The Story Behind the Name
Petrov Affair draws its name from the intriguing life of Vladamir Petrov (1907-1991), a Soviet intelligence agent stationed in Canberra during the Cold War. His covert mission to gather political intelligence took an unexpected turn when he ultimately defected to Australia in 1954. Like the man himself, this coffee has layers of depth, intrigue and unmistakable presence that linger long after the last sip.
