The unknown and mysterious regions of the Central Highlands of Vietnam are often skipped in the popular tourist itineraries in Vietnam. It is an area with extensive forests and impressive mountains that are home to ethnic minorities who have always maintained their traditions and identity.

When tourists visit the Central Highlands during March and April, they will be captivated by the sheer beauty of white coffee flowers blooming all over the highlands and hills, making the entire region more appealing than ever.

Because of the differences in climate, coffee flowers bloom in each province varies slightly. There are usually two blooms, lasting from February to the end of April on the solar calendar.

The color lasts only 7 to 10 days, after which the flowers drop their wings and gradually form clusters of pretty small fruits that cling to each other’s branches, forming fruit. The month of March on the solar calendar is thought to be the most attractive flower blooming.

Coffee trees have an important position in the agricultural and forestry economic structure of Dak Lak with more than 200,000 hectares, accounting for about 35% of the coffee area of the Central Highlands.

Coffee flowers, when blooming most brilliantly, will be large, looking like a large daisy, round and forming clusters that cover the branches, standing out among the fresh green color. The flower has a unique fragrance that is very sweet and appealing. The aroma of flowers is not overpowering but relatively mild, pure, and refreshing, providing a sense of relaxation and comfort.

When the blooms start to fade, tourists will see each enormous flower is made up of numerous tiny, lovely blossoms that are gathered together. These blossoms will produce dense clusters of coffee berries when they fall.
