Our Story- Past

In 1951, in the heart of Beirut's historic markets, a legacy began as an enchanting aroma spread in the air, a fragrant symphony that would come to embody a culture mark. 

Ramzi Tafech embarked on this journey by opening his first Coffee Roastery at the bustling St. Michael train station in downtown Beirut. As a coffee aficionado, he meticulously crafted his iconic blends to meet the growing demand for premium delicacies. 

He offered coffee lovers exquisite Lebanese style, Turkish coffee, each creation bearing the unmistakable signature of his expertise in sourcing, roasting, and blending. 

He started by roasting his selected premium coffee beans using a traditional method he had perfected over the years, then with his mastery of blending various types of coffee beans and roasts, he skillfully created unique and flavorful blends that delighted coffee connoisseurs and captivated their senses.  

Today, we honor his legacy by upholding the same mastery process and artisanal approach, not only to deliver exceptional coffee, but also to provide an unparalleled cultural experience.

Our clientele are our guests who deserve the finest coffee, reflecting our coffee culture of hospitality & generosity.
