Nazeema Abrahams, a retired Oil Industry Health, Environment and Safety Manager, with years of experience in product quality assurance decided to pursue her passion to have superior coffee readily available at local events. With her chemistry background coupled with her love for superior coffee and her entrepreneurial business spirit: the Mista Barista brand was pursued.

“My career took me to different parts of the world, and I learned to distinguish between coffee made with superior beans and those that was “just another cup of espresso based coffee”.

It is only after I did the Barista Training at Origin Barista Academy, that I learnt that every coffee bean is in fact not just another coffee bean. The grade of the bean, the way it is roasted, how it is sourced, all play a significant role in making that perfect cup of coffee.

We will always display the beans we are using, whether it is single origin or a blend. The source, roasting date are all important factors in that perfect cup of coffee.” Nazeema Abrahams
