PPP Coffee's Coffee Omakase: An Elevated Coffee Experience

Singapore's coffee scene has witnessed remarkable evolution over the years, but PPP Coffee has pushed boundaries by introducing our first coffee omakase experience. This intimate experience reimagines how specialty coffee can be presented and enjoyed, drawing inspiration from Japanese culinary traditions.

The Establishment: From Papa Palheta to PPP Coffee

PPP Coffee is previously known as Papa Palheta, with one reason being that customers found it hard to pronounce the name. PPP Coffee is a leading specialty coffee boutique specialising in sourcing, roasting and serving specialty coffee in Singapore and Malaysia. The brand operates multiple locations, but their New Bahru outlet at 46 Kim Yam Road stands out as the exclusive venue for their coffee omakase experience.

The Omakase Experience: A Journey Through Gesha

Taking place at their 6-seater omakase bar, PPP Coffee is kicking off this season's Coffee Omakase experience with the highly prized Gesha varietal. The experience centers around the legendary Gesha coffee, a varietal that commands premium prices for good reason.

What Makes Gesha Special

The Gesha originated from Ethiopia, the land of coffees with vibrant fruity and floral characteristics. Geshas are incredibly hard to grow, therefore the high price tag. They yield much lesser per harvest as compared hence making each bag an exclusivity. Its exceptionally sweet and floral taste notes is what makes it unique and versatile when it comes to various brewing methods.

The Three-Course Coffee Journey

In this Coffee Omakase experience, expect to enjoy the highly prized Gesha brewed in three ways: Hot & Cold Brews Hot Filter Signature Cocktail. Each coffee is presented using a different preparation method that best brings out the flavours of the coffee that is being served to you.

The progression allows guests to experience the full spectrum of Gesha's flavor profile:

• Hot Brew: Showcasing the coffee's floral and fruity characteristics in their purest form

• Cold Brew: Highlighting different flavor notes through temperature extraction

• Signature Cocktail: A creative interpretation that pushes the boundaries of coffee presentation

Food Pairings and Pastry Program

Alongside the beverage, you can look forward to specially crafted sweet treats that is designed to bring out different flavours and tastes of the experience without stealing the ultimate limelight of the show - the coffee. The experience is presented alongside a pastry program curated by Sandra Lee, known for her work at renowned local patisseries.

The thoughtful pairing ensures that each sweet complement enhances rather than competes with the coffee's natural flavours, creating a harmonious progression throughout the experience.

Ambience and Setting

The outlet is luxurious, featuring a sophisticated design that includes a long counter with a display of LP records, creating an atmosphere that blends coffee culture with music appreciation.

The record bar however has another purpose. Together with the service island in front, this is a place where personalised coffee can be prepared. This dual-purpose design adds to the venue's unique character and provides an engaging backdrop for the omakase experience.

Pricing and Value

The Coffee Omakase experience is priced at S$59.95 and can be booked through Klook. Considering that Gesha is one of the world's most expensive coffee varietals, the price point reflects the exclusivity and quality of the offering that coffee connoisseurs will appreciate.

The Verdict

PPP Coffee's omakase represents a significant evolution in Singapore's coffee culture, elevating the beverage from casual consumption to ceremonial appreciation. PPP coffee is one to visit to redefine your experience of drinking coffee.
