From Humble Beginnings to Global Recognition

Few know that the journey of Trung Nguyen began with a young man named Dang Le Nguyen, a son of the sunny and windy Central Highlands. His passion for the distinctive flavor of Robusta coffee, combined with the desire to build wealth from his homeland’s products, inspired him to establish the Trung Nguyen coffee brand in 1996.

Trung Nguyen goes beyond simply creating delicious and strong coffee. It skillfully integrates Vietnamese culture into each product and every cafe space. From evocative names like “Creative 1,” “Creative 8,” “Legend”… to the cafe decor imbued with Vietnamese cultural imprints, everything contributes to a unique and distinct Trung Nguyen experience.
