You can expect hints of tomato, lemon and blackberry.Origin: KenyaRegion: Nyeri, KaratinaFarma: Muthuaini Washing StationProcessing: Fully WashedVariety: SL28, SL34Altitude: 1700-1800 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE FARMThe Mutheka Farmers’ Co-operative Society is an example of what is most important in Kenyan agriculture — the strength of the community, local experience, and grassroots work. Operating in the Nyeri region, in the heart of the Kenyan coffee sector, the cooperative brings farmers together, creating a space for collaboration and the joint improvement of production quality.The organization is based on a cooperative model, supporting its members in production, logistics, and sales, which allows them to reach the market more effectively and increase the value of their coffee. Thanks to this, smallholders benefit from the knowledge, infrastructure, and experience of the entire community.Although the cooperative is not widely known in the media, it constitutes an important element of Kenyan agriculture — stable and based on local commitment. The Mutheka Farmers’ Co-operative Society is, above all, about the people: their work, tradition, and the pursuit of quality that shape contemporary agriculture in Kenya.ROASTER'S OPINIONIn this bag, you will find a classic, well-balanced Kenya — a blend of the two most valued botanical varieties in the country: SL28 and SL34. This combination is the foundation of Kenyan quality and is responsible for the characteristic, expressive profile of this region.In the aroma, the coffee presents itself very fresh and complex — notes of lemon, berries, and a delicate, slightly savory (umami) background appear, giving it depth. The flavor is dominated by citrus, especially lemon, intertwined with juicy blackberry and subtle, dry accents reminiscent of tomato.The body is medium, round, and pleasantly mouth-filling. The whole experience is completed by a long, fruity aftertaste and a vibrant, refreshing acidity with a slightly sparkling character, which gives the coffee energy and freshness.This is a classic Kenya in a very refined, clean form — intense yet elegant, and perfect for the increasingly warm days.RECIPEKenya captivates with its beautiful and sparkling acidity, which is why we recommend a dripper for this coffee — Hario V60 or Origami. For a 300 ml brew, use 18 g of medium-coarsely ground coffee (22-24 clicks on a Comandante), water at a temperature of 93-94°C, and pour as follows:0:00 – 55 ml (swirl the dripper)0:30 – 120 ml1:00 – 180 ml1:30 – 240 ml2:00 – 300 mlGently swirl at the end.Store in a cool and dry place.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Uganda, roasted in Poland by COFFEE PLANT. Dark roast, perfect for espresso, coffee machines, and moka pots. You can expect hints of caramel, peach, lemon and black tea.Country: UgandaRegion: Kasese DistrictFarm: Bugoye Washing StationProducent: Kyagalanyi Coffee Varietal: SL14, SL28Processing: Fully WashedAltitude: 1700-2200 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE REGION AND THE FARMThe magnificent Rwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon," stretch for over 120 km across western Uganda. High altitude, fertile volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and appropriate temperatures create ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee, while rivers flowing from the snow-capped peaks effectively irrigate the surrounding areas.Farmers delivering coffee cherries to the Bugoye washing station cultivate coffee trees on very small farms (approx. 2 acres), working by hand, often with the help of their entire families. This is because coffee serves as their primary source of income. Although the region is mainly famous for natural process coffees, washed coffees are also produced here—and that is exactly what this coffee is.Due to difficult access, many farms can only be reached on foot. To facilitate sales, 18 collection points were established, from which the coffee is transported for further processing. The mission of the Bugoye station is sustainable development, supported by professional agronomists working directly with local farmers.ABOUT THE PROCESSINGThe coffee cherries delivered to Bugoye are grown and harvested at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,200 meters above sea level. In addition to washed coffees, the station itself produces classic naturals, honey-processed coffees, and has also begun conducting experiments with fermentation. After the processing phase, the coffees were exported by Kyagalanyi Coffee, which is the first company in Uganda to receive a coffee export license.The washed process at Bugoye begins by placing the harvested cherries into large fermentation tanks filled with water. Anything that floats to the surface is then removed—damaged cherries, underripe ones, and all foreign objects like leaves or sticks. Next, the coffee is passed through a depulper and moves to further water tanks, where it is "washed" and ferments for 24 hours. Finally, the beans in parchment are dried, hulled, and packed into GrainPro bags.ROASTER'S OPINIONUganda is another African country where coffee production methods are changing dynamically. This momentum also greatly affects the quality of the beans sourced from there. For years, coffees from Uganda were primarily associated with low-quality Robusta. While high-quality microlots did appear, they were rare exceptions.The current situation in the green coffee market and the work of importers and exporters have ensured that the quality of Ugandan coffee improves year after year, with more high-quality coffee entering the market. We observe an improvement in bean quality annually, even as a result of minor adjustments to production processes.This washed lot from the Bugoye station is particularly interesting because it is very complex and somewhat unusual for washed beans from Uganda. The coffee has a light, tea-like body, reminiscent of those well-known from Ethiopia. The acidity is medium, citric, and delicately sparkling. The whole profile is complemented by a caramel-peach sweetness that is noticeable in the long aftertaste. This is the case for espresso, but after adding milk, the coffee changes dramatically. Although it remains light and tea-like, such as washed Ethiopias, the caramel-peach sweetness begins to stand out, creating a delicious, sweet milk coffee.RECIPEUse 18 grams of beans to brew 40 grams of espresso. Grind the coffee finely to aim for an extraction time of approximately 25 seconds. If you want to slightly suppress the acidity and boost the sweetness, grind a bit coarser to extend the extraction by a few seconds.Store in a cold and dry place.

