We’re so excited for our Thieves Community to taste these three unique coffees this month by the legends over at Sydney based Stitch Coffee, and for good reason!
Stitch Coffee was born from the idea that coffee is much like a tapestry – it’s a weaving of origins, complexities and flavours that go into each batch to create something truly unique and delicious. The Stitch Coffee Team is a diverse group of experienced and highly passionate coffee specialists.
“Coffee is much like a tapestry – it’s a weaving of origins, complexities and flavours.”
Nawar Adra, Founder and Managing Director of Stitch Coffee, had humble beginnings - working as a barista in Sydney’s iconic Western Suburbs cafe, Circa Espresso. Nawar started his roasting journey with Circa when they purchased their very own Probat P5 to roast their own beans. While on the tools with Circa, he focused heavily on single origin, however, as the years passed Nawar realised there was an artistry behind the blending of origins. The merging of flavour profiles from different sources and locations created a cup with distinct complexity, structure and balance – this concept gave birth to the Stitch Coffee roastery which opened its doors in Alexandria in 2015!
