Sultan Barquq is a coffee you are not supposed to have had before.
The Sultan Barquq Mosque, Madrasa & Khanqah is a beautiful edifice on the historic Al Moezz Street. In the tradition of his predecessors, Sultan Barquq commissioned a fine building for community and service, but outdid everyone in Egypt by landing the finest azure Sinai Fayruz laid to any ceiling. This is a master piece that still stands, full color in effect, nearly 700 years after it was built. That is inspiring.
This coffee was roasted in December 2023. Our team roasted it, but not on our roasting machine, and not even in Egypt. As a part of an ever quest to push boundaries and dig deeper in delicious, we bought a bag (60 kg) of an experimental Robusta, roasted it all and only came back with a handful of bags of the coffee.
Out of sight and out of mind, a complete accident uncovered the treasure we had roasted and forgotten months ago. We couldn’t believe how fresh it tasted.
A quick R&D spin married a beautiful Natural Sidamo, from Ethiopia with this incredible Fine Robusta from Vietnam for a shockingly fine cup of Ibrik.
Jackfruit, Tutti Frutti, Stewed Plum, Black Raisins, Dark Chocolate. This is very serious.
Love it or hate, we guarantee one thing only: you haven’t had Ibrik like this before.
This is a limited run.
The world’s fruits from Cairo roots.
