Lien Viet Green: Bringing Vietnamese Coffee to the World

The “Touch Northwest Flavors – Reach Global Heights” Event and Son La Arabica

In recent years, Vietnamese specialty coffee has increasingly solidified its standing on the global coffee map. Alongside traditional key growing areas in the Central Highlands, Son La is emerging as an important high-altitude Arabica producing hub in Vietnam, earning strong recognition from domestic and international roasters and industry specialists.

The “Touch Northwest Flavors – Reach Global Heights” event was organized to highlight the inherent value of Son La Arabica beans, connecting coffee growers, commercial processors, roasters, export enterprises, and the specialty coffee community. This initiative not only promotes the Northwest region’s specialty coffee origins but also unlocks multi-stakeholder partnerships to build a sustainable Vietnamese coffee value chain.

Participating in this event, Lien Viet Green presented practical perspectives on upgrading the value of Vietnamese coffee beans through trial roasting sessions, green bean quality assessments, product development knowledge transfer, and commercial trade networking.

With extensive operational experience in the coffee processing and supply industry, Lien Viet Green serves not only as a commercial supplier but also as a long-term strategic partner for domestic growing origins to upgrade raw material quality and product value.

At the Son La Arabica event, Lien Viet Green joined industry stakeholders to bridge the gap between primary producers and downstream commercial markets, expanding brand awareness for high-grade Vietnamese coffee on a global scale.

Through direct cupping and physical defect analysis of Son La Arabica green beans, Lien Viet Green’s technical team evaluated high-quality micro-lots cultivated in Northwest highland microclimates. This direct assessment enables deeper understanding of origin raw material potentials, establishing direct sourcing contracts with local agricultural cooperatives, farming households, and primary processors.

Beyond commercial trading, Lien Viet Green builds integrated supply chain linkages from farm gate to finished roasted products, supporting Son La coffee beans to meet strict technical specifications for international distribution.

The facility formulates tailored roast profiles adapted to each bean cultivar and commercial usage, spanning large-volume commercial blends to complex specialty grade single origins.
