River Phin Coffee

Founded by Vy Nguyen, River Phin Coffee draws on a family legacy that stretches back to her grandfather, a revered tea producer and master craftsperson in Hanoi. Vy is a certified Q Grader trained by Willem Boot and a judge at the 2024 U.S. Roasters Championship, bringing a level of technical rigor that underpins every aspect of the operation. She hand sources beans from small farmers in Asia through direct farm visits, with a particular focus on traceability and sustainability at origin. Each lot is scored and calibrated by three certified Q Graders before release, and all coffee is roasted in small artisanal batches. River Phin also collaborated with craftspeople in Vietnam to develop a multi method brewer made from premium steel, bridging Vietnamese coffee tradition with modern specialty practice. The roastery earned Silver Medal honors at the Golden Bean Roasters Competition.
