In today’s episode, we speak with Teodora Pitis, Owner of Sloane Coffee in Romania.
Inspired by visits to London’s bustling specialty scene, Teodora launched Sloane Coffee in 2016 with a vision to bring that spirit of craft and innovation to Romania’s emerging café market. The business has since grown to a thriving wholesale roastery with two experiential tasting rooms in Bucharest.
In this conversation, Teodora shares her ambition to elevate Romania’s specialty coffee scene within the global coffee community and reflects on the unique dynamics of this young market that has developed at a remarkable speed.
