How the team works with you
Four points where you deal with people directly
01
Advice for your shop
We ask about your machine, menu, volume and customers before suggesting anything.
02
Cupping at the roastery
You taste on the cupping table alongside a Q Grader.
03
Profile adjustment
We re-roast against your feedback until it matches your taste.
04
Brewing guidance
An SCA Barista trains your staff at our roastery or at your café.
Lien Viet Green does not run its own café. Customers come to the Long Bien roastery to taste and lock in a profile before ordering.
