While coffee beans originated in Africa thousands of years ago, the caffeinated beverage has since spread to all corners of the globe, being enjoyed by a wide variety of cultures. Vietnam, for instance, has a deeply ingrained coffee culture centered around Robusta beans, with favorite beverages including cà phê đá, the traditional Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk, Cà Phê Trứng, Vietnamese egg coffee, and Cà Phê Sữa Chua, Vietnamese yogurt coffee.
