Ancient traditions become a modern addiction

Ancient traditions become a modern addiction

We are living in a real café culture with blends of coffee that leave you speechless with their exotic nature and eloquence of descriptive words. 

Did you know the origin of coffee  is thought to have been Ethiopia? The earliest substantiated evidence of either  coffee  drinking or knowledge of the  coffee  tree is from the early 15th century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen, spreading soon to Mecca and Cairo. The popularity of the coffee houses was unequalled, and people frequented them for all kinds of social activity.  With the spread of coffee houses over the centuries more and more people began to engage socially, talking, listening to music, laughing, watching performers and played games.   

Is it any wonder why the café culture is so important in our life? Coffee and friends are the perfect blend! 

As a tribute to our modern coffee culture we have curated several coffee gift boxes for your enjoyment.  Coffee Break features a delectable boutique coffee brand.  We are also loving the Coffee Table gift box collection.  This features a Kinfolk travel book and reusable cups made from coffee husks!  Enjoy.

Best Regards, Michéle
