Wildan Mustofa
Santos (only in our 2x250g and Tasting box)
Paulo Afonso (only in our Tasting box)
WILDAN MUSTOFA
Origin: Indonesia
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1300-1500 m.a.s.l
Varieties: Borbor, Lini S, Ateng super, Timor, Sigarar Utang, P88
Tasting notes: Papaya, Lemonade and Milk chocolate
”It is rare that we get the opportunity to taste a coffee so complex – especially from Indonesia. We were amazed at how many different flavours and aromas we experienced on the cupping table while the coffee cooled. From sweet tropical fruits like papaya and nectarines to berries like raspberries and blackcurrants, this coffee even has a light lemonade-like flavour. And with a balanced herbal and sweet-spicy undertone, this coffee is uniquely delicious. With this coffee, we want to highlight a super clean and delicious coffee from West Java – and challenge all expectations of what Indonesian coffee tastes like.”
SANTOS
Origin: Honduras
Process: Natural
Altitude: 1589 masl
Varieties: Parainema
Tasting notes: Orange, Vanilla and Milk chocolate
”This coffee has a delicious taste of orange, vanilla and milk chocolate. The coffee is sweet and creamy, and might remind you of the taste of Tic-Tacs with orange. The coffee is a natural processed Parainema. Although Parainema is not technically 100% Arabica, it is an interesting choice for coffee lovers. It originates from Timor Hybrid, a natural cross between Arabica and Robusta. Despite its Robusta heritage, Parainema is generally considered an Arabica variety, as it is genetically closer to Arabica and has a similar flavor profile. But most importantly - it doesn't taste like a Robusta coffee at all.”
PAULO AFONSO
Origin: Brazil
Process: Aerobic fermentation
Altitude: 1100 masl
Producer: Fazenda Santa Clara
Varieties: Yellow Catuaí
Tasting notes: Banana, Marshmallow and Coffee blossom
”Paulo Afonso de Resende runs the Santa Clara farm with his family. He actually worked as a mechanical engineer for many years, but turned to the coffee farm to continue in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was also a coffee farmer. Paulo's engineering background shows in how he runs his farm. The farm is practically self-sufficient and his previous engineering work has given him a great understanding of the importance of water and how we really need to be frugal with such an important resource.”
