đen coffee
đen was born out of the desire to share the best coffee from Vietnam and its rich culture along the way.
đen is the brainchild of Shay and Maxi, a siblings business and family affair. Both born and raised in the Central Highlands of Vietnam - Vietnamese coffee country. Their identities were shaped by coffee culture.
To them, coffee is community and connection.
