Our Story
GREAT STORIES ARE OFTEN MADE OVER COFFEE
The journey started off as a casual conversation over a cup of coffee in late 2018… with decades of industry experience between us and honest feedback from dear friends in the F&B industry it dawned upon us that India was ready and hungry for more. Where can I get this Aged Rum? Is Mezcal available in India? Does any importer have a Chateau Neuf de pape Blanc? We heard them all and got to work
Over two years of research and many a zoom call we reached out to producers from across the globe and started to curate that exclusive portfolio which we are very proud off. The journey has just begun, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we introduce the best the world has to offer to India.
