The oreo frappe Starbucks delivers sweetness-but Bazan helps you elevate it. With Vietnamese fine Robusta and careful fermentation, Bazan beans create depth, strength, and ethical flavor integrity that shine through cream and cookies alike.
Skip the drive-thru. Blend better at home-with real beans and real care.
Brew It with Too Strong: Vietnam’s Bold Robusta
Too Strong is 100% Vietnamese Robusta from Đắk Lắk, dark roasted to stand up to milk and ice. It carries roughly twice the caffeine of a typical arabica blend (about 2.2–2.7%), with notes of chocolate, caramel and warm toast and none of the burnt, bitter bite.
- Made for milk: built for cà phê sữa đá, lattes and iced coffee.
- Brew it your way: phin filter, espresso machine, French press or paper filter.
- Fresh from the farm: roasted date printed on every bag.
