In the quiet, bustling streets of Hanoi during the mid-20th century, whispers began circulating about a potent brew with an unsavory undertone. As Vietnam’s coffee production boomed post-war; thanks largely to Soviet agricultural investments; the country’s robusta beans began dominating global markets. But beneath this economic success lay rumors of clandestine activities designed to manipulate both minds and marketplaces.
