Lid-and-Base Box · Color Relief · Tactile Narrative · 10 Designs From Origin to Cup
Origins
The flavor of coffee is decided long before the bean leaves the branch. From the East African highlands to the Malay Archipelago — five origins, five souls.
Ethiopia · The First Sip
"Before coffee was a drink, it was a goat's discovery."
It all began in Ethiopia. Forest green relief captures the primal energy of coffee's birthplace.
Kenya · Hand-Sorted
"Every bean passes through hands that know."
Kenya's AA-grade beans, each one touched by human hands. Wine-red relief honors the red soil and knowing fingers.
Colombia · Above the Clouds
"The best coffee grows where clouds sleep."
High-altitude cloud forests of the Andes. Pale blue-grey relief captures the stillness of mist through coffee canopies.
Guatemala · Volcano-Fed
"Volcanoes destroy. Volcanoes also feed."
Smoky depth born of volcanic soil. Deep terracotta relief — the tension between destruction and nourishment.
Indonesia · Monsoon-Born
"The monsoon strips everything away. What remains is pure."
Sumatra's wet-hulling process. Black-gold relief, as deep and earthy as post-monsoon soil.
Craft
From green bean to cup — five stages, five transformations. Each step a dialogue between time and fire.
Roast · Through Fire
"A green seed becomes a black jewel. Fire is the only alchemist."
Green beans crack, darken, and release oils at 200°C. Caramel-brown relief — the precise alchemy of flame and time.
Grind · Unlock
"What's locked inside must be broken to be freed."
Whole beans reduced to powder, flavor compounds released from cell walls. Sand-gold relief with gradient textures from coarse to fine.
Pour Over · Bloom
"The moment water touches coffee, everything begins."
92°C water meets grounds — bloom, expand, drip. Ripple relief capturing the ritual of liquid passing through paper.
Crema · 30 Seconds
"Perfection has a window. It opens for 30 seconds, then closes forever."
Under 9 bars of pressure, the crema layer rises like velvet. Golden-brown relief — a faithful rendering of tiger-stripe texture.
Latte Art · Meeting
"White invades darkness. Darkness accepts. Beauty happens."
Milk foam meets espresso in the final act. Ivory floating on dark brown, a leaf unfurling within a heart — the last ritual.
