I have a friend who came back from vietnam raving about their coffee, does anyone have a website for small international orders of green beans? I tried alibaba.com but could only get quotes on tons not lbs or kgs.

Is your friend Vietnamese? It's funny...all of my coworkers know I'm into coffee since I'm always brewing something different at work and everytime someone's telling me what the best coffee is...it's from their own country. The El Salvadorian guy...El Salvador is the best. The Dominican lady...Dominican coffee is the best, which she happened to bring me some that was way too over roasted and I had to act like I liked it so I wouldn't hurt her feelings...Then the my favorite, the Filipinos (I'm also Filipino)...they've told me "Philippines has the best coffee!! They sell a lot of it to Maxwell House so they've got to be good!" LoL. Oh well...I get a kick out of it. I agree with CoffeeRoastersClub to buy at your own risk...I believe that most of the coffee in Vietnam is low grade robusta...yum.

So true, in fact he is not from there. I did suggest he had his holiday glasses on ie: everything is better when on holiday...but no he's sure, so i'll source some and give them a go.
