THE MAIN COFFEES THAT MAKE UP THE BLEND

Brasil Fazenda Recanto

Fazenda Recanto is located in Machado, south of Minas Gerais, a region that is blessed with a mild climate, with average temperatures of around 22°C. The plantation is managed by the Magalhães Paiva family, which over the years has won numerous awards for the quality of the coffees it grows, such as recently winning the Rainforest Alliance competition. We love the Fazenda coffees because they bring unmistakable notes of dried fruit and hazelnut into the blend.

Santo Domingo Finca Ramirez

Founded in 1943 by Belarminio Ramírez, the plantation is located in the attractive region of La Vega and is currently managed by Julio Ramirez and his family; thanks to its environmental conservation policy and sustainable farming practices, the plantation is committed to a more respectful and responsible future. We are delighted with this coffee, which gives the blend nuances of dried fruits such as almond and hazelnut, enhancing the elegance of milk chocolate in the finish.

Indonesia Flores Bajawa

Coffee is grown in small family-run plantations, on the fertile and shaded volcanic slopes of the Bajawa plateau, on the Indonesian island of Flores, Ngada district, between 1200 and 1800 meters a.s.l. Producers are brought together in the Bajawa cooperative to improve their working conditions, study the best agricultural techniques and promote the environmental sustainability of production. We are really happy with this sweet and full-bodied coffee which, thanks to the exclusive "wet-hulled" processing method, brings gustatory elegance and a floral bouquet to the blend with hints of aromatic herbs, dark chocolate, caramel and vanilla.

Guatemala Nemaya San Marcos

Finca Ona coffee plantation is located in Guatemala, in the fertile volcanic soils of the San Marcos region, near the town of El Quetzal, at an altitude of between 875 and 1200 metres above sea level. Founded in 1890 by the Hawley family, the company is currently managed by Mr Lippmann, who has upgraded the facilities by introducing new coffee varieties and committing himself to producing coffee in a responsible and sustainable way, respecting the environment and continuing on the path of quality. We are delighted to use this Robusta coffee, which makes our blend more intense, balanced and full-bodied with a delicious caramel aftertaste in the cup.

Tanzania Kagera

This intense coffee is grown in the Kagera region of Tanzania, by many small and medium-sized producers who deliver it to the Karagwe washing station, the region's leading Robusta coffee processor. Founded in 1999 and certified by the Tanzania Coffee Board, the station, which takes care of the entire green coffee processing chain in the area, aims to improve coffee production by supporting farmers with constant training and offering them remuneration that guarantees a decent standard of living. We are happy to use this enveloping coffee because it gives the blend body, character and a special aftertaste of ripe cherries and spices.
