Spirits of Kaldi

The name Spirits of Kaldi and our logo refer to the discovery of coffee as an invigorating drink by man and goats, respectively.

According to legend, Kaldi was a goat herder from Ethiopia who, around the year 850, noticed that whenever his goats ate certain red berries from a certain bush, they suddenly became very energetic and jumped around hyperactively.

He tried the berries himself and, excited by their effect, took them to an Islamic monk. He was not at all taken with them and threw them into the fire in disgust, whereupon a seductive scent suddenly filled the room. The beans were quickly picked up, crushed and brewed with water, creating the world's first coffee.

For our Coffee Gin, a conglomerate of bartenders and baristas got together and tasted various coffees and compositions of different beans. Over time, different flavor profiles were worked out and the individual components that make up Coffee Gin today were brought to light.

In the connection of coffee and gin, it is our personal concern to bring together the worlds of cocktail bar and coffee house through our products.
