The best dalat coffee farm experience

One of the best experience to Coffee farm in Dalat, Vietnam

I’m going to introduce you one of the best coffee farm experience in Vietnam hosted by a passionate farmer – Mr. Son Pacamara.

If you are a big fan of coffee and you’re even not interested in coffee, Uncle Son’s coffee farm tour will make you eye-opening. It is not one of those coffee places the big tour buses stop. But it’s just a small business, mainly run by volunteers that try to use eco-friendly techniques like less chemical, more natural fertilizer like on-site nuts, fruits, and animal dung.

This will definitely be a unique experience for you when you come to one of the best highlands of Vietnam – Dalat.

I want to say the view from Uncle Son’s coffee farm is spectacular. Sitting on the hill to see the coffee trees while enjoying a cup of hot pour-over V60 coffee is an unique experience. We have been there too many times since 5 years ago. Now the coffee farm was changed with better facilities which brings the most comfortable space for volunteers & visitors.

There, at Uncle’s Son coffee farm, you will not only have a chance to listen to his coffee passion but also you will be shown how to compare basic Robusta and Arabica coffee, the fermented process and enjoy coffee of the farm.
