Namaste coffee lovers. India is known for its spices and their distinctive taste in food. India coffee has a slightly sweet taste with moderate acidity and sometimes a spicy aroma.
Type of coffee: 100% arabica
Roasting: medium
Packaging: 50g / 220g / 1kg
India is the seventh largest coffee growing power in the world. Their coffee consists of homogeneous, large and ripe beans from the best plantations in the southern regions. The monsoon climate and particularly fertile soil predestined this country for the cultivation of high-quality Arabica. Indian coffee is one of the most common, offering an interesting smoothness and stimulating intensity. At the same time, India is the only country where all coffee is grown in the shade. The taste is usually mild, not too sour and has an exotic full flavor and delicate aroma.
Flavor profile
India Plantation AA consists of large, carefully selected and high quality beans. This arabica comes from the best Indian cultivations and can be described as subdued, with the right body and interesting taste. It is characterized by a full, complex and almost perfect flavor profile. It is nutty, sweet and delicate. The nutty aroma together with the mild sweetness create a harmonious combination. Its slightly spicy aftertaste can be a little surprising. It has an excellent body and leaves a long-lasting, slightly sweet aftertaste.
Cultivation, processing
The history and origin of coffee in India dates back to around 1600. The story goes that the Indian pilgrim Baba Budan went on a pilgrimage to Mecca during which he smuggled seven coffee beans from Yemen. The Arabs carefully protected their coffee, so it was not easy to get the seeds. After reaching home, he planted them in Chandragiri.
The way India grows coffee is unique - under a canopy of different varieties of trees that provide shade and nutritious soil. At the same time, there are pepper plants and bushes among the coffee plants, which have a significant influence on the ripening and final taste of the coffee. The Plantation designation refers to the highest grade of washed Arabica grown in India. It has the AA rating thanks to the highest quality and sufficiently large fruits. Coffee trees grow here at an altitude of 1,000-1,500 meters above sea level.
All coffee in India is harvested by hand without the use of machines. Unripe beans can remain on the plants and continue to ripen, requiring pickers to return to the plant four or five times during the two-month picking season. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are sorted, washed and popped. This process must be quick to avoid fermentation. The crushed cherries are then left to ferment naturally for approx. 12 to 18 hours. They are mechanically washed (the slime is removed) and soaked under water to improve the color. Then they are dried in the sun, on terraces lined with bricks. Although this process takes much longer than mechanical drying, growers believe that slower drying actually enhances the flavor of the coffee.
Coffee is mostly grown by farmers who are grouped into cooperatives. When drying, they most often use "wet-processed" - wet drying, it depends on the specific region. The coffee cherries are first swollen, the outer layer of the skin is removed and the bean with the mucilage is allowed to ferment in water for several days, then it is washed. After reaching the optimal humidity, it travels for export. Although this practice is relatively new in Mexican Chiapas coffee, it requires considerable skill and produces some of the highest quality coffees in the world.
How to prepare it
India Plantation AA is a great aromatic coffee suitable for various brewing methods. Its high caffeine content will stimulate your senses in all circumstances. We recommend it especially for pressure coffee machines (Moka kettles). Its excellent taste is perfectly extracted by a French Press and a coffee machine.

Chiapas Mexican Coffee is a premium Mexican coffee grown in the southern state of Chiapas and features a light, smooth flavor and rich, fresh acidity with a light to medium body. Chiapas benefits from the mixing of the climate of the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. In combination with the slopes of the Sierra Madre mountain range, which divides the state and reaches up to 1,600 meters above sea level near the border with Guatemala, countless microclimates are created where they grow significantly premium and high-quality fair trade coffee.
Flavor profile
Mexico SHG EP Chiapas coffee has a balanced body and is characterized by fruity and nutty notes. The acidity is clear but not too strong and the aroma is soft, fresh with a pleasant finish. At the same time, it has orange undertones related to the region of cultivation, with hints of caramel, cocoa and earthiness. The taste of walnuts resonates together with the other elements long after the drink is finished. During professional training, more experienced coffee drinkers can feel the taste of dry white wine. The caffeine content is lower, thanks to which one can enjoy it even in the later hours.
Cultivation, processing
Mexico as a whole is the eighth largest producer of coffee in the world, with the majority of production grown in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. Coffee first came to Mexico in the late 17th century when it was grown on farms owned by Europeans, mostly native Mexican workers. The volcanoes and hot tropical climate provide fertile soil that improves the supply of nutrients to the coffee plants and helps develop their resulting flavor. Quality Chiapas coffee is said to rival the finer Guatemalan coffees in complexity and strength.
In addition to the perfect taste, this type of coffee can also boast the title of Strictly High Grown and European Process. SHG refers to coffee grown at high altitudes, giving it a denser and more vibrant flavor profile than coffee grown at lower altitudes. Higher altitudes provide an environment suitable for Arabica coffee, the climate tends to be cooler with less direct sunlight and plenty of humidity. This causes the coffee fruit to ripen slowly, allowing more time to develop depth and sweetness, as well as many of the other desirable qualities we look for in great specialty coffees. The European Process refers to manual sorting that removes all insufficient grains.
Coffee is mostly grown by farmers who are grouped into cooperatives. When drying, they most often use "wet-processed" - wet drying, it depends on the specific region. The coffee cherries are first swollen, the outer layer of the skin is removed and the bean with the mucilage is allowed to ferment in water for several days, then it is washed. After reaching the optimal humidity, it travels for export. Although this practice is relatively new in Mexican Chiapas coffee, it requires considerable skill and produces some of the highest quality coffees in the world.
How to prepare it
You can achieve the best results of Mexico SHG EP Chiapas coffee with an espresso coffee machine. Immediate fine grinding ensures the gradual release of fruity tones. Maximum richness of taste and solid soluble cream will be a positive start to every new day. A spoonful of cream or sugar will help to soften it.

