A LUOI COFFEE BREWING EXPERIENCE WITH A TRADITIONAL PHIN

Discover A Luoi coffee through a phin

A Luoi coffee is part of the story of coffee in Hue. Grown in the western mountains, A Luoi Arabica beans carry the character of the land, the climate and the local people who grow the coffee.

Instead of just enjoying coffee at the counter, this experience brings you closer to the A Luoi coffee bean through a brewing method familiar to every Vietnamese: the traditional phin.

You will be guided step by step, from preparing the coffee and setting up the phin to pouring the water, waiting for the coffee to drip and enjoying the result.

The story of A Luoi coffee

About 70 km west of Hue, A Luoi was once a promising Arabica growing region of Hue. The first coffee trees were planted here in 2001. Over time, the growing area was gradually forgotten and much of the coffee land was replaced by other crops.

In 2016, Greenfields Coffee began researching and rebuilding this coffee region. In 2018, PhinHolic joined Greenfields Coffee and the farming households in A Luoi, step by step improving the growing, harvesting and processing and developing the quality of the coffee beans.

With each harvest, A Luoi coffee has seen positive changes in quality and flavor. PhinHolic continues to bring A Luoi coffee into many brewing methods, from phin and espresso to manual brewing.

The A Luoi phin brewing experience is a simple way to start exploring that story – from the coffee beans of A Luoi to the cup you brew yourself.
