Samurai Shoelace - Curiosity Series Double Rainbow - 10 Capsules

Specialty coffee in capsules, sourced from Ethiopia and roasted by the Hungarian roastery Samurai Shoelace. The package contains 10 capsules compatible with Nespresso® machines.

Have you always wondered what "natural" and "washed" processing means? Try it! We've made this Ethiopian box, in which we put 5-5 pieces of both types of coffee so you can feel the difference! 

Can you recognize it? Can you find it? (The brown capsule is the natural, the pink one is the washed!)

In the Double Rainbow box you will find two types of different processed Ethiopian coffee capsules: the brown one is natural-processed Sidamo, and the pink one is washed Andaracha. We want you to taste how different flavours the processing method gives you, so you can taste what you have always heard in a cafe as "washed" or "natural".

What does processing mean? After harvesting, the coffee cherry is a fruit that looks like a cross between a hibiscus fruit and a cherry. The flesh of the fruit has to be removed, then the seeds are dried (the seeds are the green coffee, i.e. we actually make our favorite morning drink from the seeds of the coffee cherry), and these seeds (the green coffee beans) reach us.

When tasted side by side, the difference between the two coffees is perfectly felt: an experience that is rarely experienced so clearly.

Of course, both coffees are light roasted Ethiopian, with the typical taste and aroma of such coffees. We think this box is a worthy member of the "Curiosity" product line, as there hasn't been much opportunity to show (beyond telling) the differences in processing.
