Ca Phe Pleiku (Pleiku Coffee)
Ca Phe Pleiku represents the soul of Gia Lai's Central Highlands — a land of red basalt soil, high elevation, and cool climate, perfect for cultivating high-quality Robusta beans. Coffee from this region is known for its strong, slightly bitter taste, deep aroma, and thick, velvety texture.
Locals often enjoy it as ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk) or ca phe den da (black iced coffee), brewed using the traditional Vietnamese drip filter. More than just a drink, Ca Phe Pleiku is a daily ritual and a symbol of highland hospitality, best experienced slowly in the crisp morning air.
