Elevating Vietnamese Coffee Culture Globally: The Journey of Trung Nguyen Legend
Efforts to “establish Vietnamese coffee’s global reputation”
According to Bloomberg, a significant proportion of the world’s robusta coffee is grown in Buon Ma Thuot, making Vietnam the
second-largest coffee producer globally
. However, the value and versatility of Vietnamese robusta are not always reflected in its trading price.
Since its inception in the coffee capital of Buon Ma Thuot, the Trung Nguyen Legend Group has diligently researched and unveiled the unique and exceptional qualities of Buon Ma Thuot robusta beans, recognized as the
finest in the world
. Under the leadership of its founder and chairman, Dang Le Nguyen Vu, Trung Nguyen Legend has systematically elevated the Buon Ma Thuot coffee brand, asserting Vietnam’s coffee industry on the global map through cultural, artistic, and philosophical approaches to coffee, ultimately contributing to shaping the industry’s
higher-level identity
.

With a global presence in over 100 countries and territories, Trung Nguyen, G7, and Trung Nguyen Legend coffees are leading the way in introducing Vietnamese coffee to the world.
Offering over 300 innovative robusta-based energy coffee products and exporting to more than 100 countries and territories, along with a rapidly expanding network of over 1,000 cafes in Vietnam and internationally, Trung Nguyen Legend is consistently enhancing the value of Vietnamese coffee and fueling a
global consumption wave for Vietnamese robusta
.

The profound coffee films produced in collaboration with leading global media outlets have reshaped how the world perceives Vietnam, transitioning from solely a coffee-exporting powerhouse to a significant contributor to the global coffee culture. Coffee Meditation, a foundational practice of Coffee Philosophy, has been embraced by the intellectual elite worldwide and has become an integral part of national diplomatic rituals.
