Santos (only in our 2x250g and 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.”

We’re heading over to one of our Danish favourites, CleverCoffee. South of Aarhus, CleverCoffee (a certified B-Corp) roast their coffee with a focus on high quality, transparency, and the environment. Let’s hear what they say about this month’s coffee.

MISIONES CASTILLO

Included in all boxes

Origin: Colombia
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1700 masl
Varieties: Castillo
Tasting notes: Fruity and complex with notes of dried cranberries, gooseberries, Amarena cherries and creamy toffee

From CleverCoffee: We are pleased to present a "CleverCoffee classic" of sorts, the excellent washed Castillo from Hacienda Misiones in Colombia. This coffee was the first coffee we bought directly from a producer. This year's harvest has a slightly different flavour profile than previous years, but if possible, it is now even more delicious! When cupping this coffee, it presented itself with intense sweetness and complexity, and it is one of those coffees that changes significantly from the first sip to the last.

TOP MUTITU

Included in our Tasting box and 2x250g box

Origin: Kenya
Process: Double washed
Altitude: 1420 masl
Washing station: Mutitu Coffee Factory
Varieties: SL28, SL34, Batian, Ruiru 11
Tasting notes: Mango, blackcurrants and a hint of lime

From CleverCoffee: This coffee is called Top Mutitu simply because it is the best coffee from the washing station Mutitu Coffee Factory. Mutitu was created out of a need for local cooperation, where the small coffee farmers in the nearby area stand together to ensure proper payments, without the risk of being short-changed by middlemen. Mutitu Coffee Factory is located in the Kirinyaga area at the southern foot of Mount Kenya. The washing station was built in 1963 and is thus one of the oldest in the area.

LA HIGUERA

Only in our Tasting box

Origin: Peru
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1800 - 2200 masl
Varieties: Farmer’s mix
Tasting notes: Sweet and velvety with notes of yellow plum, cranberries, honey and milk chocolate

From CleverCoffee: This coffee comes from 10-15 producers around the village La Higuera in the district called Colasay. The area is interesting for its flavour profiles and potential. We believe La Higuera is a great example of what an organic coffee from Peru can be and we are excited to share it with you! La Higuera is a deliciously sweet coffee with a velvety smooth texture. It is clean and has a soft milk chocolate flavor, but with fruit notes of cranberries and yellow plums it also manages to stand out.
