Welcome to
TOAST BOX
Traditional Nanyang Coffee - Kopi, which we fondly call in Nanyang, is different from the coffee roasted in other parts of the world because of its roasting process – Coffee Torrefacto. In this local traditional charcoal roasting process, a small amount of butter is added to the mixture of carefully selected beans, roasted in a drum at approximately 200ºC. This unique coffee blend is made popular back in the good old colonial days where Hainanese, who learnt the art of coffee brewing from Westerners, introduced this unique culture to the locals. Nanyang Coffee is brewed with the coffee powder strained through a cloth sack and the kopi chef displaying his art of brewing, pulling the coffee from the pot from a high distance into a small porcelain cup. Not forgetting to add hot water as the kopi from the pot is usually very concentrated. Kopi brewing is a dying trade that takes lots of years of practice to brew a cup of aromatic.
Nanyang Coffee. This traditional kopi culture has been passed down generations till today where many are still carrying their forefather's trade.
