HB Food, a exporter and trader of coffee bean in Vietnam, with more than 12-year-experience on coffee trading, has been exporting coffee to global markets such as France, Italy, Canada, Japan, Belgium, UK, Spain, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and many more.
Vietnam is the world’s largest producer of Robusta beans, the other major coffee bean outside of Arabica beans. Because of this, Vietnamese coffee beans leave you with a lingering aftertaste filled with nutty notes alongside bright acidity.
