Tour description

COFFEE EXPERIENCE TOUR – FROM FARM TO CUP

Have you ever picked ripe coffee cherries by hand in a lush green garden, listened to stories of farmers with baskets full of beans, or roasted and brewed your own cup of rich, aromatic coffee?

Join our coffee experience tour at a local farm, where you will:

  • Harvest coffee with local farmers – soak in the peaceful, authentic atmosphere of the red basalt highlands.

  • Discover the secrets of traditional sun-drying and processing – from selecting the best beans to spreading them out under the sun on handmade drying racks.

  • Roast your own coffee by hand – hear the crackling sound of roasting beans and breathe in the irresistible aroma as it fills the air.

  • Brew and enjoy your own phin coffee – each drop is the result of earth, effort, and love.

This is a slow, simple, and heartfelt journey – perfect for those who love nature, coffee, and the beauty of honest labor.

Tour Schedule

The Coffee Experience Tour is available from September to December, offered in two half-day sessions:

  • Morning tour: 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM

  • Afternoon tour: 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM

Itinerary

Your guide will take you to visit a local farming family living near the forest. Together, you’ll walk into their coffee garden and help harvest ripe coffee cherries while listening to their heartfelt stories about daily farm life.

Next, you’ll explore the traditional methods of coffee processing and drying. Try your hand at using a wooden mortar and pestle to husk dried beans, then roast them over a cast-iron pan in the farmer’s rustic kitchen.

After roasting and grinding, you'll brew your own cup of phin coffee and savor its rich flavor — the perfect reward for your efforts.

You may also purchase freshly roasted coffee as a meaningful souvenir.
This is an authentic, hands-on experience you shouldn’t miss while visiting Vietnam’s coffee capital — Đắk Lắk.

 

Note

Please book in advance so that our team can better prepare to serve you.

This tour is part of a community-based tourism initiative, designed to create income and job opportunities for local ethnic minority groups — especially for farming households cultivating coffee near the forest.

What to Bring:

  • Comfortable shoes or sandals, neat and respectful clothing

  • A hat and sunscreen
