Da Lat Specialty - Cafe Moka Cau Dat


Cau Dat Moka Cafe is a coffee variety grown in Cau Dat, Da Lat, at an altitude of 1600m above sea level. The characteristic of this coffee bean is that it is quite small in shape, often yellowish in color and has a strong aroma that attracts any coffee connoisseur. When brewed, this bean will give the coffee a sour, slightly bitter taste, which is the perfect choice to energize a new day. 


In Vietnam, the ideal place for this type of coffee beans to grow best is only in Cau Dat. Due to the limited area, the output of Moka Cau Dat coffee each year is also much less than other types of coffee. That is also the reason why Moka Cau Dat café has become a very popular product for tourists to bring home as gifts.
