Obscene Caffeine - Harry Paye Coffee

’Obscene Caffeine’ Everyday coffee with a little kick - Harry Paye

Our coffee is named after some of the ‘Obscene’ pirates and their antics of History.

After many dealings with the French over the years In 1405 and with Harry away, the French and the Spanish attacked his hometown Poole, killing hundreds of men including Harry’s brother. When Harry sailed home to find the destruction the French and Spanish had inflicted. He swore a little revenge - some Payeback - of his own. 

Certain that their bloody invasion would deter Harry from attacking their ships ever again, the French sailed a ship laiden with the finest wine along the English Channel. Their prediction was wrong. He was heartbroken at the loss of his brother, but Harry's sense of adventure was undimmed. Harry launched his ship, sailed it out to cut off the French ship, and swung aboard with his crew. Together, they captured the crew, raided their stores, and loaded 12,000 gallons of the finest wine any man had ever seen onto their ship. They left the empty French ship floating along the coast, and sailed their own vessel back home to Poole. 

When they reached familiar Dorset soil, Harry made a declaration to the people of his hometown. As a small compensation for the tragedy they had suffered, the whole of Poole was invited to drink the wine, stolen from the invaders who had slain so many of Poole's men while Harry was adventuring on the open seas.   

And drink it, they did. The whole town was drunk for a month straight, so it's said, and Harry's name became legend!
