Mori Coffee

Mori Coffee traces its roots to 1928, when a family of Japanese immigrants settled in Parana state, Brazil, and began growing and roasting coffee. Nearly a century later, Avi Castineiras and Pedro Tanoira brought those beans to Santiago de Compostela, opening their first space at the Mercado de Abastos in February 2021. A second space followed in April 2022 inside the historic El Rhin building, preserving its original 1960s glass storefront. The coffee comes from Fazenda Mori, still run by the third generation of the founding family, and this marks the first time the farm's coffee has been sold outside Brazil. Japanese decorative elements inside the space honor that heritage. Mori's philosophy holds that coffee deserves the same attention and respect as wine, and the pairing of Brazilian farming tradition with Galician hospitality makes for something genuinely distinctive.