You can recognize notes of vanilla and nuts in a cup of Peru coffee. You will be attracted by the rich foam of this coffee at first glance. Who will show his tongue to lick her?
Type of coffee: 100% arabica
Roasting: medium
Packaging: 50g / 220g / 1kg
Peru is the ninth largest producer of coffee in the world, accounting for 2% of world coffee production. It is also one of the leading producers of organic and Fair Trade coffees. The exceptional altitude of the Andes and plenty of forest shade provide an ideal environment for growing Arabica coffee. Coffee acquires its flavor through standard processing and drying in the sun. Coffee grown by local farmers is characterized by a light body and low acidity. The aroma of real, artisanal coffee will delight you with its intensity.
Flavor profile
Coffee Peru arabica HB is an excellent choice for lovers of aromatic and refreshing drinks. The sweetness is beautifully combined with accents of nuts - almonds, vanilla and butter. The whole is complemented by caramel details, which, together with the complex aromas of fruit and bitter milk chocolate, delight with their taste. Thanks to the citrus notes, it is good to reach for it on hot days. It leaves a velvety mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish. It will give you strength in any work and stimulate the mind. The caffeine content is not too high, so it is possible to enjoy more cups.
Cultivation, processing
Coffee was first brought to Peru in the 18th century, exports began about a hundred years later. A big problem with growing high-quality coffee in Peru is infrastructure. This means that the farmer has to transport the harvested coffee for a long time before processing. That is why many small producers in the country are members of the cooperative.
Peru HB coffee is grown in shady places at high altitudes to produce a denser and more complex tasting bean thanks to the slow ripening process. In addition, growers have made great efforts to produce high-quality grains using only sustainable agricultural practices. The HB (hard bean) symbol indicates that the coffee has been grown at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters, making the beans harder and denser than beans of the same quality.
The wet coffee processing method requires transporting the harvested cherries to the mill and thus using water, which is difficult to obtain in some coffee growing areas. In the first stage, the Peru HB coffee cherries go into a centrifuge, which mechanically peels the kernels from the cherries. The cherry then lands in a cauldron where the fermentation process removes the remaining pulp. The next stage of treatment is rinsing to remove impurities from the grains. This is followed by drying the beans until they reach 11-14% moisture.. Coffee processed "wet" has a milder taste, but more intense acidity than coffee processed dry. There is also a strong culture of organic and Fair trade production in Peru. Fair trade certification can only apply to coffee produced by a cooperative. Farmers protect water resources for their communities and sequester carbon by managing a forest-like system.
How to prepare it
Coffee experts recommend 3 ways to best enjoy Peru arabica HB. The first method is using a dropper. It aerates every drop of coffee and fine-tunes its caramel tones. In addition to the classic drip machine, it is also possible to use a pour over. Even coffee shops do not have to worry that this type of coffee is not suitable for espresso machines. On the contrary. The high pressure that the machine develops ensures a flawless taste.

