The Motherland Coffee Company cafe in St. George’s Mall makes a damn fine chicken, tomato, bacon & cheese panini. Also, the company roasts some damn fine beans.
The only beans available for take-away seems to be their Rwandan & Ethiopian Original Blend. All Fairtrade the cashier assured me. The bag too is adorned with a link to You Are The Revolution, a website dedicated to Fairtrade coffee maintained by the company.
As for the beans, I’m loving them. A luxurious chocolate bomb followed by surprise ripe fruit. Would definitely recommend. Also pleasing are the quirky preparation instructions which start with:
Must be made from the heart. Do not prepare while angry.
All this at the very reasonable R69 for a 250g bag.
