What truly goes into a cup of coffee? That’s the question students from IEG set out to explore during their immersive educational visit to HuyEco Farm—a pioneer in sustainable coffee cultivation and local eco-tourism in Vietnam.
From the moment they arrived, the students were welcomed into a living ecosystem, guided by a coffee expert with over a decade of hands-on experience (yes—our very own HuyEco founder!). The journey began with a meaningful discussion about HuyEco’s mission: to build a more sustainable livelihood for farmers through organic practices, regenerative farming, and a deep respect for nature.

Through storytelling and real-life observation, the students learned why coffee cherries must be handpicked only when ripe—a labor-intensive process that ensures quality, as coffee does not ripen uniformly on the tree. This precision harvesting is key to producing a cup of coffee that’s rich in both flavor and purpose.
They witnessed every stage of the journey: from harvesting and sorting, to primary processing techniques that allow us to control flavor profiles naturally, all while reducing environmental impact.
One of the most eye-opening moments came during the explanation of defect bean sorting—a tedious yet vital step in ensuring coffee purity. Though time-consuming, this labor reflects our commitment to excellence and respect for those who savor each cup.

The highlight? A live sample roast session, where students discovered the core principles of flavor development and quality control in high-grade coffee. They even enjoyed a tasting session of freshly roasted beans—crafted onsite for a truly farm-to-cup experience.

Beyond the beans, students explored HuyEco’s unique ecological landscape, where Vetiver grass plays a key role in soil protection and erosion control. This natural solution is part of our larger vision: to regenerate the land, protect biodiversity, and build climate-smart farming systems.
By walking the farm with someone who has led coffee tours for over five years, students didn't just learn—they connected. They left with a deeper understanding of agriculture, sustainability, and the hidden effort behind every beautiful brew.
