The History of Maison ÔTEKA: Sébastien BALDI and Matthieu RIGAUD, Pioneers of Convection Roasting
In the vibrant heart of the city, where the streets buzz with stories and chance encounters, the adventure of Maison ÔTEKA takes root. It is the story of two enthusiasts, Sébastien BALDI and Matthieu RIGAUD, whose paths crossed in an unexpected way, marking the beginning of a revolutionary collaboration in the world of tea and coffee.
The encounter
Sébastien, with his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for authentic flavors, explored the depths of craftsmanship, seeking to redefine the coffee experience. Matthieu, for his part, an engineer by training, was fascinated by the infinite possibilities that new technologies offer to transcend traditions.
Their meeting, similar to the collision of two comets, took place during a conference dedicated to innovation in the agri-food industry. A heated debate over the future of roasting sealed their fate. They quickly discovered a common vision: to revolutionize the art of roasting by combining tradition and innovation.
The Birth of the ÔTEKA House
From their collaboration, Maison ÔTEKA was born, a name that evokes both openness and respect for roots. Eager to create a unique signature in the world of tea and coffee, they focused on an artisanal approach, while integrating cutting-edge technology: convection roasting.
Innovation: Convection Roasting
Unlike traditional induction roasting methods, which are often limited by heat uniformity, Sébastien and Matthieu have adopted convection roasting. This advanced technology allows for more even and controlled heat distribution, opening the door to unparalleled precision in the extraction of flavors and aromas.
Convection roasting has allowed Maison ÔTEKA to stand out for the superior quality of its products. Each coffee bean and each tea leaf reveals aromatic profiles of exceptional richness and complexity, faithful to their origin and magnified by this revolutionary technique.
A Commitment to Excellence and Sustainability
Beyond technical innovation, Sébastien and Matthieu are committed to an ethical and sustainable approach. By choosing local producers and favoring environmentally friendly practices, Maison ÔTEKA embodies the values of responsibility and quality.
The history of Maison ÔTEKA, led by Sébastien BALDI and Matthieu RIGAUD, is a testimony to passion, innovation and commitment. By reinventing the art of roasting through convection technology, they have created not only exceptional products but also a unique experience for tea and coffee lovers. Maison ÔTEKA is now a reference in the world of artisanal drinks, where each cup tells the story of an encounter, a vision, and a dream come true.
