We’re incredibly honored to share that our #1 selling Ghost Bear Espresso, crafted with our award-winning Philippine specialty coffee, is now featured in a dessert course on the tasting menu at Lucien, recently awarded its first Michelin Star.
Congratulations to Chef Elijah Arizmendi and the entire Lucien team on this incredible achievement. Nestled in the heart of La Jolla, Lucien has created a dining experience that reflects the very best of San Diego’s culinary excellence, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate this well-deserved recognition with our friends.
The dessert features Mostra Ghost Bear espresso ice cream alongside San José dark chocolate mousse, soy miso caramel, and koji shoyu chocolate sauce, a beautiful example of how specialty coffee can elevate the culinary experience beyond the cup.
When we founded Mostra, we believed Philippine coffee deserved a seat at the world’s finest tables. Seeing our coffee become part of a Michelin-starred tasting menu is both humbling and inspiring.
Thank you, LUCIEN for trusting us with this collaboration. Congratulations again on this remarkable milestone!
