BEAN TO HEIDELBERG

Story of Bean to Heidelberg

Bean to Heidelberg records an experience of the coffee excellence. Nestled in Gauteng we roast African beans into carefully selected blend for you to enjoy. A blend that will lead everyone to Heidelberg, the capital of the old ZAR.

Great leaders have been to Heidelberg such as Oom Paul, Sir Winston, Oubaas Smuts, Mahatmar Ghandi and Tata Madiba to name but a few.

They changed history and history repeats itself. Now you can also be part of history as all cups lead to Heidelberg. Bean there, done it, buy our beans to prove it! Whilst you here, enjoy another cup OR experience our history EVEN MORE…

De Wets Coffee met SKOP or on Eish
General Christiaan de Wet and his brother stayed in Heidelberg. On his legendary white horse, Fleur he would later conquer the British forces. Celebrate our Irish coffee with a shot of White Horse Whiskey or two. A cup of Fleur-delight.

Give me hope, Johanna
Dr Johanna Brandt, neé Van Warmelo was born in Heidelberg. Our first woman spy wrote letters, kept diaries in her secret citric acid and published books about it. Ironing history she was also our self-proclaimed female prophet. Best remembered however for her Grape Cure to naturally combat cancer. She received international recognition. Grape the cure, it will be good for YOU.

Genl Spruyt Shandy
Our fighting General Cornelis Spruyt was captured and sent in a baggage van, as prisoner of war to Cape Town. He managed to jump from the moving train near De Aar to escape. During the Anglo Boer War he was later fatally wounded and buried in Hero’s Acre in our Kloof Cemetry. Our nursery also celebrate him.