The Brazilian beans are dried on concrete patios in a dry climate, which gives them a clean, chocolate-forward profile, while the Rwandan Bourbon is dried on raised beds in a more humid climate, developing a fruit-driven character.The Brazilian beans were decaffeinated using the supercritical CO₂ method, which removes caffeine while preserving aroma and structure. The LOW Very Berry brew is velvety and light, combining berry and chocolate notes with subtle citrus accents. It features high sweetness, a full body, and gentle acidity, with a long chocolate finish completing the composition. In 250 g of brew prepared according to the V60 protocol, 45.1 mg of caffeine was measured, representing approximately a 70% reduction compared to the fully caffeinated version.ROASTER'S OPINIONStore in a cold and dry space.
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Colombia, roasted in Warsaw by Coffeelab. Dark roast, perfect for espresso machines and moka pots. You can expect hints of almonds, amaretto and biscuits.Country: ColombiaRegion: HuilaMethod of decaffeination: SugarcaneAltitude: 1400 – 2000 m a.s.l.Variety: Castillo, Caturra, ColombiaABOUT COFFEEIn this edition, Decaf but Tasty! reminds us entirely of tiramisu. First, a dessert-like base of sponge fingers. Then plenty of sweetness, notes of almonds and that sweet-bitter amaretto accent.This coffee comes from Huila, Colombia, and follows a classic washed process. The beans are sourced from small-scale producers working on a few hectares each, where selective picking and controlled fermentation are the norm rather than the exception. Depulped on the day of harvest, fermented for 12–36 hours, then thoroughly washed and dried to the desired moisture level. The result is a clean, structured base that translates into clarity and balanced sweetness in espresso.Caffeine is removed using the EA (ethyl acetate) method. It is a compound that occurs naturally in fruit and as a by-product of sugar fermentation. The green coffee, already processed, is first steamed under low pressure to open up its structure. It is then placed in a water-EA solution, which binds to the caffeine molecules. The process is repeated until caffeine is no longer detectable. Finally, the coffee is steamed once more to remove any remaining traces, then dried and prepared for export.The result is a decaffeinated espresso that feels complete. Sweet, expressive and simply good.Store in a cold and dry space.Rebranding is underway, so you may receive either the old or the new version of the packaging in your parcel. The coffee remains the same, only the label has undergone a makeover.
Decaffeinated specialty coffee beans from Brazil and Mexico, roasted by COFFEE PLANT from Poland.

