Coffland Corp: Meet the Most Famous Coffee Drink at Germany

A German coffee legacy passes right to you!

Coffee drinks have the flavor and aroma according to the preparation of the country it’s served. For example, while Colombian and Venezuelan people prefer a dense body and intense flavor without disturbing the natural taste of coffee. In Asia, the mixing of unusual ingredients create the craziest coffee experiences, like the Yuanyuang (made with Hong Kong tea) or Aam Panna (an Indian beverage made from raw mango).

Here at Coffland Corp, we encourage the coffee diversity. That's why we look for the most particular histories of our favorite drink. In today's post, we will travel to the fields close to Valhalla, the paradise of germanic coffee. Keep reading and pack your mug!

“Ihr Pharisaer”: the story behind the glass cup

Back in 1872, in Germany, the royalty was an open buyer of alcohol, coffee, and other beverages.

Gustav Beyer, a well-known pastor, was a public figure that recriminated the consume of liqueur because, according to his word, it woke up the demons inside the human soul. Because of that, people started to hide their guilty pleasure by mixing the strong flavor of alcohol with other dense ingredients while they were in front of him.

One day, Beyer was the host of a popular baptism. Because alcoholic beverages were not allowed at religious events, an anonymous drinker mixed his rum glass with fresh coffee and whipped cream. However, Beyer noted the aroma and demanded to taste the drink. His words? “Ihr Pharisaer!” (oh, you, Pharisees!)

After that, this beverage wins popularity around the country until it was named a traditional beverage.

Prepare the Kaiser for German coffee!

It's not hard to prepare a Der Pharisaer, the only things you'll need is dark rum (as you like it, to Germans, there is never enough liqueur!), one strong coffee cup, half cup of whipped cream and sugar.

First, choose a large, extended cup, where the cream doesn't collapse. Add the coffee and the sugar (if it's necessary), then add the rum. Mix it well and put the creamy touch until reaches the edge of the cup.

Here at Coffland Corp, we love coffee in all its presentations. Now that you know more about the Der Pharisaer, your palates will enjoy the best Nordic coffee beverage. Share your experience with us in our social media accounts!
