Mese Coffee

「A sip of home-roasted Yirgacheffe kicked off my coffee maker life.」

The cafeteria is located in a traditional old house next to Tien Hou Temple at Taitung City. The owner Rory named it after his grandmother’s maiden name. With great passion for coffee, Rory had worked for Starbucks before he opened this cafeteria. At a time he roasted green beans to make his coffee and immediately fell in love with the slightly sour flavor with fruity fragrance. After this experience, he started to pick and roast coffee beans by himself and enjoy the hand-made coffee with distinctive flavors. Later on, he returned to his homeland and opened the cafeteria to secure absolute freedom of innovation and share his passion with his guests in the hope of bringing them comfort with his coffee. Rory has made a lot effort to maintain high quality in his coffee. He does not like the bitter flavor of burnt beans and handles different kinds of beans with light or medium roasting according to their characteristics in order to bring out their natural sweetness, fruity sour flavors and flowery fragrances. Each type of bean has a distinctive flavor and fragrance because of his hard work. Many cafeterias buy all their coffee beans through import and Mese Coffee is an exception. Made with local coffee beans Rory found in Taitung, “Wilderness Coffee” features a distinctive taste with a blueberry flavor and fruity and lily fragrance. Its taste is just as impressive as other types of foreign coffee beans. “Wilderness Coffee” is top of the menu and is a must-try choice for the guests.
