Vietnamese Coffee Culture | 越南咖啡文化

 

 

 

 

 

Vietnam is renowned for its stunning coffee gardens in the highlands, where the finest coffee beans are cultivated, produced, and exported around the globe.

When we talk about Vietnamese coffee, it’s not just about the exceptional quality of the beans—it’s also about the rich culture that surrounds it.

In Vietnam, especially among the elders, there’s a cherished tradition of rising early, around 4-5 AM, to exercise. As the sun begins to rise, it’s common to invite friends for a casual meet-up, whether to catch up or strengthen bonds.

This ritual is somewhat reminiscent of the "Yum Cha" or "Jom Lepak" culture in Malaysia, but we call it "Uống Cà Phê," which literally means "drink coffee." While some cultures favor luxurious, well-decorated cafes, ours is uniquely different.

Most Vietnamese, including the younger generation, prefer sipping their coffee at roadside stalls, perched on tiny wooden chairs around equally small tables. These gatherings are filled with laughter and joy, reflecting our vibrant lifestyle.

Simplicity is the essence of happiness! You might be surprised to learn that many strong friendships are forged and new connections made over coffee. It serves as a gateway to countless relationships.

If you ever find yourself in Vietnam, I highly recommend diving into this experience. Discover the warmth of our coffee culture at Pifo Café!

 

 

越南因其丰富多彩的美食而闻名，其中一种特别引人注目的就是在高原种植、生产和出口的咖啡豆。当我们谈论越南咖啡时，不仅仅是咖啡豆的高品质，更重要的是它背后的文化。

在越南，尤其是老年人，通常喜欢在凌晨4-5点早起锻炼。随着太阳升起，他们喜欢邀请朋友一起聚会，这不仅是为了锻炼，也是为了建立更紧密的关系。这种文化与马来西亚的“喝茶”或“Lepak”文化有些相似，但我们称之为“Uống Cà Phê”，字面意思是“喝咖啡”。

世界各地的咖啡文化各具特色，有些人喜欢在豪华精致的咖啡馆享用咖啡，而越南人则有些不同。大多数越南人，包括年轻一代，更喜欢坐在路边，坐在迷你木椅上，边聊天边享受咖啡。这些聚会通常充满欢声笑语，反映了我们的生活方式。

简单就是快乐！常常，一个简单的咖啡聚会就能让你结识新朋友。如果您有一天计划到越南旅行，我强烈建议您亲身体验这一文化
