Company Profile : |
Ronnie Abro's The Cultured Bean bears testimony to his passion for coffee which holds a certain mystique for him. "Coffee is like whisky, but much nicer." He refers to terms like blends, rounded and single varietal.
His market stand stocks about 25 single varietal blends from Brazil, Costa Rica and Indonesia, as well as the Ethiopian Limu and Sidamo (a lovely red coffee for filter coffees), and Falcon Zambica AAA.
He also sells Taste of Africa, a formulated blend of Kenyan, Malawian, Zambian, Ethiopian and Zimbabwean coffees.
Ronnie finds customers have lots to learn about coffee culture and hopes that his passion for his product is infectious. When would-be coffee aficionados complain that their plunger coffee is too weak, Ronnie tells them to warm both the plunger and the mugs and to keep the milk at room temperature. "It's all about the brew system," he says.
