Where did Julius Meinl come from?
Founded in 1862, Julius Meinl is one of the oldest coffee roasters in the world and an iconic Vienna coffee house brand. Dedication to quality has been a family trademark for five generations. Today our coffees and teas help create meaningful moments around the world. Julius Meinl is known for premium coffee quality. We use finest Arabica coffee beans from high quality farms all over the world. Our beans are carefully selected, roasted and mostly packed in our Vienna production facility.The fez, a red head-dress with tassel, was worn widely by men in the turkish lands. When developing the julius meinl logo the ottoman fez was combined with the baroque angel widely used in central european architecture. In 1924 the viennese artist josef binder designed this coffee boy logo.The Julius Meinl logo shows a young man wearing a ‘fez’, which is an Arabic/Turkish head covering in the shape of a blunt felt cone with a tassel. This is an homage to the story of how coffee came to Vienna.
