Our vocation is to produce exceptional coffees, from natural and sustainable agriculture, to make coffee time an art of living on a daily basis.
If coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world, it is most often seen:
– mistreated, its culture is often industrial,
– usurped, its traceability is random,
– standardized, its taste is often formatted, charcoal and bitter.
Coffee has been an art since the 15th century. MOMUS wants to contribute to restoring its nobility, with respect, requirement and integrity, to reveal its infinite aromatic richness.
Our coffee expert, Daniela Capuano, Meilleur Ouvrière de France en Roasting, seeks out the noblest and most exclusive varieties from producers she selects for their high standards and environmental awareness.
Coffee becomes a perfect moment, for yourself, to share or to offer.
“Remember this name, it will soon be on everyone’s lips.”
The name of the house is borrowed from the God of artists, Momus, an impertinent and mischievous Olympian deity, who, in 1810, gave his name to a Parisian café, where the avant-garde intellectual and artistic world met, between the Louvre and the Pont-Neuf: Baudelaire, Chateaubriand, Taine, Sainte-Beuve, Nadar, Courbet, Renan brought this place to life with their creative energy and passionate exchanges.
Immortalized in 1851 by Henry Murger's novel, Scènes de la vie de bohème, the Café MOMUS of the time inspired Puccini for his opera La Bohème, where he staged this place of Parisian artistic life.
Today, it is to this spirit of sharing and creative freedom that MOMUS pays homage, naturally drawing from it its vision of a publishing house of exceptional coffees.
RARE, GOOD, RIGHT, BEAUTIFUL.
From grain to cup, it is around these four adjectives that we base our approach and our choices:
RARE: which is original, sought after, which is not common.
GOOD: having superior qualities, providing pleasure, agreeableness, generosity and benevolence.
FAIR: which respects equity, which is legitimate and conforms to a requirement.
BEAUTIFUL: which arouses aesthetic pleasure, which provokes a feeling of admiration and fullness.
Our coffeeologist's approach leads her to producers meticulously selected for their high standards. It is from their micro-lots that MOMUS offers four editions:
– The Original Editions, varieties of pure origin, harvested at altitude on the noblest terroirs of the equatorial belt,
– Les Éditions de Créateurs, which invites personalities from the world of art to infuse their sensitivity into the blending of a coffee. MOMUS guarantees them the best raw materials and gives them carte blanche to create unique tastes that reflect them.
– Custom Editions, which give everyone the freedom to compose their own blend: from the blend of pure origin coffees to the decoration of the box, everything becomes personalized and unique.
– Les Éditions Découvertes, which, like a Pléiade in several volumes, allow you to become an expert collector.
To guarantee the quality of our grands crus, we are committed to:
– Identify noble terroirs, where coffee trees grow in the shade of the canopy,
– Carefully choose the most beautiful varieties,
– Select only producers who preserve the environment, through organic, natural or agro-forestry farming,
– Limit yourself to manual harvesting and natural processing methods that do not consume water,
– Offer a short menu, which changes with the seasons,
– Roasted in an artisanal manner in a certified organic French workshop,
– Protect the grains from light and air in recyclable paper packaging, from sustainably cultivated forests.
Being fair means being fully aware of our responsibility towards the environment, but also towards people:
– We are committed, humbly but consistently, to limiting our footprint on the planet.
– We publish growers who share this same requirement for sustainable development.
– We promote direct supply by limiting intermediaries, while strictly respecting the interests of farmers.
– We maintain long-term relationships with our partners and offer them a purchase price well above the official stock market prices, which allows them to invest in quality, to live from their work and to be proud of it.
Beauty according to MOMUS is a scrupulous requirement for every detail.
– MOMUS packaging is of minimalist elegance, where soft curves contrast with the rigor of the line and where the chromatic associations harmonize with the aromas.
– They are made from high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, for a coffee that is both ethical and aesthetic.
We believe that coffee time is conducive to beautiful encounters. Coffee becomes a moment of rediscovered hedonism, a daily, intimate luxury, like a little sweet drug for oneself, to share and to offer.
