About
French colonists brought coffee in 1857, but production exploded after the 1986 Đổi Mới reforms. Vietnamese coffee culture, built around the phin filter and condensed milk, is its own world.
From Wikipedia
Coffee production has been a major source of income for Vietnam since the early 20th century. First introduced by the French in 1857, the Vietnamese coffee industry developed through the plantation system, becoming a major economic force in the country. After an interruption during and immediately following the Vietnam War, production rose once again after Đổi mới economic reforms, making coffee second only to rice in value of agricultural products exported from Vietnam.
