In conversation: How Taha Bouqdib is creating a global legacy with Bacha Coffee
Prologue: They say lightning doesn’t strike twice. Try telling that to Taha Bouqdib, serial entrepreneur extraordinaire and President and CEO of V3 Gourmet, the parent company of TWG Tea and Bacha Coffee (of which he is Co-Owner). In 2008, the Moroccan businessman created TWG Tea in Singapore, positioning it as a premier luxury brand. Offering more than 1,000 varieties of loose-leaf teas and modern accessories for tea lovers, TWG Tea has expanded to more than 70 locations globally across 17 countries (including a strong travel retail presence). Building on this success, Bouqdib turned his attention to coffee, reviving the historic Moroccan Bacha Coffee brand in 2019. Inspired by the famed original establishment in Marrakech’s Dar el Bacha palace, Bacha Coffee offers over 200 varieties of 100% Arabica coffees, reflecting Bouqdib’s obsession with quality, heritage and variety. Under his helmsmanship, Bacha Coffee has embarked on an ambitious global expansion, including the opening of its first European flagship on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, and over 150 locations worldwide. And travel retail is front of mind in that development agenda. As the company gears up its efforts in the channel, Bouqdib spoke to The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie about the Bacha Coffee journey to date and what lies ahead. The ensuing conversation offers a rare and illuminating insight into the passion, pride and principles of a man who views coffee not just as a beverage but as an experience.
