Trình cà phê - Chợ Hàn

your hands wrap around ceramic that's still warm from the kiln as trình slides a cup of da lat highland arabica across the wooden counter. the beans carry highland mist in their oils, roasted dark enough to bring out chocolate undertones without burning away the fruit. this isn't tourist coffee. trình sources directly from farmers three hours north, where altitude and volcanic soil create beans that taste like vietnam, not a postcard of it. the hiss of the lever machine cuts through chợ hàn market noise.