You can expect hints of peanuts, milk chocolate, flowers and dried fruits.Country: Brazil, MexicoMethod of decaffeination: CO2, Sugarcane Processing: WashedFLAVOURExperience full flavour without the caffeine. FLOW Mellow Decaf is a perfectly balanced blend that combines cocoa notes with subtle hints of plum and red apple. Thanks to the combination of beans from Brazil and Mexico, the coffee has a dense, sweet base with a light fruity accent that sneaks up on you.An ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a rich, sweet coffee without caffeine. A great option for any time of day, especially as an everyday pour-over that can be easily prepared in a drip coffee maker. For those who enjoy experimenting, it also brings plenty of joy when brewed manually, allowing even more flavour nuances to shine through.PROCESSINGThe decaffeination process used for our beans is based on two natural and safe methods: CO₂ Washed and Mountain Water Washed. Both techniques remove caffeine while preserving the integrity of the bean and the full spectrum of its natural aromas.In the CO₂ Washed method, green coffee beans are exposed to carbon dioxide under high pressure. CO₂ acts as a selective solvent, binding caffeine molecules without affecting the compounds responsible for the coffee’s flavour and aroma. After the process is complete, the CO₂ is released and the caffeine separated, making this method completely safe, clean, and environmentally friendly.The Mountain Water Washed method, on the other hand, uses pure water from mountain sources. The beans are soaked under controlled conditions, which opens their structure. The water is then circulated repeatedly, washing out the caffeine through a natural difference in concentration. After the process, the beans are carefully dried to restore the proper moisture level.Both methods preserve the authentic character of the coffee, delivering a full, natural taste — without caffeine.BREWINGThe density of decaffeinated coffee differs slightly from that of caffeinated coffee. It’s worth using a little more to enhance mouthfeel. Use 18.5 g of coffee, ground at 19 clicks on a Comandante grinder. Pour water at 98°C according to the following schedule:0:00 – 50 ml0:30 – 120 ml1:00 – 180 ml1:30 – 240 ml2:00 – 300 mlFinish with a gentle stir.Store in a cold and dry space.
Whole-bean specialty coffee beans from Kenya and Brazil, roasted by COFFEE PLANT from Poland. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods.

The dry, sunny conditions of Cerrado favor stable natural processing, giving the beans a clean, chocolate-forward character, while the Kenyan beans, fermented and dried on raised beds, develop a pronounced citrus acidity. The combination of these two components creates a harmonious chocolate-citrus profile with delicate notes of stone fruit.PROCESSINGAfter being imported to Europe, the Brazilian beans were decaffeinated using the supercritical CO₂ method, which selectively removes caffeine with minimal impact on the aroma and structure of the beans. As a result, LOW Juicy Fruit retains its full flavor, medium body, high sweetness, and lightly sparkling acidity, leading to a long, chocolate-citrus finish.We also verified the caffeine level in the final brew prepared according to the V60 protocol. In 250 g of brewed coffee, we measured 64.1 mg of caffeine, representing approximately a 70% reduction compared to the fully caffeinated version.ROASTER'S OPINIONStore in a cold and dry space.
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Kenya, roasted in Poland by COFFEE PLANT. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods.You can expect hints of orange, flowers, candid fruits and red currant.Origin: KenyaFarm: Gitare Washing StationVariety: SL28, SL34Processing: Fully WashedAltitude: 1620-1830 m a. s. l.BOUT THE FARMGitare is a respected coffee mill located in the picturesque Kiambu region of Kenya, owned by the Gititu Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS). It has operated continuously since 1954, combining decades of tradition with extensive experience in producing top-quality coffee.The mill processes coffee cherries delivered by approximately 1,000 smallholder farmers, who together produce close to 2,500 tons of coffee annually. Many farmers practice intercropping, growing coffee alongside bananas and maize, which improves soil fertility and supports local biodiversity. Coffee pulp residues from processing are composted and reused as natural fertilizer, promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly farming methods.Thanks to a harmonious blend of traditional practices, modern processing techniques, and strong environmental stewardship, Gitare produces coffees with a distinctive character and a rich, multidimensional flavor profile, highly regarded on international markets.PROCESSINGThe first stage of processing is fermentation lasting approximately 24 hours. The beans are then thoroughly washed and transferred to a second fermentation tank for an additional 12–24 hours. After this stage, they pass through washing channels where lighter beans (so-called floaters) are separated, while the heavier beans are cleaned of remaining pulp.Following washing, the beans are soaked in water tanks for up to 24 hours. This stage encourages the development of amino acids and proteins, resulting in higher acidity and greater complexity of fruity notes—hallmark characteristics of Kenyan coffees.At the final stage, the beans are dried on African raised beds. Initially, they are spread in a thin layer to quickly remove about 50% of the moisture within roughly 6 hours. They are then piled more thickly and dried for an additional 5–10 days. The dried parchment coffee is delivered to the dry mill and later stored in ventilated warehouses, where it rests until it reaches a moisture content of approximately 11%.ROASTER’S OPINIONKenya Gitare presents a classic flavor profile characteristic of the Kiambu terroir. The coffee features well-developed, medium and complex acidity, balanced by high sweetness and a full, pronounced body. The aroma reveals notes of currants, candied fruit, and delicate floral accents.On the palate, blackcurrants and oranges dominate, complemented by the sweetness of candied fruits. The cup is harmonious and exceptionally well-balanced, with pleasant medium acidity and clear sweetness. The finish is long, clean, distinctly currant-forward, and deeply satisfying. A superb example of a classic coffee from the Kiambu region.BREW RECIPEThe sweetness and rich aroma of this coffee make it very easy to brew, with results that are usually close to expectations. To make things even easier, we recommend the following recipe, which allows the coffee to open up fully without excessive intensity.Drip method (e.g. Origami)18 g medium-coarse ground coffee (22 clicks on a Comandante)Water temperature: 95°CPour as follows:0:00 – 55 ml (stir the dripper)0:30 – 120 ml1:00 – 180 ml1:30 – 240 ml2:00 – 300 mlFinish with a gentle stir.Store in a cold and dry space.

