Founder, Kenneth Shoji, wrote a beautiful piece of writing about why he founded % Arabica.

Being raised by parents who were enthusiasts of a universal language called ‘’Esperanto”, we would travel abroad every summer to attend a “World Esperanto Congress” held in different countries.

I truly need an amazing cup of coffee every day. This is why I founded
