This coffee is roasted by our partners in Lithuania, in one of the finest local roasteries.
These coffee beans are suited well for all brewing methods, be it espresso, filter, or infusing straight in a cup.
When using the washed process, beans are first separated from the cherries, then fermented and dried. Coffee processed in this manner acquires a particularly “clean” taste, which makes the dominant notes easier to identify. It’s often fruitier too.
These are arabica beans of the Bourbon subspecies. They originate from the region of Lake Kivu located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
While African coffees are usually particularly fruity/acidic, this variety is a bit different: instead of fruit or berries, it’s marked by notes of marzipan, dark chocolate and dried dates.