The dry, sunny conditions of Cerrado favor a clean, chocolate-forward profile with pronounced sweetness, while the slower drying on raised beds in the more humid microclimate of Rancho Grande creates greater complexity with notes of nuts and dried fruits.After import to Europe, some of the beans were decaffeinated using the supercritical CO₂ method, which effectively reduces caffeine with minimal impact on aroma and structure, allowing LOW Brownie to retain its full, balanced character. In the cup, chocolate and nuts dominate, with a delicate hint of dried fruits, high sweetness, medium body, low acidity, and a long, chocolate finish.We also verified the caffeine level in the final brew prepared according to the standardized V60 recipe. In 250 g of brewed coffee, we measured 54.4 mg of caffeine. Compared to the same coffee in its fully caffeinated version, this represents a real reduction of about 70% in caffeine content in the brewed coffee.ROASTER'S OPINIONThis coffee has a consistent chocolate-nut character, enriched with a subtle hint of dried fruits that gently highlight the flavor, reminiscent of classic brownies. It is distinguished by pronounced sweetness, medium fullness, very low acidity, and aromas of cocoa and chocolate. The whole is completed by a long, chocolate finish and excellent balance. This is how LOW Brownie – our reduced-caffeine coffee – presents itself.Store in a cold and dry space.

The Brazilian beans are dried on concrete patios in a dry climate, while the Ugandan beans undergo selection, flotation, and drying on raised beds with fermentation, giving them a fruity character. The combination of both creates a sweet, tropical-chocolate profile, known as LOW Jungle Fruit.The Brazilian beans were decaffeinated using supercritical CO₂, which removes caffeine while preserving aroma and structure. The brew is light, intensely tropical-fruity with a delicate chocolate background, full-bodied with smooth acidity, and a long, fruity finish that highlights its character.In 250 g of brew prepared according to the V60 protocol, 57.2 mg of caffeine was measured, representing approximately a 70% reduction compared to the fully caffeinated version.ROASTER’S NOTELOW Jungle Fruit presents itself as a brew with a pronounced tropical-fruity profile and a subtle chocolate background. Juicy notes of pineapple and passion fruit dominate, enriched by accents of apricot and ripe stone fruits. The pronounced sweetness adds depth to the flavor, while the rich body creates a dense, enveloping texture in the cup.The delicate, low acidity harmonizes with the chocolate base, and the long, fruity finish emphasizes the tropical character of the blend. This is how our low-caffeine version tastes – intensely, juicy, and full of character.Store in a cold and dry space.

