A Bold Vietnamese Ground Coffee Built on Tradition
Metrang’s Intense & Aromatic is a premium Vietnamese ground coffee that captures the classic character of traditional Vietnamese coffee culture. This Vietnamese ground coffee combines 70% Robusta with 30% Arabica to deliver a powerful yet refined cup. As a result, you experience the deep body, bold flavor, and aromatic complexity that define authentic Vietnamese coffee. Furthermore, this blend honors decades of Vietnamese coffee tradition while meeting modern quality standards. The Robusta foundation provides the signature intensity that Vietnamese drinkers know and love. Meanwhile, the Arabica component adds a subtle floral lift and aromatic depth. Therefore, every cup balances raw power with thoughtful refinement. In addition, this coffee earns a permanent place in any kitchen that values strong, satisfying flavor.
Sourced from Dak Lak and Lam Đong
We source the beans for this Vietnamese ground coffee from two distinct provinces in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. The Robusta majority comes from partner farms in Đak Lak Province at 600 to 800 meters elevation. Consequently, the volcanic basalt soil and tropical climate produce beans of exceptional density and aroma. Then, we combine them with select Arabica from Lam Đong Province at 1,200 to 1,400 meters. Moreover, this elevation difference creates the perfect complementary contrast between bold lowland Robusta and refined highland Arabica. After harvest, our team processes the Robusta using the natural method to develop fullness and sweetness. In contrast, we wash the Arabica to bring out cleaner, more aromatic notes. Finally, we roast each component to a dark profile at our own facility before grinding to phin-optimized consistency.
Tasting Profile and Brewing Guidance
This Vietnamese ground coffee delivers a full, syrupy body with low-medium acidity and pronounced flavor depth. Meanwhile, the cup features dark cocoa, roasted walnut, brown sugar, and a long, smooth finish. For the traditional Vietnamese phin filter, use 25g of coffee with 180ml of hot water at 95°C. Brew time runs 4 to 5 minutes for optimal extraction. Alternatively, prepare it as espresso with an 18g dose pulled to 36g in 25 to 30 seconds. Furthermore, this Vietnamese ground coffee pairs beautifully with condensed milk for the classic cà phê sữa đá. Therefore, you can enjoy it black for maximum intensity or sweetened for a traditional iced experience.
