coffee farm all the way to the cup in front of me. It gave a nice glimpse into Vietnamese coffee culture, its roots, and how it’s evolved over time. I learned a lot about coffee beyond the usual Western styles and got to appreciate how special Vietnamese coffee really is. Julia was super friendly and clearly knew her stuff. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience authentic Vietnamese coffee culture and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Even my sister, who normally doesn’t drink coffee, loved their lemonade coffee — it was surprisingly refreshing!
