The High Note

SABI Sounds × ONA Coffee × Hany Ezzat

Have you ever wondered if music can change the way your coffee tastes?

The High Note is an intimate multisensory experience exploring the relationship between coffee, sound, light and flavour.

Hosted by Michael Tan, Co-Founder of Sabi Sounds, alongside award-winning coffee professional Hany Ezzat, this isn't a traditional coffee tasting or technical cupping. Instead, you'll move through a carefully considered coffee journey where the same sensory experience is transformed by changes in music, frequency, colour, lighting, glassware and listening conditions.

Taste the coffee. Change the room. Taste it again.

Across four coffee courses, discover how different sounds and surroundings can bring out different qualities in the cup — from sweetness and acidity to texture, aroma and flavour.

Think coffee omakase × listening session × sensory experiment.

Curious, playful and designed to be experienced rather than explained.

☕ Competition-level coffees selected by Hany Ezzat

🎧 Music and sound used as an active part of the tasting experience