Whole-bean specialty coffee beans from Costa Rica, roasted by COFFEE PLANT from Poland. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. You can expect hints of grapefruit, dark chocolate, plum and maple syrup.Origin: Costa RicaFarma: Finca La PromesaProcessing: NaturalVariety: Caturra, Red CatuaiAltitude: 1600 m a. s. l.ABOUT THE FARMIn the La Laguna de Tarrazú region, at an altitude of up to 1,650 meters above sea level, there is a small, carefully managed farm owned by Vanessa Jiménez and Mario Moreno. The producers focus on precise and responsible coffee processing, aiming to express the character of the local terroir while respecting the natural environment. During the harvest season, the farm employs around 15 people and produces approximately 5.5 tons of coffee annually from just under two hectares, cultivating several botanical varieties processed using different methods.Coffee production at this location comes with challenges such as variable weather conditions and rising operating costs. In response, the owners plan new plantings of varieties better adapted to the local climate, as well as a gradual expansion of their cultivation area. Since 2022, the farm has also been investing in the development of controlled fermentation infrastructure, which is used not only by the owners themselves but also by neighboring producers seeking to improve the quality of their coffees. This offering is another coffee from this farm in our portfolio—this time naturally processed Caturra and Red Catuai from the latest harvest in Costa Rica.ABOUT THE COFFEEAt the farm, every stage of the process is closely monitored and documented, allowing for consistent quality improvements from season to season. This lot was prepared using the natural processing method. Cherries of the Red Catuai and Caturra varieties are first placed in a water bath for flotation, during which selection takes place—only healthy, fully ripe cherries continue to the next stage, while defective fruit is removed.The cherries are then disinfected using ozone to limit the development of undesirable microorganisms. The next step is drying the whole fruit on raised beds typical of African coffee farms, under full sun. This process lasted 28 days and required regular turning of the coffee to ensure even moisture evaporation. The beans ultimately reached a moisture content of 10.5%.After drying, the coffee is placed in GrainPro bags, where it rests and stabilizes for at least one month. The final stage takes place at a dry mill, where the coffee is hulled, sorted by size and density, and subjected to electronic color sorting before shipment.Costa Rican coffees are often associated with pronounced sweetness, typically resulting from honey processing. In this case, however, we are dealing with a naturally processed coffee that dried for an extended period in full sun. The result is a very clean and transparent flavor profile, featuring notes of ripe grapefruit, plum, and dark chocolate. La Laguna stands out with an intense sweetness reminiscent of maple syrup. The body is high and almost oily, while the acidity is low and soft, with a subtle grapefruit accent. Altogether, this creates a smooth, harmonious, and well-balanced coffee.BREW RECIPEUse your preferred brewing method and recipe. Brew this coffee as you normally would, but grind it slightly finer than usual and use water at approximately 95–97°C.Store in a cold and dry space.

Just right over a few ice cubes when you feel like a cold coffee that leans more sweet than fruity and juicy. You won’t find high acidity or a citrusy kick here. Instead, there are notes of dried fruit, like sweet apricot, alongside the darker, deeper sweetness of muscovado sugar. The finish reminds us of rice tea: gently toasted, smooth, with a pleasantly sticky texture.ABOUT THE FARMBehind this coffee are Virgínia and Viviane Veloso, sisters and co-founders of Vivir Café. Their family has been working with coffee in Cerrado Mineiro for over 50 years, and today they produce coffee across six farms, focusing on specialty Arabica, quality and a more conscious approach to farming.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Tanzania, roasted in Warsaw by CoffeeLab.

Just as the warm weather has settled in for good, the first fresh harvests from Africa are starting to arrive. Itumpi from Tanzania clearly reminds us why we value coffees from this part of the continent: crisp, juicy brews with a large dose of freshness.In taste, Itumpi leans towards green-red rhubarb and pink grapefruit. The acidity is distinct and pleasantly juicy. In mouthfeel, the coffee is light, tea-like, and clean, with a crisp finish that practically begs to be brewed over ice.The enigmatic PB stands for peaberry. It refers to a natural anomaly where, instead of two flat beans, a single, smaller, and rounder bean develops inside the coffee cherry. Sometimes overlooked, though completely unfairly, because it can yield a very intense, concentrated flavor. It was this intensity that stole our taste buds from among the other grades.The raw material comes from the Itumpi cooperative in the Mbozi district, Songwe region. About 160 local producers operate here, cultivating coffee at an altitude of 1500–1700 meters above sea level. Since 2019, the cooperative has been producing fully washed coffees using their own wet mill. With such a crisp, acidic profile, this method fits like a glove.Store in a dry and cool place.

