Coffee is not only a pick-me-up for busy Hong Kongers, but it also represents a fusion of traditional and modern, local and international flavors. In recent years, many coffee lovers are keen in exploring various new coffee products, promoting the popularity of hand-poured coffee, coffee wine, and other coffee products. Coffee has been an indispensable part of our life but do you know that 1st October is International Coffee Day?
International Coffee Day is initiated by the International Coffee Organization, first held in Milan, Italy in 2015 and with the aim of arousing people's interest in coffee beverages and recognize the efforts of coffee practitioners. In honor of this global celebration, LOUDER has curated a series of coffee products paired with delightful snacks for you to delve into the world of coffee. Let's explore these pairings!
[Hot Coffee and Dessert Pairing]
1. Harmony Coffee Coffee Beans (4 options: Brazil, Winey Yunnan, Ethiopia, and Costa Rica) X JAMMIE JAM Meringue Cookies (3 options: Matcha, Hojicha, and Earl Grey)
Harmony Coffee, overseen by local instructors certified by the Specialty Coffee Association, brings you top-quality coffee beans from four regions—Cerrado, Brazil; Volcan Azul, Costa Rica; Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia; and Yunnan, China. Each coffee variant offers unique flavors, like lychee, new brew, and dark chocolate. The 'Happiness' coffee bean, with pineapple bubble wine and lavender notes, is particularly popular among our shoppers. For those who prefer a pine aroma with a hint of bitterness, the deep-roasted Brazilian coffee will be a good fit. Paired with JAMMIE JAM's subtly burnt, melt-in-your-mouth French-style roasted tea protein crisps, it's an exemplary afternoon tea combination.
