T12: LAB is part of the same company as T12 Group, another café called TABLE12 Specialty Coffee, but we prefer to recommend it as a single store. T12:LAB, as the flagship brand of T12 Group, was established in 2016, in the form of a coffee laboratory, developing in the direction of professional research of specialty coffee, which is very different from its TABLE12 Specialty Coffee, which takes the route of commercial chains.
T12: LAB focuses on SOE, SOE is spelled as single origin espresso, which refers to espresso made from coffee beans from a single production area, because it uses high-quality coffee beans from a single production area, so the quality of espresso made by SOE is significantly higher than that of espresso made from commercial coffee beans or ordinary blended beans, and the flavor is more pure. T12: LAB stores provide 3-5 kinds of coffee beans to make SOE every day, customers can choose coffee beans according to their preferences, and the SOE here can be made into black coffee and milk coffee. If you want to taste the original flavor of coffee beans, there is also a choice of pour-over coffee, and if you are lucky, you can also meet the freshly roasted top coffee beans in the store.
T12: LAB is a wayward café with all kinds of rules and regulations just for customers to pay attention to the coffee itself. No takeaway, no sugar, no latte art, no Wifi, no loud conversations, no children under 10 years old, no groups of more than 5 people, and the "overlord clause" that requires a password to enter the door makes coffee lovers want to stop it.
T12: LAB has two floors, has its own small courtyard, Japanese style. There are no tables in the store, and the decibel meter always reminds the store staff to keep quiet, and the indoor atmosphere is comfortable.
*Encyclopedia of knowledge
Single origin coffee, espresso, and pour-over coffee are stupid and can't tell the difference?
First of all, single origin coffee is the opposite of blended coffee, which refers to coffee made from a single coffee bean.
Secondly, both Italian and hand-poured coffee brewing methods are non-juxtaposed with single origin coffee.
The espresso in the better boutique cafes can be made with single origin beans, and this espresso made from a single coffee bean is called SOE (single origin espresso).