Guatemala produces some of the best and most distinctive coffees in the world. The country's unique coffee-producing regions have earned a positive and well-known reputation in the industry. Coffee is the main export item for Guatemala, which contributes to the growing economic status of the country, and it is also the ninth largest exporter of coffee in the world. Coffee beans grown in this country have typical taste notes suggesting a full body and a rich chocolate-cocoa flavor and caramel-like sweetness.
Flavor profile
One of the few areas where coffee is grown in Guatemala is the Coban region. It is located in the middle of the northern part of the country, which shows typical Guatemalan coffee characteristics. These include excellent body, usually full to medium, and light fruity acidity. Guatemala SHB Coban is a balanced coffee with a floral aroma, in which notes of nuts, fine chocolate and citrus play. Behind this excellent coffee are high agricultural standards, fertile volcanic soil and the harvesting process.
Cultivation, processing
Coffee was brought to Guatemala in the middle of the 17th century as an ornamental plant. However, coffee production did not really take off until the 1860s, when the country's natural dye industry was overtaken by synthetic products and a new focus was needed to save the economy. The climate in Guatemala is one of the most diverse in the world and therefore favorable for growing coffee trees. It has up to 7 main growing areas, each with its own set of unique growing conditions and microclimates. However, the Coban region is specific in that there is almost always a fine mist, it is constantly drizzling or pouring, and the sun rarely appears during the day, which also affects the cultivation and the very taste of coffee. Harvesting takes place from the end of December to the middle of March. Thanks to cultivation at an altitude of 1,300 to 1,500 meters above sea level, this coffee received the label SHB - strictly hard bean. Thus, the ripening time of the fruits is longer, which ensures a firmer core and a better flavor profile. Because of the extremely humid environment, farmers have to make the most of their efforts when processing coffee cherries. They can absorb more moisture, so they are more prone to leavening. They are picked in up to 10 passes within 14 days to pick only the ripest cherries. Due to these conditions and the difficult terrain, drying is usually mechanical to avoid spoilage of the crop.
How to prepare it
Guatemalan coffee has a bright acidity, natural sweetness and subtle flavors that are best brought out when brewed. French Press - due to constant contact with hot water, natural sweetness and unique flavors are evenly extracted. Pour over - if you are going to try this unusual tool, use finely ground coffee and a paper filter. In combination with Guatemalan coffee, it creates a rich, full cup, emphasizing delicate fruit and floral notes. In case of emergency, you can also use a classic coffee dripper. In the summer months or for iced coffee lovers, Cold Brew is offered - it emphasizes lighter acidity and sweetness, due to a longer brewing time. The last cup of coffee is full, strongly sweet and moderately acidic.

Set your fingers and tap on a place in Central America called Costa Rica. Don't forget to sip this coffee and know that you will feel like you were there. The pleasant citrus finish of the coffee taste will convince you of this.

Small in area, rich in diversity. This is also how we could describe Costa Rica. The reputation of one of the best coffee growers in the world goes far beyond its borders. Despite the fact that only about 1.1% of the world's coffee production is grown here, Costa Rica can boast up to eight growing areas, the most famous of which is Tarrazu. This coffee goldmine is known for its quality beans and breathtaking views. At the same time, this area is full of vegetation and home to a large number of tropical birds.
Flavor profile
Tarrazu coffees are known for their elegant and strikingly clean taste. The scent is floral and sweet like honey. The cream is soft and dense with medium to low acidity. The glass ends with a pleasantly surprising spiciness. Costa Rica SHB Tarrazu offers a strong cup of coffee with amazing compilations. Let us know if you can smell the dark chocolate and taste the subtle notes of grapefruit.
Cultivation, processing
The year in Tarraz is divided into two well-defined seasons, the rainy and the dry. The rainy season lasts seven months (May to November), during which the coffee trees grow; the dry season is from December to April. Harvest time is a five-month period from November to March, which coincides nicely with the dry season. This defined climate pattern is ideal for growing coffee and results in high-quality coffee cherries that are uniformly ripe. Tarrazu is an ideal place for growing Arabica coffee beans. This region is known for the production of coffee, which has significantly acidic properties, mainly due to the volcanic composition of the soil that characterizes the country. Most of the plantations are located at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,900 meters above sea level and are shaded by a mixture of foreign and native trees. In Costa Rica, the quality of coffee is determined by the hardness of the bean, a factor that is determined by the altitude at which the beans are grown. The highest quality coffee is labeled Strictly Hard Bean or SHB and is reserved for coffee grown above 1,900 meters. It is estimated that almost 95% of the fruits grown in the Tarrazu region belong to the SHB category. The drying process used by individual farmers varies. Some prefer natural drying in the sun, thanks to which the fruit acquires fruity tones. Others do not allow "washed" - i.e. wet drying.
How to prepare it
The Tarrazu coffee cherry gives very positive results in the filter brewing method. There are many devices to choose from such as aeropress, moka pot, which filter finely ground coffee and add a sweet taste to every drop. If you have an automatic espresso machine at home, you will get caramel tones, but also higher acidity thanks to the higher pressure.
