Our Story
Our journey started with exploration. Extensive traveling throughout The Middle East proved coffee, as a drink wasn’t limited to the edges of the cup, or the lingering aftertaste. It was a tradition, a social instrument that brought friends and families together. The practices within the coffee industry on the other hand were not so homely.
We wanted to introduce the unique heritage and celebrated taste to a wider audience, backing our operations by responsible practice and fresh produce. Kahwati Specialty Coffee is the only freshly made Arabian coffee in Europe, grounded daily in small batches in our roastery in London. Truly delivering the finest coffee experience.
Our Purpose
Kahwati Speciality Coffee est. 2019 was created to inspire excellence and satisfy all your coffee necessities. We see the process of brewing coffee as a ceremony and a long lasting heritage. Behind every cup of coffee is a meaningful experience.
Our grounding and blending techniques honour the finest Middle Eastern traditions and practices.
Our Mission
Coffee cultivation and trade began on the Arabian Peninsula where it gained popularity, subsequently making it’s way across the continent. Centuries later the practices within the coffee industry around The Middle East are not up to par, low quality coffee is roasted in large batches and left to dwell on shelves. Farmers are obliged to poor working conditions without receiving a proportionally fair pay.
We present a way to be a part of centuries-long traditions that is easy on your conscience. Our mission is to seek out the best coffees on Earth.
