The Weeknd x Nespresso: New ‘Samra Origins’ Coffee Celebrates His Scarborough Roots
R&B icon The Weeknd is taking his love for coffee to the next level. In a new collaboration with Nespresso, the Scarborough-born artist has launched a limited-edition collection that celebrates his heritage—and his mother.
The collection, called Samra Origins, is named after his mother, Samra, and is now available online and in Nespresso boutiques across Canada.
A Personal Blend with a Cultural Touch
For The Weeknd, coffee isn’t just a beverage. “Coffee runs deep in my family culture — it’s about gathering, sharing, reflecting,” he said in a press release. The Samra Origins collection is designed to reflect those values and his East African roots.
The flagship release in the line is the Togetherness Blend, a double espresso made from 100% African Arabicas. The flavor profile brings together honeyed sweetness and woody notes, offering a smooth yet rich experience.
- Type: Double Espresso
- Blend: 100% African Arabica
- Tasting Notes: Sweet honey, woody finish
- Price: $14.50 CAD for a sleeve (10 capsules)
- Where to Buy: Nespresso.ca and Nespresso boutiques across Canada
