Coffee house met sauna house this past weekend. ☕
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Saunawelt on Saturday for our coffee-inspired Aufguss collaboration with Java Owl. We loved welcoming so many first-time guests into the sauna and sharing an experience that sits at the heart of European sauna culture.
For this special session, each round was inspired by a favourite Java Owl drink:
☕ Campfire Latte
Deep, roasted, comforting & sweet —
Coffee • Cedarwood Atlas • Sweet Orange
🌿 Lemon Turmeric Chai (A Amanda Vermillion Favorite!)
Spicy, earthy, hot, and revitalizing —
Lemon • Tumeric • Clove
❄️ Wow Mint Green, Iced
Icy, explosive, purifying, and intense finale —
Peppermint • Eucalyptus • Bergamot
But what exactly is an Aufguss?
Water and essential oils are poured over the hot stones, sending fragrant steam throughout the sauna. The Aufgussmeister then uses specialised towel techniques to circulate the heat and aroma, creating waves of warmth, changing humidity, and a sauna experience that engages all the senses.
No two rounds feel quite the same. The scents change. The atmosphere changes. The intensity changes.
Thank you again to the wonderful team at Java Owl and everyone who joined us. We hope you’ll join us again for another Aufguss soon. ☕🔥
