Origin and Plantation
Where the coffee has its wild origin – the region of Kafa, which gave its name to this coffee, lies in the southwestern region of Ethiopia. This is where the coffee grows at altitudes of 1,400 to 2,100 m above sea level, largely wild, in the deep forests of the province and almost without human interception. This forest coffee is mainly processed naturally, which means that the coffee cherry is cleaned and then dried in the sun.

Character and Taste
Ethiopian coffee has a spicy, strong flavour, rounded off by a medium acidity and a rich, chocolatey body. As opposed to its brother from Sidamo, this coffee has a light acidity, a well-balanced flavour and a pleasant fruitiness.

Plantation Info
For some time now, it has been possible for the farmers to make a living by cultivating coffee. This is thanks to a clever businessman from Freiburg, Germany, and his fellows. For years, they have been trying to bring a balance to the forests of Kafa in order to prevent their overexploitation. They have succeeded in establishing a business that made it possible for 6600 Ethiopian farmers and their usually very large families to escape the struggle for survival. The farmers of this region pick the "Forest Coffee" (also called "wild coffee") by hand.

Particularities
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. In some regions, coffee is only available washed, in other regions, it is only offered unwashed. There are, however, also areas where both types are offered. The differing processing methods reflect the diversity of taste. A special focus should be put on the quality of the coffees, which may vary significantly from one sample to the next.

Origin and Plantation
The famous coffee-growing region Sul de Minas is located in the heart of the state Minas Gerais with its long mountain ranges, many small lakes and mineral-bearing soil. It was here, where the first plantations were founded more than 100 years ago.

Character and Taste
This exceptional Brazilian coffee speciality excels due to its naturally mild and harmonious aroma. Its mild sweetness, as well as the long-lasting, chocolate-like aftertaste, will bring every coffee lover to gush about this speciality. The long-standing experience with sun-dried coffee can be experienced anew with each cup!

Plantation Info
The "Fazenda Lagoa" is where one of the most famous plantation coffees of the world is grown, with due consideration for the local ecosystem, on 400 hectares of land, at an altitude of 950 to 1,200 m. The plantation is surrounded by 660 hectares of protected rainforest which wolves, big cats and hundreds of different bird species call their home. The annual harvest of this plantation is between 8,000 and 12,000 sacks of 60 kg. Due to its geographical position and the high quality expectations, this coffee is picked exclusively by hand. The beans, which have been picked in the morning, are transported to the treatment facilities in the afternoon. There, they are processed in five steps. First, any remaining twigs or leaves are removed before ripe, overripe and still green beans are separated from each other in a water tank. Later, a part of the pulp is removed and the beans, together with the remaining glassine coat, are dried in the sun.

Particularities
Brazil is, without doubt, the largest producer of Arabica coffees in the world and is also among the largest Robusta producers. Its coffees are often offered in blends or as cheap Arabica varieties. We, however, consider Brazil from another point of view. We present the finest plantation coffees, which offer a large array of unique flavour characteristics thanks to their specific origins and differing production methods.

Origin and Plantation
This coffee comes from the mountainous region of Mantiqueira, located in the southern state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Mantiqueira means “the region where the clouds are lying”. This location and the inherent climatic conditions are ideal for cultivating coffee. With an average temperature of 18 °C and an average annual rainfall of 1,850 mm per year this region is famous for its mineral springs. Right in the centre of this region the farm Santa Lucia can be found which produces highest quality coffees and was awarded with the national Cup of Excellence in 2009.

Character and Taste
An exceptional Brazilian coffee with an aromatic and delicate taste with slight hints of fruit acidity and chocolate. Perfectly roasted – a true delight!

We, however, consider Brazil from another point of view.

Origin and Plantation
This specialty coffee from Brazil is made exclusively from fully ripe coffee cherries, carefully hand-sorted and processed using the natural method. The coffee beans of this variety ripen later in the season, because they are located on the side of the plant that only receives the morning sun. After the harvest, the coffee is sorted by hand, which has a unique impact on its quality on one hand, and also secures many jobs. After the drying, the beans are stored for at least three months and are then peeled just before shipping.

Character and Taste
The flavour clearly represents the absolute ripeness of the hand-picked coffee cherries. The well-balanced flavour yields a smooth body to the cup, which is wonderfully rounded off by aromas of caramel, chocolate and nuts. This encompassing experience forms part of every cup and underlines the unique quality of this excellent coffee.

Origin and Plantation
Our “São Bento” comes from the southeast Brazilian state Minas Gerais, from a plantation close to the City of Carmo de Paranaíba. The flavour-intensive Arabica varietal Yellow Catuai is cultivated there at altitudes of 1,100 m above sea level. After a first, rough sorting, the cherries are selected according to ripeness in a water tank, before part of the fruit pulp is removed and the beans are put out in the sun with the remaining fruit pulp to dry. During this drying process, which takes about two days, the coffee beans collect the sweetness from the fruit pulp and, hence, receive their incomparable flavour.

Character and Taste
This coffee has a very expressive character. Its well-balanced aroma reminds of chocolate and caramel, which even intensifies as the coffee cools down. Its sweet and nutty smoothness as well as the long-lasting aftertaste will enthuse any coffee lover. Thanks to this unique flavour, international coffee experts judged this coffee on Cup of Excellence level.
