Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend roasted ground coffee — 17.6oz x2 pack, strong, full-bodied chocolate & spice notes

Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend is a bold, roasted ground coffee that combines Robusta, Arabica, Excelsa, and Catimor beans for a rich cup with chocolate, spice, and fruit notes.

Crafted from beans grown in Buon Ma Thuot and roasted using Trung Nguyen’s long-refined methods, this ground coffee aims to deliver a consistent, aromatic experience. The blend balances the deeper body of Robusta with the sweetness and acidity from Arabica, plus the unique character of Excelsa and Catimor. Packaged in 17.6oz (500g) boxes and available as a pack of two, it’s designed to be versatile across home brewing techniques, from a Vietnamese phin to a French press.

How should I brew Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend for best results?
