The story begins with Mr. Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab Al-Hamwi in the middle of the twentieth century, in a warm and small place, where he was a young man who dreamed of serving his own blend of coffee.

His true passion for coffee is what made him put a lot of effort into preparing the right recipe for a perfect cup of coffee.

And in the year 1951 AD, his patience and his long-awaited dream came true by opening his first small shop, where he was roasting and grinding fresh coffee beans that he carefully selected.

After decades of hard work, the small shop has grown into nine factories around the world.
