The 1948 Declaration Blend Backstory
In today’s fast paced world, everything seems accelerated by automation and mass production. Yet one cannot help wondering what it might feel like to step back in time and experience life as it once was. Would the pace be gentler, the moments richer, and the coffee more thoughtfully crafted? With that thought in mind, we invite you to taste a creation from the 1940s and decide for yourself.
Based on The Nairobi Coffee and Tea Company’s original 1948 blend, The Declaration Blend remains faithful to the character of the coffee enjoyed in that remarkable year. 1948 was a pivotal moment in human history. On the tenth of December, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was formally adopted, a moment when nations stood together and affirmed the dignity and worth of every human being. It is a date now observed around the world as Human Rights Day.
To commemorate this historic achievement, we have revived a blend from 1948 so you can experience a taste of history in the making. This distinguished coffee was crafted with exceptional care and was once prized by luxurious hotels and grand establishments. Coffee has not been made like this in decades, and we hope it transports you to an age of reflection and enlightenment.
Collect all 10 Heritage Coffees and experience luxury heritage coffee from pivotal points in history. The past has never tasted so good.
