est. Dubai — a coffee field guide
Field notes on flavour.
A roastery and slow-bar in Alserkal Avenue. We taste, weigh, and scribble down everything worth knowing about a coffee — so every cup you order comes with a story already written.
Sidama Natural, Ethiopia
Batch Brew · blueberry · strawberry jam · cane sugar
We keep field notes.
Coffee is agriculture that behaves like memory. A washed Yirgacheffe smells of the morning it was picked; a natural Sidama tastes of the beds it dried on. Most of that story is lost between the farm and your cup — so we started writing it down.
Every origin that comes through our door is cupped, scored, and annotated before it is allowed on the shelf. We note the altitude, the process, the roast curve, and the one thing that made the table go quiet. Then we hand you the short version, warm, in a cup.
we cup every bag before it earns a shelf
