What is a drip bag?

A single-serve filter coffee sachet that hooks over a cup and brews directly with hot water. No machine required.

Suited for: Hotels · Villas · Tourism retail · Airport retail · Office pantry · Premium grocery · Gift programmes.

Format & brewing

Slow-drip phin character, no equipment.

Sampan coffee is brewed the Vietnamese way: a small metal filter — the phin — sits on the cup, ground coffee inside, hot water on top. It drips slow. The result is concentrated, strong, and built for daily life, not a ceremony.

The drip bag makes that method portable: the same ground coffee sealed in a paper filter with folding arms that hang on any standard cup or mug. Hot water in, coffee out — the same slow-drip character, without a filter to clean or store. Built for hotels, cafés, offices, and retail shelves where speed and consistency matter. We source directly from farmers we know, in regions we visit — Vietnamese Robusta and Arabica from the Central Highlands, nothing else.
