Elevating Vietnamese Coffee Culture Globally: The Journey of Trung Nguyen Legend


“Elevating Vietnamese Coffee on the Global Stage”

According to Bloomberg, a significant proportion 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 reflected in its trading price.

Since its inception in the capital of Buon Ma Thuot, the Trung Nguyen Legend Group has diligently researched and discovered the unique and exceptional qualities of Buon Ma Thuot robusta coffee beans, renowned for their superior taste. Under the leadership of its founder and chairman, Dang Le Nguyen Vu, Trung Nguyen Legend has consistently elevated the Buon Ma Thuot coffee brand, asserting the position of Vietnamese coffee on the world map through cultural, artistic, and philosophical approaches to coffee, ultimately contributing to
shaping the Vietnamese coffee industry at a higher level

.

Trung Nguyen, G7, and Trung Nguyen Legend coffee brands have a presence in over 100 countries and territories worldwide, contributing to the global conquest of Vietnamese coffee.

With over 300 energy coffee products created from Buon Ma Thuot robusta coffee and exported to more than 100 countries and territories, along with a continuously expanding network of over 1,000 cafes in Vietnam and internationally, Trung Nguyen Legend has steadily enhanced the value of Vietnamese coffee. The company has also promoted a
“robusta coffee consumption wave”

globally.

US Ambassador to Vietnam, Marc Evans Knapper, experienced Coffee Meditation at The World of Coffee Museum, describing it as a
“profound and unique experience.”

Notably, the
Coffee Philosophy

, enlightened and created by the founder and chairman of Trung Nguyen Legend, Dang Le Nguyen Vu, has been introduced and broadcast globally by renowned media platforms such as Discovery, CNN, and Bloomberg. Through exceptional films about coffee and Vietnamese coffee culture produced in collaboration with leading global media agencies, Trung Nguyen Legend has contributed to changing the world’s perception of Vietnam. From being recognized primarily as a coffee-exporting powerhouse, Vietnam is now also making significant contributions to global coffee culture. Coffee Meditation, a fundamental practice of Coffee Philosophy, has been embraced by the domestic and international intellectual elite and has become an integral part of national diplomatic protocols.


Continuous Innovation Fuels the “Vietnamese Robusta Coffee Consumption Wave”

Unlike hundreds of thousands of other coffee companies that view coffee merely as an ordinary beverage, Trung Nguyen Legend perceives coffee as an energy source for the awakened and creative mind. Over 300 energy coffee products under the Trung Nguyen, G7, and Trung Nguyen Legend brands are beloved in more than 100 countries and territories, experiencing robust growth in leading economies such as the US, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Dubai, France, and countries in Southeast Asia, Asia, and Europe.
