Oriental Coffee and Tea
The story so far
So the legend goes, that Kaldi (an Ethiopian goat herder) noticing that when his flock nibbled on the bright red cherries of a certain bush they became more energetic, chewed on the fruit himself. His exhilaration prompted him to bring the cherries to an Islamic monk in a nearby monastery, but the monk disapproved of their use and threw them on the fire, from which an enticing aroma billowed. The roasted beans were quickly raked from the embers, ground up and dissolved in hot water, yielding the world’s first cup of coffee.

The origin of coffee has an interesting story. It is said that Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder, noticed that his goats were unusually energetic after eating bright red berries from a certain tree. Curious, he tasted the berries himself and found that he felt instantly refreshed.
He took the fruit to a nearby monastery to try, but the monks disagreed with its use and threw it into a fire. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma of roasted seeds wafted out. Impressed, they ground the seeds and brewed them with hot water, creating the drink we know today as "coffee."
We believe that good coffee is more than just good-tasting. Oriental Coffee and Tea therefore prioritizes every step, from selecting the origin of the coffee beans, roasting, brewing, to delivering it to you.
We take pride in our commitment to selecting high-quality products at affordable prices. We work closely with local farmers to support their way of life and culture, because we know that things made with heart always taste better.
Our coffee beans are freshly roasted in small batches to ensure that every time you open a bag of Oriental Coffee and Tea, you experience the best aroma and flavor…just like they've been freshly roasted from the roastery.
Coffee is about care, and we're proud to share the wonderful story from sprout to cup with you.
