Awaiting the winter solstice, KALVE wishes to highlight and honor our Latvian traditions – \u0136ekatas or Mummery. In our view, \u0136ekatas were and still are a magical and important ritual for Latvian identity, bringing goodness, joy, and fertility.<\/p>\n
The motif of \u0136EKATAS coffee is warmly wrapped in motif of Anna Eltermane’s tapestry “\u0136ekatas in My Childhood Days” (1982, DMDM collection), where, shimmering like stars in the dark winter sky, in a night vision from house to house, in a dynamic rhythm, goat, rooster, sheep, bear, and stork disguised as \u0137ekatnieki, set out to bring blessings and drive away evil spirits.<\/p>\n
Anna Eltermane (1929\u20132009) grew up in Rucava, a region with ancient and strong traditions of folk craftsmanship, labor, and seasonal customs. The artist acquired weaving skills at the Liep\u0101ja School of Applied Arts. She continued her education at the Latvian Academy of Arts, where she explored the world of black and white graphics but later turned to theatrical painting and set design. After completing her studies, she returned to Liep\u0101ja and resumed weaving, drawing inspiration from nature and folklore motifs. In her tapestries, the splendor of meadow flowers, rural everyday life, and festive events come to life, including ancient solstice rituals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This is our most recent espresso blend, tailored to fit the preference of those coffee lovers, who prefer an intense cup with next-to-no acidity. By maintaining a stable roast curve and blending highly soluble coffees from Brazil and Colombia, we achieve a profile that is reminiscent of Toffee – sweet, buttery and intense. Besides that, we feel like this cup profile, which is loved by so many, can also be an ode to people who have helped shape events in the world, which is why this coffee will always represent something or someone of importance to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":72672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5242],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-72656","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-grocery","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/72656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=72656"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=72656"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riija.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=72656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