This is a cold brew that works especially well on warm days: refreshing, juicy, and pleasant from beginning to end.ROASTER'S OPINIONFLOW Cold Brew is a light, fresh, and perfectly balanced blend of coffees from Kenya and Ethiopia, designed for refreshing cold infusions ideal for summer.Kenya is responsible for the distinct, citrusy energy and structure that gives the beverage clarity and expressiveness — making it work perfectly as a cold brew. Ethiopia, in turn, brings delicacy, a tea-like character, and notes of stone fruit, making the whole profile lighter, cleaner, and more harmonious.The result is a highly drinkable profile where freshness and juiciness go hand in hand with a natural, subtle sweetness. This is a cold brew created for warm days — refreshing, light, and exactly the kind you reach for when you want something simple, fresh, and pleasant.RECIPEFLOW Cold Brew works best in a cold version — that is when it most fully reveals its freshness, lightness, and distinctly citrusy character.Start with a coarse grind of the coffee, in the range of about 28–32 clicks on a Comandante grinder (30 clicks is a good starting point). Then, pour cold, filtered water over it, keeping a ratio of 6 g of coffee per 100 g of water, and place the whole thing in the refrigerator for 14–16 hours.Store in a cold and dry space.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Honduras, roasted in Poland by COFFEE PLANT. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods.You can expect hints of tropical fruits, strawberry, citrus fruits and flowers.Origin: HondurasFarm: Finca GonzaloVariety: ParainemaProcessing: HoneyAltitude: 1530 m a. s. l.ABOUT THE FARMSebastian Mejía Mejía runs Finca Gonzalo in La Peña, in the Santa Bárbara region of Honduras, at an altitude of 1,530 meters above sea level. He comes from a family of coffee growers who, after moving away from conventional production and spending a period raising cattle, eventually settled in their current location. It was here that Sebastian decided to focus on producing high-quality specialty coffee.The farm covers 2.8 hectares and yields approximately 70 quintals of coffee annually. The main variety is Parainema, complemented by a young Geisha plantation. About half of the coffee is grown under controlled shade. Sebastian uses fertilization based on chicken manure and coffee pulp, supplemented with local blends adjusted according to soil analysis. He regularly prunes the coffee trees and monitors pests and diseases such as coffee borer beetle, coffee leaf rust, and leaf spot. In addition to coffee, he also grows avocados, bananas, and blackberries, while preserving trees and minimizing the environmental impact of farming.PROCESSINGThe coffee is processed using the honey method. The cherries ferment for approximately 36 hours in plastic bags, after which they are depulped and undergo a second, dry fermentation lasting another 36 hours. After fermentation, the beans are dried in parabolic solar dryers for 15–18 days, with regular turning and hand sorting. Once dried, the coffee is packed and stored on the farm before being delivered to the exporter San Vicente. The honey process requires minimal water usage, supporting sustainable and responsible production.ROASTER’S OPINIONSebastian Mejía’s Parainema shows two distinct faces that complement each other exceptionally well. On one hand, it offers medium, well-developed, and complex acidity typical of the Parainema variety. On the other, the influence of the honey process is clearly evident, delivering high sweetness and an intensely fruity, juicy profile.The aroma is very pleasant and enveloping, dominated by notes of ripe strawberries and citrus, supported by subtle floral accents that add lightness and elegance. On the palate, the coffee unfolds in layers: pronounced sweetness of tropical fruits and strawberries combines with lively, clean acidity reminiscent of various ripe citrus fruits.Despite its high sweetness and noticeable acidity, the cup remains very well balanced, smooth, and free of bitterness. The coffee is fresh, refreshing, and extremely drinkable, while still surprising with its intensity and clarity of flavor—especially for a coffee from Honduras. It is a proposition that blends varietal classicism with the modern, fruit-forward character of the honey process.BREWINGUse your preferred method and recipe. Brew this coffee like any other, using water at around 95°C. It is very forgiving and difficult to mess up. Store in a cold and dry space.

