LA VIE EN ROSE Special Blend
La Vie En Rose is a seasonal specialty coffee blend co-developed by Virtuoso Coffee × Intenso Coffee Roaster Vietnam. A meeting of Japanese inspiration, Vietnamese craftsmanship, and floral elegance in a cup.
Like stepping quietly into a rose garden at dawn, this blend carries the feeling of soft morning light, a gentle breeze, layered petals, and a stillness that lingers.
In Japan, rose gardens bloom most beautifully from May to June, and once again in the cool air of autumn. Red roses often symbolize love, elegance, passion, and refined beauty, while expansive rose gardens evoke a quiet romanticism and nostalgic calm often associated with Japanese seasonal appreciation.
Crafted with Myanmar Lactic Anaerobic Fermentation, Kenya SL28 & SL34, and Vietnam Natural coffees, the cup opens delicately with the fragrance of rose flowers, followed by bright lychee, golden honey, and softly layered berry sweetness, with a tea-like texture and medium body.

The Beauty of Japan's Rose Gardens
「La Vie en Rose」 draws inspiration from the quiet romance of Japan’s rose gardens, バラ園. In late spring and autumn, roses bloom richly in the cool air, filling the gardens with deeper fragrance and soft layers of color. Walking through these spaces is often less about grandeur, and more about stillness, soft morning light, gentle breeze, drifting floral aromas, and moments of calm reflection.
Red roses have long symbolized love, elegance, passion, and refined beauty. In Japan, they are admired with subtlety and emotional depth, appreciated not only for how they look, but for the atmosphere they create and the feelings they quietly leave behind.
More than a coffee, this blend was crafted to capture this feeling in a cup: delicate florals, layered sweetness, and a lingering sense of warmth, romance, and quiet beauty.
As the cup settles, floral sweetness rises and soft fruit notes emerge. Clean, balanced, and gently rounded, the finish lingers with quiet grace.
Celebrate international craftsmanship and timeless artistry.
What makes 「La Vie en Rose」 truly special is the collaboration behind it. First developed by Tuan Anh, owner of Intenso Coffee Roaster in Vietnam, then further refined by Gwen of Virtuoso Coffee and roasted in Japan, this blend carries the craftsmanship of an international coffee team.
The beans used are Myanmar Lactic Anaerobic Fermentation, Kenya SL28 & SL34, and Vietnam Arabica Natural, each adding its own quiet beauty to the cup. Myanmar brings a soft floral aroma, refined sweetness, and smooth fruit-forward character, while Kenya adds brightness, structure, juicy berry notes, and elegant complexity. Vietnam Arabica Natural completes the blend with gentle depth, honey-like sweetness, and a ripe fruit finish, creating a coffee that feels beautifully balanced, expressive, and softly romantic.
We hope you enjoy the coffee.
