Elevating Vietnamese Coffee Culture Globally: The Journey of Trung Nguyen Legend
Efforts to “Establish Vietnamese Coffee’s Global Reputation”
According to Bloomberg, a significant portion of the world’s robusta coffee is grown in Buon Ma Thuot, Dak Lak, making Vietnam the second-largest coffee producer globally. However, the value and versatility of robusta coffee are not always accurately reflected in its trading price. Recognizing this, Trung Nguyen Legend, a prominent Vietnamese coffee company, has embarked on a journey to change this perception.
Since its inception in Buon Ma Thuot, the company has been dedicated to researching and uncovering the unique qualities of robusta coffee beans grown in the region. Under the leadership of its founder and chairman, Dang Le Nguyen Vu, Trung Nguyen Legend has consistently elevated the brand and reputation of Buon Ma Thuot coffee, asserting Vietnam’s coffee industry on the global map through cultural, artistic, and philosophical approaches to coffee.

With a global presence in over 100 countries and territories, Trung Nguyen Legend’s brands, including Trung Nguyen, G7, and Trung Nguyen Legend, are leading the way in introducing Vietnamese coffee to the world.
Offering over 300 energy coffee products created from Buon Ma Thuot robusta beans and exporting to more than 100 countries and territories, Trung Nguyen Legend is committed to enhancing the value of Vietnamese coffee globally. Additionally, with a rapidly expanding network of over 1,000 cafes in Vietnam and internationally, the company is fueling a “robusta coffee consumption wave” worldwide.

Notably, the Coffee Philosophy, conceived by the company’s founder and chairman, has garnered international attention, with features on Discovery, CNN, and Bloomberg. Through collaborative film productions with leading global media organizations, Trung Nguyen Legend has contributed to changing the world’s perception of Vietnam, showcasing not just its coffee exports but also its emerging coffee culture. Coffee Meditation, a fundamental practice within the Coffee Philosophy, has been embraced by the intellectual elite globally and has become an integral part of national diplomatic rituals.
Continuous Innovation Fuels the “Robusta Coffee Consumption Wave”
Unlike countless other coffee companies that view coffee merely as a beverage, Trung Nguyen Legend perceives coffee as a source of mental energy and creativity. With over 300 energy coffee products under the Trung Nguyen, G7, and Trung Nguyen Legend brands, the company has established a strong presence in more than 100 countries and territories, experiencing significant growth in major economies such as the US, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Dubai, France, and Southeast Asian, Asian, and European countries.
Notably, the latest generation of instant ground coffee, featuring the exceptional trio of Trung Nguyen Legend Cà Phê Sữa Đá, Special Edition, and Classic, along with Trung Nguyen Legend Cappuccino, has consistently enhanced brand awareness and messaging while expanding across all online and offline sales channels in Vietnam, China, the US, Europe, and ASEAN countries.

The company has also intensified its focus on the US market by targeting Costco, Asian supermarkets, and prominent online platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. Furthermore, Trung Nguyen Legend has initiated trade promotions and brand awareness campaigns in the Middle East and ASEAN regions, establishing strategic collaborations with multinational entities like Lulu Hypermarket, Costco (Australia, Canada, France), and Loblaws (Canada), as well as partners in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
Simultaneously, Trung Nguyen Legend introduced the Family Coffee Appreciation Set, inspired by the Zen coffee culture, and unveiled the exceptional freeze-dried instant coffee, Trung Nguyen Legend Gold.

The company also intends to replicate its success in Australia, Canada, and other key markets, including Japan, South Korea, Dubai, France, Southeast Asia, Asia, and Europe. By the end of 2025, Trung Nguyen Legend expects to inaugurate hundreds of new cafes in Vietnam and nearly 15 cafes internationally, focusing on central locations, major cities, and tourist destinations.
