Is "Trung Nguyen" the same company as "Trung Nguyen Legend"? Dropped by their cafe in Hanoi (old quarter) and loved the no. 5 blend (at least I think that's what I got — memory is fuzzy).

Extremely fragrant Torrefacto-style roasting. Chocolate, butter, caramel notes. I had it black there — no condensed milk or sugar — and bought a bag to brew in the Aeropress at home, also to drink black.

There is almost no complexity in the cup — it's just a very comforting, full-bodied chocolatey flavour. Enjoyable in its own way.
