Coffee and durian - an intriguing combination
Introduction to Durian Coffee
Durian is a specialty fruit in the Southeast Asia region, known for its large size and sharp thorns covering its peel. The flesh of the fruit is yellow, creamy, and delicious, but it has a strong odor that can be off-putting or nauseating to many people. Therefore, durian is prohibited from being brought into hotels, on board vehicles, or in some other public places.
The flesh of durian is used to make durian coffee
Durian coffee is a unique combination of two culinary icons of Vietnam - coffee and durian. This beverage has quickly gained popularity among adventurous enthusiasts due to its aromatic, creamy, and irresistibly enticing flavor. The slight bitterness of coffee blends harmoniously with the sweet, creamy taste of durian, creating a fascinating and unforgettable experience for coffee lovers.
Durian coffee is made from pure freshly ground coffee beans combined with fresh or frozen durian. Depending on your preference, you can use Arabica coffee, Robusta coffee, or a blend of both to create the most satisfying durian coffee flavor.
Through this article, CHUS shares with you some incredibly aromatic and irresistible durian coffee recipes.
