DID YOU KNOW?

Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer, producing over half of the global robusta coffee supply. Sadly, Vietnamese coffee is often wrongly labeled as low-quality or inferior. Many overlook its many varieties and depth of flavours, merely associating it with sweet condensed milk iced coffee.
Those who've tasted the bold, smooth flavours in Vietnam would dispute this stereotype. We're on a mission to unveil the true essence of Vietnamese coffee beans and rightly position them on our Aotearoa coffee map. Join us in celebrating this diverse journey, reshaping stories, and embracing a new coffee adventure.

OUR STRONGEST

BUFFALO (ROBUSTA)

Traditional Vietnamese Coffee MUST TRY

100% pure robusta, Buffalo is a bold, powerful yet smooth, clean coffee that effortlessly complements milk. Giving you that double shot of caffeine without breaking the bank. Not just about exceptional flavour and a strong caffeine punch; Buffalo is also a nod to tradition and the hardworking water buffalo that have worked alongside Vietnamese farmers in the rice fields for centuries. And just like the strong and powerful Buffalo, this coffee will keep you energised to ensure you stay on top of your daily grind. Indulge in a cup that's strong, bold, and smooth, delivering a full-mouth experience with a delightful hint of chocolate. Straight from farm to your cup through direct trade, it's the perfect blend that respects tradition and taste.

Our signature robusta and arabica blend – a match made in heaven! Honeymoon is recommended as a great starting point for those looking to introduce themselves to Vietnamese coffee with something a little familiar but also a little different. This exquisite blend brings together the powerful essence of robusta balanced against the smoothness of arabica. It's a marriage of flavours that will sweep you off your feet and keep you coming back for more. Experience the best of both worlds with Honeymoon – a blend that captures the essence of Vietnam's diverse coffee culture with a modern twist.

LIGHT & MELLOW

SUNSHINE (ARABICA)

The Classic Flavour You'll Love

Sunshine stands out with its exceptional smoothness and low levels of acidity, like a ray of sunshine in your cup, radiating with light and sweet nuances to elevate your coffee rituals to a whole new level. Not only delighting your taste buds but also embodying a commitment to empowerment and equality, this coffee is produced by the International Women's Coffee Alliance (IWCA) cooperative in the northwestern region of Son La, Vietnam. This group's mission is to amplify women's participation and representation in the coffee sector, improving the quality of life in coffee-producing communities. Sunshine stands as a shining example of the unique opportunities and support provided to women in the coffee industry.

WHAT DOES "DIRECT TRADE" COFFEE MEAN WITH MAY COFFEE CREW

What is the process of direct trade, and how is it permitting us to receive and sell premium coffee beans? Most importantly, how are the farms positively benefiting from the direct trade process?

What makes us really stand out? We're all about ensuring our amazing farmers in Vietnam get a fair deal for their hard work, paying significantly over market to ensure the best quality coffee and a sustainable future

Once picked, coffee cherries are processed and packed for a sea adventure

At the core of direct trade is simplicity and transparency. By managing the supply chain and logistics ourselves, we ensure more goes directly to the farmers so they earn a sustainable wage

We're brewing positive change in coffee villages and their communities

Elevating farmers' livelihoods

The most amazing coffee

I recently travelled through Vietnam and was amazed by how delicious the Vietnamese coffee was from the very first cup. I came home and bought these Robusta beans and I have been able to recreate that delicious taste of the very first Vietnamese coffee I had there. Excellent service from the May crew too

Amazing! Not bitter or sour coffee

Wow. Absolutely love the chocolate note! Having just had Arabica before, I was a bit hesitant about this coffee. But the sound of caffeine in this little bag is absolutely incredible! A must have before hitting the gym everyday, great at keeping my energy level. Very bold, velvety smooth, great body coffee.

Something for both of us

We tried Honeymoon and Buffalo beans from May Coffee Crew. Hubby liked the strong buffalo, not at all phased by the strength, enjoying a double shot, while I preferred the smooth velvetiness of Honeymoon which seem to have a chocolatey hint about it. A premium coffee with a great backstory to win over the snobbiest of coffee snobs
