What the roaster says

WHY IS IT CALLED THE FORBIDDEN FLOWER? By many references, the Forbidden Flower refers to something widely used to help with medicinal or recreational purposes. Many say it gives a calm, relaxed feeling as well as giving energy. Just like this Forbidden Flower, that’s what we say about this coffee. We enjoyed all of the fantasies in it.

When we taste this coffee, it gives us such a sense of tranquility and happiness.

Unveil a forbidden paradise. Our blend presents super floral Jasmine, Lavender, Lime, and Guava, inspired by the mythical Forbidden Flower.

Ethiopian florals meet the smooth depths of Javanese Prau, creating an impossible dream – a cup overflowing with forbidden delights. Complete your Forbidden journey and celebrate the unexpected.
