About Coffee

We have to approach price negotiations differently in each country because they have different rules and systems. But we have a simple rule that we always remember those who are at the very end of the chain. This means that we are not only concerned about a fair price for the farmers, but also about a fair reward for the pickers.

We always offer 4 to 6 selections of coffee blends and 10 to 16 single coffees. Throughout the year, depending on the season and the current harvest, we always offer the coffees that are the freshest at that moment.

We offer coffees that are BIO certified. Many of our coffees, although grown in the wild, do not have BIO certification because it is cost prohibitive for farmers in some countries to obtain the certification.

Three things are bad for coffee - heat, light and air. Therefore, store coffee in a dry and dark place, preferably in an opaque container that will protect it from sunlight.

Beans intended for filter coffee are best consumed between the 3rd and 21st day after roasting. Coffee for espresso is best between the 14th and 38th day after roasting. Once opened, store away from heat, light and air. To preserve the highest freshness, we recommend consuming the coffee within seven days of opening.

For filter coffee, use 60-70 g of coffee per litre of freshly filtered water.

For espresso, we recommend a ratio of 1:2.5 coffee to water, for example 18 g of coffee to 45 g of water.

For single espresso, use 9 g of coffee and for double espresso, use 18 g of coffee.

None of our coffee contains added ingredients or flavours. The flavor profile describes the aromas, flavors, sweetness and acidity in the coffee that is naturally present. Coffee has different flavours due to different coffee types, soil composition or altitude. The way in which the coffee is processed after harvesting also has a significant impact on the resulting taste.

Everyone enjoys coffee in their own way. Some like it with sugar, others with milk or just black.

Our job is to find the most suitable coffee for you and your way of drinking. So we'd love to help you find the one you like best, based on coffee flavour profiles. Try to find yours! právě tady.

When buying coffee direct trade, we select beans directly from the farmers, not through suppliers. This allows us to buy a higher quality product and limited edition coffees that would otherwise not make it to the European market at all. Enjoy a cup of the best coffee that has come from our roastery thanks to direct sales.
