Creative 5 Coffee — Roasted Ground Coffee — Single Origin Culi Arabica — Light & Smooth — Vietnamese Coffee, 1 Bag (8.8 oz)

The best coffee in the world (My Personal Opinion)

Delicious coffee! It has a lovely scent and flavor with chocolate notes. I sometimes use a teaspoon and 6 ounces of water in a Vietnamese drip maker to beef up a boring or weak cup of coffee.

Creative5 is a 100% Arabica ground blend, strong with a beautiful dark chocolate after taste. It’s quite smooth and flagrant, a distinct feature of Vietnamese coffee - if you brew it right. Trust me, I’m somewhat of a coffee nerd and also lived in VN till 14. Creative5 is good for an average American coffee drinker to try Vietnamese coffee - it’s 100% Arabica, thus has a similar level of caffein level (80 mg/8 ounce serving) to most popular coffee sold in the U.S. Same is for Creative3 (70 mg). That being said, please do NOT use your standard coffeemaker - it’s the biggest waste! Why? The paper filter takes away the oil that creates the slightly fatty and smooth taste, and the coffeemaker doesn’t give the ground blend to immerse in the water long enough to bring out the coffee’s distinct flagrance. Instead, brew it with a Vietnamese “phin filter” or a French press. Both are very inexpensive and are available on Amazon, so you really have no excuse. I had both of these: Vietnamese “phin filter”: http://www.amazon.com/Vietnamese-Traditional-Coffee-Filter-Gravity/dp/B00GGAQTTY/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1449523843&sr=1-1&keywords=phin+filter French press (I bought this since the metal is good for heat retention, mimicking the “pin filter” process and best for flavor: http://www.amazon.com/Francois-Mimi-Stainless-Double-French/dp/B00D6JUHUU/ref=sr_1_3?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1449523901&sr=1-3&keywords=french+press French Press - cheaper alternative: http://www.amazon.com/Primula-6-Cup-Tempo-Coffee-Press/dp/B00IJBQMI6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_79_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41w%2BGpLOEzL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=06PFZ1H29S39CMJBSA2R If you’re not set on Creative5, I’d recommend the Premium Blend and Legendee Blend instead. One, I could have got a bad batch of Creative5, but it was a darker roast then I expected and killed the Arabica sour flavor. Two, Premium Blend is sold in a metal container, so better to retain the smell and flavor (vs. Creative5 is paper bagged). Legendee is the most premium line of Trung Nguyen and you really don’t want to drink other coffee after it - nothing can smell as good and taste as clean, smooth/fatty and sweet. It’s so good that even your coffeemaker can’t ruin it! Legendee is sold in a vacuumed bag for optimal preservation. Also very chic packaging to wow someone as a gift. Again, BEWARE that caffeine levels vary significantly from coffee to coffee!! Vietnamese coffee has higher caffein level on average than American coffee because of the bean variety. For those sensitive to caffein, check the comparison chart below (Disclaimer: I got these stats from Trung Nguyen website ): All numbers are milligrams per 8 ounce serving. Buon Me Thuot Special: 130 mg Creative 1: 150 mg Creative 2: 120 mg Creative 3: 70 mg Creative 4: 120 mg Creative 5: 80 mg Gourmet Blend: 120 mg Legendee: 100 mg Passiona: 40 mg for 6 ounces Premium Blend: 120 mg Source: http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/caffeine.php

One of my favorites. I've tried it in Asia first time and even brought couple packages back with me. I'm glad it's available on Amazon, so I can enjoy the best vietnamese coffee.

I’m beyond disappointed! I have been drinking Trung’s coffee since 2000 and love it. However, the recent purchase was NOT Creative 5 Coffee, although the right packaging!

This is the best coffee I've ever had. I am not a coffee expert, but I certainly enjoyed this stuff. The packaging is nice and colorful, and the coffee is also excellent.

Never made Vietnamese coffee before but reading all the reviews, I picked this one. The taste is strong and smooth. Will purchase again.

Very rich, smooth slightly chocolaty taste…….makes a great after diner coffee or for a mid-afternoon break.

ずっーと愛飲しています 5でなくても淹れ方次第で美味しいです

Bester Kaffe ever!

If ever you’ve had a vietnamese coffee in a restaurant and wished you could have it at home, this is it!!! Just need the vietnamese Phin coffee filter and you’re good to go. Highly recommend

Best tasting coffee I’ve had in my phin filter. The only type of ground coffee that properly filters through - nice and strong too. You can really taste the berries in a black coffee. Defo going back for more!

Great coffee. Kind of chocolatey and not bitter at all.
