Traditional coffee freshly brewed in claypots to fuel the CBD

 

Traditional coffee freshly brewed in claypots is quite the sight to behold today. But to fuel the working class in the CBD, one man doesn’t mind the extra elbow grease. Brewing in claypots—a practice dating back over 200 years old—induces slower heat dispersion and acts as a vessel that retains heat well after the brew. This results in a much more even brew where the coffee tastes smoother and richer. Using beans imported from Malaysia, the coffee tastes balanced yet not lacking in strength and even sports a frothy head. If you are into teas, teh are also prepared the same way.
