Impact on souvenir shopping: the era of choosing by origin<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vietnam is known for coffee, but from now on there's a new way to enjoy it: choosing by origin, such as \"from Lam Dong\" or \"from Gia Lai.\" You can look for beans from award-winning regions on the packaging, or sample specialty coffee at a Da Lat caf\u00e9, sharpening the resolution of your coffee souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ant Bee's top award symbolizes how Vietnamese coffee is evolving from \"quantity\" to \"quality and origin.\" On your next trip to Vietnam, try choosing your cup by paying attention to the origin on the label. It should make for a good souvenir story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
