Taro Vietnamese Coffee (Lunar New Year) Illness

Decided to join in on the festivities of the Lunar New Year this year and snagged the Taro Vietnamese Coffee to start off to complement the food we’d also be enjoying.

I was the only one in my group that snagged this drink, everything else we split/tried to enjoy as much food as possible.

The drink itself was good and I’ve had Vietnamese coffee before so I knew it would be strong as well but about 2-2.5 hours after finishing the drink my system started rejecting it right away. I spent the rest of my evening purging my stomach and have never had a drink wreck me like that before.

I’ve seen other posts mentioning this even from last year but just thought I’d add my own experience and warnings before some others may try it as well. I’m not sure exactly what it was that made it such a rough experience for me but since everyone else in my group was fine and it was the only thing I had differently I believe it must be what caused it.
