Our brew is true
Our Journey
Today, we live in a world where almost everything has a filter, and we find ourselves trying to live up to ideals that society, friends and family have of us. Exhausted, we hide behind our screens where we feel trapped and isolated; finding a place outside of social media where we can express ourselves and feel the warmth of community has become increasingly difficult.
“A single cup of coffee commits to forty years of friendship.”
-Turkish Proverb
Traditionally, coffee has played such a heavily ingrained role in social connection. Countries such as Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, and Turkey, where the oldest brewing method originated; people spend hours together each day drinking it! To be invited is a sign of respect and friendship.
Different cultures approach coffee in different ways. In Turkish, we say “Bir Fincan Kahvenin Kırk Yıl Hatırı Vardır” which means “a single cup of coffee commits to forty years of friendship.” It has always been more about gathering and engaging in open dialogue than about the coffee itself.
In Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, a common saying is “Buna dabo naw.” This literally translates to “coffee is our bread.”
In America, we say “…but first, coffee!” Our fast-paced culture has influenced how we take our coffee. We want it fast and it’s usually taken to-go! It isn’t something we typically take the time to enjoy, but rather, it serves to get us through our day. Even then, we find ourselves complaining that we haven’t had enough. If only there was a magical cup of joe that was strong enough to do that! Well, now there is! One thing for sure is, when you drink our coffee, you’re going to want to take your time and enjoy it, because it’s just that good. Bring your friends and enjoy the full experience.
With that said, we warmly extend our friendship and invite you to try a cup of our specialty coffee!
Our Grind is Traditional
Since Turkish coffee requires an extra fine grind, preserving the nutrients extracted from each bean during the grinding process can be a challenge. Modern burr and disc grinder create excessive heat. We use an original stone mill grinder which avoids overheating our coffee. This ensures the integrity of the flavor and aroma of our coffee at maximum level!
What is Turkish Coffee?
For starters, it uses the oldest brewing method known to the coffee world. The grind is extra fine and the roast is light to medium. This coats the palate with a rich, chocolatey and nutty flavor that goes down smooth. The experience is everything!
Why Turkish coffee?
Because it’s original and unfiltered, just like you. It is most appreciated as is, grinds and all. This serves as a reminder to us that we too are no different. It is our unique and individual grind which makes us strong in who we are, just like Turkish coffee. Our brew is true, inspired by you!
