Hawas · حواس

Discover coffee, one card at a time

Our Mission

Hawas is your passport to the world of specialty coffee. We believe that exploring coffee should be as exciting as the drink itself—fun, rewarding, and deeply personal.

The name "Hawas" (حواس) comes from Arabic, meaning "senses" or "passion." It perfectly captures what we're about: engaging all your senses in the discovery of exceptional coffee while fueling your passion for exploration.

Our app transforms the way you interact with coffee. Instead of just drinking it, you collect it. Instead of forgetting what you tried, you build a visual library of your coffee journey. Every scan unlocks a new card, every card tells a story.

Our Story

Hawas was born from a simple frustration: standing in a coffee shop, staring at bags of beans, and having no idea what to try next. Which roaster was good? What did "natural process" mean? Was Ethiopian coffee really that different from Colombian?

We realized that specialty coffee had a discovery problem. There was too much information scattered across too many places, and no fun way to track what you'd already tried or what you loved.

So we built Hawas—a gamified coffee encyclopedia that makes learning about coffee as addictive as drinking it. Part collection game, part coffee journal, part discovery engine.

What We Believe

🎯

Discovery Should Be Fun

Learning about coffee shouldn't feel like homework. We use gamification to make exploration genuinely enjoyable.

🌍

Coffee Tells Stories

Every bean has a journey—from farm to cup. We help you understand and appreciate that journey.

👥

Community Matters

Coffee brings people together. We're building features to help you discover what friends love and share your finds.

Simplicity is Key

We obsess over making complex things simple. Point, scan, collect. That's it.

How Hawas Works

Scan & Discover: Point your camera at any coffee bag. Our AI uses OCR and vision technology to identify the product instantly—no manual entry needed.

Unlock Cards: When you scan a new coffee, you unlock its digital trading card. Cards come in three rarity levels: Common, Rare, and the coveted Golden cards.

Build Your Collection: View all your discovered coffees in a beautiful card grid. Filter by origin, roaster, flavor notes, or rarity. Add personal notes and memories to each card.

Complete Journeys: Embark on guided coffee adventures like "Ethiopian Explorer" or "Processing Master." Complete milestones to earn special rewards.

Earn Achievements: From your first scan to finding your 50th rare card, there's always something new to unlock.

Made with Passion

Hawas is crafted by a small team of coffee lovers and tech enthusiasts based in the Middle East. We're obsessed with both exceptional coffee and exceptional user experiences.
