Trappistinspired
Trappistinspired is a coined descriptor used in branding and consumer discourse to denote products, designs, or practices that draw on the traditions of the Trappist monastic order (Cistercians of the Strict Observance). The term is not a formal designation and its meaning varies by producer. In practice, it is most often encountered in crafting, food, and beverage contexts that aim to evoke qualities associated with Trappist life—simplicity, craftsmanship, restraint, and contemplative ethos—without implying official affiliation with a monastery.
