TOULOUSE Blend Organic Espresso

Our currently strongest coffee blend, Toulouse, consists of three sustainable organic coffees and impresses with a full-bodied taste and notes of chocolate and brittle.

That's inside: a Robusta from India, a dry processed Arabica from the Sul de Minas region in Brazil and a washed Arabica from Guatemala. The latter is produced exclusively by women who organize themselves in the International Women's Coffee Alliance (IWCA).

The Ekata community in India produces, among other things, the Robusta that makes up 40% of our Toulouse blend. We source the organic green coffee beans from Indie Roasters in Bielefeld, who have been buying directly from India for many years. During their regular visits to the South Asian country, they get a first-hand impression of the work on the certified organic farms. This Robusta grows at an altitude of around 900 meters and provides the strong body and great crema of our coffee blend. We pre-finance the green coffee together with other roasting companies.

The Brazilian Santa Clara makes up another 40% of our blend. It comes from the coffee-growing region of Sul de Minas and comes to us via Ocafi. Paulo Teixeira Giordani is the third generation to run the farm. Unlike his forefathers, he has only relied on organically grown coffee since he took over in 1999. He was and is a sought-after pioneer and expert in the region. The lot that we bought for our Toulouse is of the Mundo Novo variety and prepared as pulped natural. It has a medium body and aromas of roasted nuts.

The last 20% of our Toulouse coffee blend is Huehuetenango from Guatemala . The Asociación de Productores de Café Diferenciados y Especiales de Guatemala produces it. The association of currently 664 small producers from various coffee growing regions in Guatemala sees itself as a knowledge broker. The organization passes on knowledge about coffee cultivation and is involved in social projects related to nutrition, education and technical services, such as professional analysis of growing soils. The washed coffee is grown exclusively by farmers and brings a slightly fruity note to our blend. The sweetness, which is reminiscent of caramel, ensures a lasting and balanced aftertaste.

Note: Our info cards state that the Robusta comes from the Vasundra cooperative in India. The information here is more up-to-date. Unfortunately, we had to change our plans at short notice and the info cards had already been printed. For sustainability reasons, we don't want to throw them away.
