What Vietnamese coffee should I buy as a souvenir in Nha Trang?

Besides coffee, lists of things to bring home from Nha Trang in July 2026 included rum, smoothies, various chewy candies, cocoa, chocolate, fruit, dried fish and nuts. About cocoa, a September 2026 message said Sapphire and GO supermarkets have a decent selection, and that cocoa that is not the cheapest is usually tasty.

Another sweet souvenir recommended in June 2026 to take home: durian candies and freeze-dried durian.

Luwak (also called Chon) is described in the June 2026 list of varieties as a premium coffee fermented in the stomach of palm civets. Its taste is described as slightly bitter and sweet, with spicy notes of caramel and ginger.

Excelsa, in the same list, is a select arabica with a spicy taste; the author noted that it is found mostly in expensive restaurants.

Moka is an arabica with a pronounced soft caramel taste; according to the June 2026 description, coconut milk is added during roasting.

Culi is a blend of robusta and arabica with a caramel aroma and mild bitterness (description from the June 2026 list of varieties).

Catimor is described as a variety with a balanced taste and hints of tropical fruit and pink cherry.

Blue Dragon is a robusta with flavours of roasted grains, almonds, peanuts and walnuts. The Dalat blend, which includes this robusta, was described as a balanced, rich coffee for home and commercial use.

The key tip from the June 2026 message: at markets and street stalls there is a high chance of getting a fake, so it is better to go to dedicated shops that sell only coffee and tea. The author stressed that a low price means low quality.
