We make the difference in coffee

Meise Botanic Garden is a specialist in coffee. We have been researching coffee plants for decades - one of our researchers even discovered a new coffee plant species in 2021. Because more than 60% of wild coffee species are threatened with extinction, Meise Botanic Garden is fully committed to the preservation of plants around the world. With KAWA we go back to the roots of coffee: as the original name for coffee from Turkish and Arabic it’s also referring to its origin in Ethiopia. 

Original coffee flavours, herbal wine and other tasty drinks

Stop by for a coffee moment or take a break during your visit to the Botanic Garden. In KAWA, you will find the delicious coffee of roaster OR, as well as sweet snacks. You can also enjoy a cold drink (water, soft drinks, beer, herbal wine, sparkling wine). And a nice library with plant books. Did you know that we also get ingredients from our Culinary Garden?
