We roast our coffee beans ourselves, fresh every week. We carefully select the green coffee. This means that before we decide on a coffee, we test and taste it extensively. Our import partners provide us with samples for this purpose.

To ensure consistently high quality, we check all fresh roasts in weekly cuppings. This ensures that your coffee beans always taste the way they should.

Processing method

Natural Processing

In regions with little rain and water scarcity the “natural” preparation method works best. When using the natural processing the coffee cherries are dried directly after sorting—including the pulp. To do this, the workers spread them flat on large terraces or special coffee beds. They turn the cherries regularly and measure their moisture. This ensures that they dry evenly and do not rot. After the drying process, the pulp and parchment membranes are removed in a so-called dry mill using friction.

The bright red or yellow color gradually gives way to a strong brown and then changes to a color that is reminiscent of raisins.Taste wise natural processing promotes sweetness and fruity notes. A pronounced full-bodiedness is also characteristic. In contrast to other methods, the acidity tends to fade into the background with natural processing.

Coffee plant

Ethiopian Landraces

A plant variety that has adapted very well to its environmental conditions over many years is called a landrace. In the coffee context, most landraces are found in the forests of Ethiopia, the country of origin of the coffee plant. The Arabica varieties from the country are generally characterized by a very high taste quality and lower yields. At the same time, they are more tolerant to diseases than many other Arabica varieties such as the widespread Bourbon and Typica varieties. The term Heirloom is also often used to describe these strains.

Variety Lexicon

country of cultivation

Coffee from Colombia

After Brazil and Vietnam, Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in the world and tops the list of producers of the Arabica variety. The coffee plant was brought to Colombia around 1790 and has been cultivated in the South American country ever since, particularly along the Andes. That's where the Coffee axis is, which is also called the coffee triangle, in which coffee is grown at 1200 to 2000 meters altitude. The coffee triangle has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2011.

We source our green coffee from Nikolai Fürst, who lives in Colombia and works with several farmers. In 2023, Philip Weller visited several farms together with Nikolai and also got to know Omar Arango Tinoco, who has been growing coffee on Finca San Luis since the 70s.
