What is Flat Red?

Created by Vadym in Kyiv in 2016, Flat Red is a bold and beautiful new recipe combining rich espresso with the sharp, vibrant notes of pomegranate juice. It is a wonderful symphony of flavours—full of life, full of colour, and a powerful reflection of cultural identity. It is, in many ways, the bitter-sweet taste of modern Ukraine in a cup.


More Than a Drink: A Story of Culture

As Vadym explains, Flat Red is a personal crusade to showcase and amplify Ukrainian culture.

“The red is for love and the black is for sorrow,” says Vadym, referencing the eternal symbolism of Ukrainian folklore and the traditional embroidered patterns of our garments. “There is something so powerful about sharing what we create - not to impress, but to connect. I talk to the world through the language of coffee.”



The Experience

During this special cultural presentation, Vadym will share a fascinating stores of how coffee intersects with pivotal moments in Ukrainian history and has helped shape our identity. This will be followed by an exclusive tasting of his signature Flat Red coffee.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with a world-class Ukrainian artist and understand our culture on a deeper level.
