Constantly searching for improvement in their coffee taste, flavor and quality, the team took a step forward into making their own brand. They asked me to create a branding which could tell it’s story as it stand on its own, a visual touch of what you are about to experience.

My first impression as I tasted their espresso was the dense cream perfectly floating above the pitch-black coffee itself, strong in its finish, yet smooth.. Almost surreal
