The Coffee Tour - Jude's Signature.
It's not about a cup of coffee, It's about the story behind it.
Hanoi is famous among travellers and coffee lovers around the world for it's special coffee. It's different from the look, the taste and the way we enjoy it.
What makes Vietnamese Coffee so special? Why it's so different from the rest of the world?
The answer is within our culture, our history, our way of life. We use a METAL filter instead of a steam machine, we use condense milk instead of sugar, Robusta beans instead of Arabica, we sip the coffee instead of drinking it, we sit together instead of personal spaces. Everything make Vietnamese coffee so special.
Walk with me, let me tell you the stories, let's appreciate the history together.
Walk with me, enjoy our coffee.

This is one of the very best tours I have been on. Jude shares his knowledge of the history of coffee and life in Hanoi. The Cafes we visited were very interesting. Jude even taught me to cross the road in Hanoi, he is the best with perfect English.

I booked this tour for my husband who is a big coffee lover as a surprise while on our honeymoon.
Jude was awesome it was like walking around town with an old friend.
Jude took us to all the hidden coffee places and we had some of the best coffee we may have ever had.
I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you Jude for such an amazing experience and for showing us some real gems.
If your a coffee lover then don't look past this tour.

Jude was awesome! The whole time we did the tour it didn't feel like we were walking with an audio recording. Everything went naturally and easily.
Ever had that fantasy of walking around an ancient city discovering secret alleys, and nooks,and "searching" for the best coffee in town while having casual conversations about the history of said city and its ties to one of the world's best coffees with a local friend? That's how our tour was with Jude minus the searching part because he has already done the work for you! :)
Hanoi is a charming city, hiding mysteries and secrets in it alleyways or 'fridge-like' houses while at the same time offering the best and strangest coffee experience you can have. Couple that with Jude's expertise and it's a coffee lovers dream come true.

This coffee tour was so fun and informative. The tour gives you a real sense of how intimately the city of Hanoi and coffee are connected. Add in the fact that Le Huong/Jude is an avid coffee lover and a native Hanoian himself, and you have a recipe for the perfect authentic Vietnamese coffee experience.
We progressed through 4 different cafés during the tour, each chosen for a unique contribution on offer that Huong highlighted as we went. From visiting the oldest café in Hanoi, to discovering the unique taste of egg coffee from the original café where it was first prepared, coffee lovers and curious sightseers alike will not be disappointed.
Throughout the tour, Huong was happy to answer all our questions, and is knowledgable about a variety of topics, including coffee, Hanoi history, Vietnamese language, and more. He also gave us recommendations for new things to try and experience during our time here. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning more about Hanoi, coffee, and how they are connected.

We had a blast walking around the city and drinking coffee. Our tour guide, Jude, took us to 4 different places, all around the same area so it wasn't too much walking. We tried a few types of Vietnamese coffee (egg, coffee with condensed milk, iced, etc) and loved listening to all the stories about the history of coffee and the history of the coffee shops. Pro tip: eat before the tour and drink your drinks slowly! The coffee buzz was real. It was a fun way to spend our morning and we learned a lot. Jude was gracious in answering all of our questions, even if it wasn't related to coffee.

I had the great opportunity to join Jude on the Hanoi coffee tour. We visited 4 different cafe's, each offering something so uniquely part of Vietnamese history and culture. I had the opportunity to compare a few different versions of things (like the egg coffee and ca phe sua/den da) but also got to try other drinks I've always been to scared to try on my own, like the salted apricot drink and mung bean freeze. Apart from the good bevs and caffeine jitters, you also get to spend time with a really cool and knowledgeable guide who can answer questions that also go beyond coffee. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
