Best Coffee Ever?!
How far would you go for coffee?
Zee was at #Taipei for work recently, and his only item on his personal #itinerary was theSimple Kaffa Huashan Flagship Store
Why? To see if the existence of the NTD22,000 (~ SGD 1,000) coffee was real 👀
Pourovers are already expensive due to the labour and skill involved, must less the coveted #geishacoffee, promising delicate floral & fruity notes!
Needless to say, Zee hasn ’t mustered enough wealth to plurge on the SGD 1,000 cup, but he got himself a NTD 600 (~ SGD 25) cup of washed Geisha. His verdict?
Best cup of coffee ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️
☕️Tip: When tasting pourover, drink slowly. As the coffee cools down, the tasting notes become much much more prominent 💯
Don’t miss this cafe when you’re in Taipei. Don’t stick to your usual espresso-based drinks, give these sweet & juicy pourovers a try!
If you find yourself in Taipei searching for a unique coffee experience, Simple Kaffa definitely deserves your attention. They offer a variety of Geisha coffee beans, including those from Peru, Panama, and Costa Rica, each with distinct flavor profiles such as jasmine, lychee, citrus, and honey. I personally discovered that slowly sipping the pour-over as it cools enhances the tasting notes significantly, unveiling complexities you might miss with hot espresso. What’s also impressive is the dedication to brewing techniques at Simple Kaffa, reflecting the skill of world barista champions. This makes their menu not just a list of coffees but a journey through flavors and aroma, especially the washed Geisha varieties that highlight their terroir beautifully. For those curious about the menu, besides the premium Geisha pours, there are options like espresso-based drinks with concentrated milk, and special competitions roasts from different regions of Taiwan and beyond. It’s an excellent place to explore beyond usual espresso drinks and indulge in specialty coffee culture. Bringing your own cup here is also encouraged, aligning with their eco-friendly approach. Whether you're a seasoned barista enthusiast or just beginning to appreciate specialty coffee, Simple Kaffa’s offerings, including the subtle floral notes and juicy fruity tastes, promise a memorable experience. Don’t miss out on their unique teas too, such as chamomile and black tea blends, which complement the coffee perfectly.
