Brand Overview

Vô Han is not just a coffee brand; it's an experience that encapsulates the rich history and culture of Vietnam. By taking consumers on a journey from the streets of Vietnam to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Vô Han offers a unique blend of history, flavour, and cultural appreciation.

Origin and Meaning

"Vô Han" translates to "borderless" or "limitless" in Vietnamese. The brand name is inspired by Vietnam's significant role during the Cold War and its indirect influence on Germany becoming borderless in 1989.
