Vince's story

Nam Coffee is an ode to my journey traversing Vietnam and California. Bringing together farmers from the picturesque mountainous region of southern Vietnam to roasters in Los Angeles, I’m driven by a distinctly global ethos.

I have long had a keen sense of what makes a quality cup of coffee. Born in Pleiku, a city in Vietnam that’s home to coffee, and tea farms. I enjoyed coffee from a very young age with my older brother and sister. As a twelve-year-old, I gained first-hand experience in the coffee industry when my mom opened up a stand in Saigon’s District One. She was a single mother who worked long hours so I could live a better life. This was the first of many businesses we collaborated on together. Now, years later, I’m ecstatic that I can build off everything I learned from that alleyway coffee stand and continue our family tradition of cultural pride and entrepreneurship.

When I moved to Orange County, California, to pursue a career in fashion, I was frustrated by the lack of palatable, suitable Vietnamese coffee brands that were available for diaspora communities and everyday coffee drinkers. Though Vietnam is the second-largest coffee producer in the world, there’s a misconception that our coffee is bitter, low quality, and not on par with global heavyweights.
When first developing our roasts, I paid careful attention to all of the tiny details that go into achieving perfection. We roast premium, light robusta beans at lower temperatures for longer periods of time to ensure that every bean gets a nice coat of oil and a lasting, vibrant aroma. We’ve also guaranteed that our products are organic with no additives. I’m beyond proud to share it with you.
