Discover Southeast Asia’s coffee cultures through stories, tastes, and hands-on play in this immersive, multi-sensory workshop. Journey across historic maritime trade routes to uncover how coffee travelled between ports, shaping regional flavours, brewing techniques, and the social rituals that continue to define everyday life in coastal cities. Participants will enjoy guided tastings paired with cultural and historical insights, deepening appreciation for the diversity within each cup. The experience culminates in a hands-on coffee-making session led by Kaffeign, featuring beans linked to historic sea routes and trade exchanges. Come curious, leave caffeinated — and experience coffee not just as a beverage, but as a living story of movement, encounter, and connection across Southeast Asia.