Wait about 2 minutes, then remove the filter.Country: ColombiaRegion: Pitalito, HuilaWashing Station: El Puente Washing StationVariety: CastilloProcessing method: HoneyAltitude: 1680 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE PRODUCEREl Puente is a project owned by Clearpath Coffee, established with the goal of creating a new washing station in the Huila region. Founded in 2018 near the town of Palestina in southern Huila, the station was built to support local farmers by providing easier access to coffee processing and sales. Today, 214 nearby farmers deliver their freshly harvested cherries to El Puente—most of them of the Castillo variety.El Puente focuses primarily on honey, natural, and other experimental fermentation methods, all while minimizing water usage.This particular lot is 100% Castillo, processed using the honey method. Upon arrival at the station, cherries underwent an initial selection to remove debris and under- or overripe fruit. Then, they were placed in a water tank to eliminate remaining floaters and defects. Next, the cherries were pulped to remove the skin, and the beans were placed in anaerobic fermentation tanks for 6 hours. Afterward, they were dried on raised beds for about 20 days until reaching optimal moisture content. Finally, the beans were cleaned, vacuum-packed in GrainPro bags, and prepared for export.Thanks to this carefully designed process, the result is a uniform, defect-free coffee with beautifully developed beans—an excellent base for precise roasting.ROASTER'S NOTESInside this bag, you’ll find 100% Castillo – a variety known for its high yield, resistance to fungal diseases, and exceptional balance between sweetness and acidity.In the aroma, you’ll discover sweet notes of strawberry and banana, complemented by delicate floral hints.In taste, these fruity tones dominate, harmonized by a pleasant, grapefruit-like acidity. The cup has a rich, syrupy body and a long, sweet, fruity finish.This coffee stands out for its exceptional sensory profile and remarkable precision in processing and selection. Although El Puente is a relatively new station, its skilled and curious team continues to deliver outstanding and experimental results year after year.Store in a cold and dry space.
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Uganda, roasted in Poland by COFFEE PLANT. Dark roast, perfect for espresso, coffee machines, and moka pots. You can expect hints of caramel, peach, lemon and black tea.Country: UgandaRegion: Kasese DistrictFarm: Bugoye Washing StationProducent: Kyagalanyi Coffee Varietal: SL14, SL28Processing: Fully WashedAltitude: 1700-2200 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE REGION AND THE FARMThe magnificent Rwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon," stretch for over 120 km across western Uganda. High altitude, fertile volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and appropriate temperatures create ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee, while rivers flowing from the snow-capped peaks effectively irrigate the surrounding areas.Farmers delivering coffee cherries to the Bugoye washing station cultivate coffee trees on very small farms (approx. 2 acres), working by hand, often with the help of their entire families. This is because coffee serves as their primary source of income. Although the region is mainly famous for natural process coffees, washed coffees are also produced here—and that is exactly what this coffee is.Due to difficult access, many farms can only be reached on foot. To facilitate sales, 18 collection points were established, from which the coffee is transported for further processing. The mission of the Bugoye station is sustainable development, supported by professional agronomists working directly with local farmers.ABOUT THE PROCESSINGThe coffee cherries delivered to Bugoye are grown and harvested at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,200 meters above sea level. In addition to washed coffees, the station itself produces classic naturals, honey-processed coffees, and has also begun conducting experiments with fermentation. After the processing phase, the coffees were exported by Kyagalanyi Coffee, which is the first company in Uganda to receive a coffee export license.The washed process at Bugoye begins by placing the harvested cherries into large fermentation tanks filled with water. Anything that floats to the surface is then removed—damaged cherries, underripe ones, and all foreign objects like leaves or sticks. Next, the coffee is passed through a depulper and moves to further water tanks, where it is "washed" and ferments for 24 hours. Finally, the beans in parchment are dried, hulled, and packed into GrainPro bags.ROASTER'S OPINIONUganda is another African country where coffee production methods are changing dynamically. This momentum also greatly affects the quality of the beans sourced from there. For years, coffees from Uganda were primarily associated with low-quality Robusta. While high-quality microlots did appear, they were rare exceptions.The current situation in the green coffee market and the work of importers and exporters have ensured that the quality of Ugandan coffee improves year after year, with more high-quality coffee entering the market. We observe an improvement in bean quality annually, even as a result of minor adjustments to production processes.This washed lot from the Bugoye station is particularly interesting because it is very complex and somewhat unusual for washed beans from Uganda. The coffee has a light, tea-like body, reminiscent of those well-known from Ethiopia. The acidity is medium, citric, and delicately sparkling. The whole profile is complemented by a caramel-peach sweetness that is noticeable in the long aftertaste. This is the case for espresso, but after adding milk, the coffee changes dramatically. Although it remains light and tea-like, such as washed Ethiopias, the caramel-peach sweetness begins to stand out, creating a delicious, sweet milk coffee.RECIPEUse 18 grams of beans to brew 40 grams of espresso. Grind the coffee finely to aim for an extraction time of approximately 25 seconds. If you want to slightly suppress the acidity and boost the sweetness, grind a bit coarser to extend the extraction by a few seconds.Store in a cold and dry space.

