Experience a decadent Afternoon High Coffee at Potboiler that takes you on a journey through
three courses of savouries & sweets, paired with their in-house Specialty Coffee & Signature
Drinks.
Kolkata’s strong Colonial past has left behind certain legacies that we still partake in today. One
such has to be the concept of ‘High Tea or Afternoon Tea’. Made famous in most clubs and
hotels, an afternoon tea usually consists of a few savouries like sandwiches and sweets paired
with their afternoon or High tea. But one drawback, this concept has always been perceived for
a ‘certain class’.
But one cafe in Kolkata is breaking all norms and bringing the experience a little closer to all of
you with their Afternoon High Coffee. In a city of tea drinkers, Potboiler Coffee House has
always taken great efforts to highlight specialty coffee in the best way possible and their
Afternoon High Coffee Experience is just another step into that direction.
“Drinking coffee is an experience and we want to elevate that experience like nobody else has
in the city. At Potboiler, we have always believed in serving experiences and what better than
an Afternoon coffee.” - Sonali Lakhotia, Founder & Chief Brewing Officer, Potboiler
What IS the Afternoon High Coffee Experience?
Picture this, a three tier stand filled with savoury sandwiches, tarts, scones with berry compote
and some in-house baked goods, and all of this paired with tasting portions of different coffees -
black, milk-based and a third where coffee acts just as an ingredient. All the coffees are brewed
using their signature house blend from Bloom Coffee Roasters.The High-Coffee experience at
Potboiler aims to highlight not just the different ways coffee can be served but also how coffee
roast profile and coffee estate and regions impact the final cup.
“Kolkata as a city has accepted a new wave of Cafe and coffee culture. One can now
distinguish an Americano from a Pour-Over. Consumers have started looking for region-specific
beans, so we thought this would be the best time to elevate the coffee experience.
We have paired flavours and food dishes that people are familiar with, with different kinds of
coffees. Each pairing aims at highlighting different aspects of coffees and how it works on our
palette.''
What makes this experience different is how inclusive the whole experience is. It isn’t just the
menu but also the barista(s) who interact and explain how and why each coffee is paired with
that one specific food dish from the menu. It's definite, this experience is going to be like no
other.
“There is coffee for everyone and we want to ensure people look at coffee & food pairing with a
new eye with this.” - Sonali
