Coconut Coffee: Bold Robusta Meets Creamy Coconut

At Phin Lab Roastery, we blend Vietnam’s coffee traditions with local ingredients to create drinks that honor both flavor and craftsmanship. Our Coconut Coffee (Cà Phê Dừa) combines strong Robusta espresso with creamy coconut cream and condensed milk—a refreshing choice for Hoi An’s tropical climate.

The Recipe: Simple Ingredients, Careful Balance

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 1 shot Phin Lab Robusta espresso (freshly brewed)
• 40ml coconut cream (pure, from Ben Tre province)
• 40ml condensed milk (thick and sweet)
• 1 tbsp frappe powder (FR33) (for smooth texture)
• Ice

Steps:

1. Blend: Combine coconut cream, condensed milk, frappe powder, and ice in a blender. Mix for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
2. Layer: Pour half the espresso into a glass, add the coconut mixture, then top with the remaining espresso.
3. Serve: Enjoy immediately, stirred or layered.

Why We Use These Ingredients

• Phin Lab Robusta: Grown in Dalat, our beans are roasted in-house for a bold, chocolatey base that stands up to sweetness.
• Condensed Milk: A Vietnamese staple, it adds sweetness without masking the coffee’s depth.

Our Roastery’s Role

We focus on quality at every step:

1. Ethical Sourcing: Beans from small farms in the Dalat Highlands.
2. Fresh Roasting: Small batches weekly, never pre-ground.
