A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Cleopatra made sure her arrival was unforgettable.
In 41 BC, Cleopatra sailed up the Cydnus River toward Tarsus aboard a magnificent barge with a gilded stern and purple sails. Plutarch tells of silver oars moving to music, incense drifting over the water, and attendants dressed as figures from mythology while crowds gathered along the riverbanks. Mark Antony had summoned the Queen of Egypt to answer allegations that she had aided his rival, Cassius. Cleopatra came, but on her own terms. Antony expected an explanation. Cleopatra gave him an entrance history would remember.
That same sense of richness inspired Cleopatra's Embrace, our deep-bodied dark roast. Baker’s chocolate brings a dark, bittersweet character to the cup, balanced by the warm sweetness of caramelized sugar. Bold, rich, and made for mornings that deserve something more memorable than the ordinary.
Pour the first cup. Embrace the richness.
