The endeavor to reshape a functional item into a work of art
THE SEED & THE VOLCANO (espresso cup & saucer)
VAT included.
The Seed has been a crucial element of TLAKO since 2017. It has been the most sincere manner to present our coffee as an espresso. The shape of the cup represents a coffee seed, a coffee bean.
The Volcano, the saucer, is the newest addition to this iconic cup. It stylishly and innovatively brings further grounding and stability to the Seed.
They are handcrafted in Mexico by ANFORA, a family firm with over 100 years of experience and passion. The Seed and the Volcano are dishwasher safe and can go into the freezer and in the oven at up to 200° C.

A GEM OF CRAFTMANSHIP & DESIGN
THE ART OF COFFEE
The SEED represents the labor and expertise of the producer, while the VOLCANO represents the elemental forces of nature and their nurturing role. Together, they transform drinking coffee into a ritual that honors farmers and the coffee's journey, turning a functional item into an artistic celebration.
A RECIPE TO ERADICATE POVERTY
SUSTAINABLE & DELICIOUS
For many years, the coffee-producing communities living and working on the Tacaná Volcano (Chiapas, Mexico) were at the mercy of intermediaries, commonly known in Mexico as coyotes.
Nowadays, these communities can live from their work, send their children to school, and have a fruitful life. Their coffee is 100% organic, has obtained a Rainforest Alliance certification, developed a blockchain platform, and has become a case study at Harvard University.
We visited the communities for the first time in 2015 and immediately fell in love with the people, the place, and the project.
