PRODUCT HISTORY
Greece was under Turkish occupation for 400 years. It was also then that the Turks taught the Greeks to drink coffee. The Greeks became so fond of Turkish coffee that they were the first to sell ready-made ground coffee to prepare at home. It was the idea of the Loumidis brothers, whose brand Λουμίδης Παπαγάλος (Loumidis Papagalos) is still associated with good coffee and their slogan is known even to small children.
„Ο καθένας είναι καλός στον τομέα του και ο Λουμίδης στον καφέ.”/”Everyone is good in their field and Loumidis is good in coffee.”