Citrus notes introduce a crisp quality, berry accents build a fruity profile, and caramel sweetness binds it all together, adding a pleasant depth.After the steeping process, you get a brew with a juicy, fresh, and naturally sweet character. This is a low-caffeine cold brew that, despite its lightness, remains distinct in flavor — perfect for when you want something delicate but still full of aroma and character.ROASTER'S OPINIONLOW Cold Brew is a light, refreshing blend of coffees from Brazil, Kenya, and Rwanda with a reduced caffeine content — created specifically for cold brews that you can drink at any time of the day. The composition offers a fresh, fruity profile balanced by a delicate sweetness. In the first impression, citrus and berry notes appear, giving the beverage a distinct crispness and lightness. The whole is completed by a subtle caramel sweetness that introduces a pleasant depth and balance. This is a cold brew that delivers exactly what you would expect from a summer infusion — juiciness, freshness, and natural sweetness, but with less caffeine. Perfect for warm days and all the moments when you feel like having something truly refreshing and light.RECIPELOW Cold Brew develops its character best in cold preparation — that is when it fully shows the freshness, lightness, and fruity juiciness that makes you want to come back for more.Start with a coarse grind of the coffee, preferably in the range of 28–32 clicks on a Comandante grinder (around 30 clicks will be a good reference point). Then, pour cold, filtered water over it in a ratio of 6 g of coffee per 100 g of water and place the whole thing in the refrigerator for 14–16 hours.After filtering, you will get a clear brew with a fresh, fruity profile and natural sweetness. It works great drunk on its own, with ice cubes, or as a base for light summer drinks.Store in a cold and dry space.
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Mexico, roasted in Poland by COFFEE PLANT. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods.You can expect hints of toffi, lemon, plum and spices.Origin: MexicoRegion: Jaltenango, ChiapasProcessing: WashedMethod of decaffeination: Mountain Water ProcessVariety: BourbonAltitude: 1650-1800 m a. s. l.Farm: La TribuLa Tribu is a producer organization operating in the Jaltenango area and the Sierra Madre region of Mexico. The Bourbon variety beans found in this package come from 65 women farmers associated with La Tribu. These producers not only grow high-quality coffee but also actively strengthen their local communities and consistently develop their farms. Despite numerous structural barriers, La Tribu members invest every year both in their farms and in expanding their knowledge, striving for long-term stability and independence.ABOUT THE COFFEEThis lot is a carefully selected batch of coffee prepared by La Tribu that has undergone decaffeination. As with most coffees from Mexico, the Mountain Water Process was used, carried out in Veracruz. Despite the use of a water-based method, the coffee has retained its original sensory profile and character.The coffee went through two stages of processing. The first was post-harvest processing—in this case, the fully washed method. After delivery to the wet mill, the beans were hand-sorted and then placed in water. At this stage, another selection took place: damaged, underripe, or overripe beans were removed, along with other impurities resulting from hand harvesting. After a short soaking, the coffee passed through a depulper and then fermented in water. Once fermentation was complete, the beans were spread out on patios, dried to the appropriate moisture level, the silverskin was removed, and the coffee was prepared for storage.The second stage of production was decaffeination. The selected lot was transported to a facility in Veracruz, where coffee in Mexico is typically decaffeinated. Water from mountain springs is used to extract the caffeine. As with all methods of this type, organic compounds removed along with the caffeine are captured by carbon filters and then reintroduced into the water that comes into contact with the beans, allowing the coffee to retain its full flavor.ROASTER’S OPINIONThis coffee immediately caught our attention during the first cupping, and we quickly decided it deserved a place in our offering. The fact that it is decaffeinated turned out to be more of a coincidence—we did not initially plan to introduce a decaf with this kind of character. The aroma is dominated by floral and spice notes, complemented by a subtle hint of orange peel. On the palate, clear notes of orange appear, along with gentle spiciness reminiscent of pepper and cloves, as well as plum and sweet caramel. The profile is harmonious, with mild acidity, medium body, and excellent balance. Considering the terroir and the fact that this is a decaffeinated coffee, its character can be genuinely surprising.BREW RECIPEUse your preferred brewing method and recipe. Brew this coffee as you normally would, but grind it slightly finer than usual and use water at approximately 95–97°C.Store in a cold and dry space.
