Da Nang coffee festival blends local specialties into innovative drinks

Businesses and coffee artisans in Da Nang are creating new beverages that combine coffee with regional products such as Ngoc Linh ginseng, Tra My cinnamon, Nam O fish sauce and avocado. The initiative adds value to OCOP (One Commune One Product) items and links agriculture, culture, tourism and commerce, aligning with the Politburo’s resolution on science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.

The Vietnam Coffee Challenge 2026 was held from 24‑26 July at the APEC Park, organized by the Hai Chau Ward People’s Committee. The event attracted coffee firms, baristas, food‑and‑beverage experts and visitors from across the country. Chairman Nguyen Van Duy emphasized the region’s high‑value specialties and said the projects aim to build a value chain that spans raw‑material production to tourism services.
