HOW TO USE DRIP COFFEE ?
Freshly roasted coffee is inside the SaigonDan Single-serve sachet; not Instant (or Soluble) coffee.
This important difference is the reason why you can now enjoy anywhere, anytime, enjoy your favorite coffee. Real flavor of roasted coffee, hand-crafted by your Saigondan Master Roaster, as follows:
Step 1: Tear open the bag of coffee grounds.
Step 2: Hang the wings of the bag on each side of your cup.
Step 3: Wet the coffee grounds with a small amount of water (about 1 ounce) and wait ~30 seconds. We recommend using hot water that is 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit - just below a boil.
Step 4: Pour enough water over the coffee grounds to submerge the coffee grounds.
Step 5: Take a short break and allow your coffee to filter through. Take a deep breath and enjoy the aroma of your fresh brew.
Step 6: Repeat “Step 4” and “Step 5” 2-5 more times until you reach your desired quantity and strength.
Step 7: Voila! You’re ready to enjoy this excellent cup of Saigondan - Finest Vietnamse Coffee, or add as much creamer as you please.

A nicely balanced acidity supported by a soft body - a real gem! Enjoy as a Pour Over coffee, or as Espresso or simple by using a French Press.
FAQ: Is your coffee really free of artificial flavors, syrups, or sweeteners? How is it sustainably sourced?
It sure is! We also don’t use any mysterious flavorings, essences, or artificial ingredients. Our Classic black coffee contains a premium blend of robusta and arabica coffee, only.
We take pride in our ever growing sustainability efforts. We have an active relationship with not only our coffee farmers in Vietnam, but with every step of our supply chain.

We are actively looking to increase our use of non-GMO and organic ingredients as well.

ORIGIN
In the early 1700s the French planted coffee on the island of Bourbon (now called La Reunion) in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Like Arabica Typica, in the early 20th century the first Bourbon seeds were planted next to the emerging city of Da Lat. Bourbon produces 20 – 30% more fruit than Typica but is unfortunately more susceptible to all major coffee diseases and pests. The high prices of SaigonDan Joyful is compensation for the difficult farming methods and low yields it produces compared with the today’s common Arabica varieties which lack Arabica Var. Bourbon’s distinctive flavours. The city of Da Lat, the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of Lam Dong Province, is also called the “City of Love” and is famous for its yearly flower festival. Situated on a plateau 1500m above sea level with multiple natural springs and a mild climate, Da Lat rapidly became popular as a cool retreat from the sweltering heat of the coastal plains.
