Hoppenworth & Ploch treats us with one of our most diverse boxes yet. We’re especially excited about having our first Vietnamese coffee in the box.
Asprocdegua from Hoppenworth & Ploch
All three coffees from Hoppenworth & Ploch in our Tasting box
ZANYA
Sent to all of our subscribers
Origin: Vietnam
Process: Double Washed
Varieties: Catimor, Caturra, Bourbon, Tipica
Tasting notes: apple, currant
”With Zanya, we take a look behind the bare figures of Vietnam as a coffee country and discover what exciting flavour profiles Vietnamese coffee farmers have to offer. The Zanya has little in common with the harsh and strong flavour profile you know from Vietnamese Robustas. Instead, the coffee scores with a wonderful sweetness and a clear acidity that give the coffee a great balance. Zanya was produced by Marian Takac and his wife Jan Lim in Langbiang near Dalat in Vietnam. Unlike the rest of the country, the region around Dalat grows a relatively large amount of Arabica coffee.”
ASPROCDEGUA
Sent to our 2x250 and Tasting box subscribers
Origin: Guatemala
Process: Washed
Varieties: Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Maragogype, Pache
Tasting notes: Cocoa, Orange
”Our Christmas coffee this year comes from Guatemala, and with its flavor profile of chocolate, cocoa, orange and clementines, it's an exceptional fit for the Advent season. The coffee was produced under the umbrella of the cooperative ASPROCDEGUA (Asociación de Productores de Café Diferenciados y Especiales de Guatemala), a female-led cooperative dedicated to representing and supporting women in coffee farming in the Guatemalan provinces of Huehuetanango and San Marcos. The coffee was grown at altitudes ranging from 1600-2200m.”
WORKA
Only for our Tasting box subscribers
Origin: Ethiopia
Process: Natural
Varieties: Local Heirloom
Tasting notes: lemon tea, cardamon
”Worka is a classic example of an Ethiopian natural, fulfilling what we want it to be with its fruity, berry profile. In the filter coffee, citrus freshness and tea-like notes come together to create a taste of lemon tea, with subtle hints of cardamom mixed in. The Worka Washing Station is located on the southeastern foothills of the Ethiopian highlands at an altitude of 2000 meters. Here, the coffees of hundreds of neighboring micro-farmers are processed, most of whom grow their coffee on the slopes of Mount Rudu at 2000-2200 meters above sea level.”
