About this experience
Just 20 years ago, no one suspected that coffee would be grown in Vietnam. Today, it is the second largest producer in the world. Here, on mountain farms among mighty pines and delicate flowers, coffee saplings and adult trees live. I will take you to a farm and factory, tell you about the genetics of coffee, fermentation processes, and drying. And you will experience the role of a harvester yourself!
What to Expect
The Birth of a Legend
Similar to a samurai, the coffee bean undergoes an amazing transformation. A small green berry - tender and defenseless - is born at high altitudes. It goes through seasons of rain and winds. And now it is ready to reveal its essence to us - a bean that is about to transform into a invigorating and aromatic drink. Want to trace this path? Experience this amazing cycle of changes? Then let's go to the mountains on a coffee tour!
Farm and Factory
During an introductory tour of the plantations, you will learn about how coffee trees grow, what coffee flowers smell like, and how freshly picked beans taste. From the farm, you will arrive at the coffee factory and take over the shift! After training on processing and roasting processes, you will be required to immediately apply the knowledge gained and personally conduct grain selection, and then roast it.
