TOMORROW is International Coffee Day, and there's no better way to celebrate it than with your favourite Joe.
Whether French Press, cold brew, or cafe latte, drinking a good cup of coffee is an essential and satisfying way to start the day.
Here are some coffee trivia and recommendations to caffeinate your day, when you are in Pavilion Bukit Jalil!
FIRST COFFEE BAR IN MALAYSIA
Jazz up your caffeine hit with CO2 Coffee Bar, which serves up nuanced coffee cocktails, or cof tails as they call them, with a fun mix of caffeine, fruits, smoky spices and herbs.
We recommend the Young-Man-Go, a blend of cold brew coffee with condensed milk and lemon juice, topped with rosemary and fresh mango — it is an incredibly refreshing pick-me-up that will leave you coming back for more!
COFFEE HAS SCORES TOO
While browsing for your perfect cup of coffee, you may have noticed a 'Coffee Review' graphic with a numeric score.
It is one of the leading coffee guides in the world by coffee sommeliers that aims to review coffees with the same level of precision and comprehensiveness as wine.
HWC Coffee has recently unveiled a new seasonal specialty coffee bean, Neroli, which scored 93 points under the Coffee Review. This makes it the highest-rated coffee bean carried by HWC Coffee!
If you are a fan of honey and floral notes, with tart fruit notes and rich aromatic woody undertones, this coffee is for you!
ROASTING IS WHAT TURNS COFFEE BROWN
The method and length of roasting give coffee beans their distinctive flavour and colour—the darker beans are considered bolder, and the lighter beans are more intensely flavoured.

COLD BREW ORIGINATED FROM KYOTO
The history of cold brew started in Japan and over the years, cold brew coffee has skyrocketed in popularity amongst coffeeholics.
The best part of it is there is no bitterness, sourness, or diluted flavour. It has a smooth
and sweet taste, which makes it a popular item on the menu.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf offers amazing cold brew, with a premium blend of Bali Blue Moon and Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee with chicory steeped cold for 20 hours for rich, vibrant flavours.
COFFEE AND BUTTER ARE A SPLENDID COFFEE COMBINATION
Why would anyone want to mix butter with their coffee? In Western countries, butter coffee is a staple for most coffeeholics.
It's usually a great way to kick-off your mornings as the caffeine mixes with the oils and the fats from the butter to provide the drinker with slow-release energy throughout the course of the day.
For those of you adventurous enough to try this unique coffee specialty, you can find it readily available at ZUS Coffee!
