Coffee culture, reimagined
Coffee is delicious—a ritual that kickstarts the day. From the careful pour of a drip to the delicate brew of an espresso, coffee has a type of richness and complexity that gives people a bright-eyed look and a sense of comfort. But, whether you prefer a quiet morning of solitude or the social buzz of a trendy café, coffee lovers will vouch that they can take it in any form anywhere. The BAZAAR’s team favourite at the moment is the HWC coffee at Bape café.
Here’s everything you need to know about the HWC Coffee collaboration with Bape café:
Adding a milestone into their history, HWC Coffee recently collaborated with Bape café—creating a new coffee culture in Kuala Lumpur. This collaboration goes beyond just opening a café—it creates a stylish, creative, and Instagram-worthy coffee drinking experience for urban customers who love the lifestyle.
The highlight of this collaboration is the introduction of two premium speciality coffees rarely found in the Malaysian market, the Panama Geisha Blend and the Panama Los Lajones Geisha Honey 12D (LLGH)— RM59 per pour-over cup or RM299 per 227g bag.
Coffee is a multi-sensory journey that begins long before the first sip. The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans releases complex aromatic compounds—from floral and fruity notes to rich chocolate and caramel undertones—that prepare the palate for what’s to come. But, merging together with the aesthetics of the Bape café, coffee lovers will rejoice in the ambience too. Coffee here becomes more than a beverage—it transforms into a lifestyle statement and a shared cultural experience
