For all of our coffees, we work personally, hand in hand, with highly committed and demanding farmers who deliver the best quality. Coffee and the land on which it grows is their livelihood. They are the first to actively work to preserve and protect it.

Farmers also want to live a good life. Financial incentives are therefore one of the biggest drivers of sustainability. We pay them extremely well for their extraordinary work - on average €3.68 more than the Fair Trade level.

All of our coffees are always fresh, seasonally adjusted and can be traced back to their origin.

We use fully recyclable monoplastic for our packaging.

All of our coffees are direct trade, which means that we work directly with each farm, visit them, get to know them and always understand how much money they receive for their coffee. We either trade directly with the farms or buy from completely transparent importers who share our philosophy and pay the farms fairly and transparently.

We visit our farms, get to know the farmers and build a personal, close trading relationship with them. What becomes clear on every visit is that the farmers are deeply connected to their land - it is their livelihood. They are the first to actively work to preserve and protect it.

Their sustainability measures include the avoidance of synthetic pesticides/fertilizers, biodiversity, more efficient use of water, protection of pristine forests and wildlife, fair pay, ethical working conditions and ultimately coffee quality.

It is very impressive to see how farmers find creative ways with simple means to comply with these measures.

Some of our coffees carry the official organic seal . However, many of our farms are small operations that cannot afford such certification, which ultimately does not make them any less "organic" in most cases.

Direct relationships with the farms allow us to understand how much they actually receive for their coffee and ensure that they are paid fairly and adequately.

Fair trade means payment of twice the market price of coffee.

On average (across our range) we pay €3.68 more than fair trade level.

The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has developed a rating system for green coffee, which primarily helps to distinguish normal from specialty coffee.

The scoring is structured as follows:

80 – 84.99 points represent a very good green coffee

85 – 89.99 points for an excellent green coffee and

90 – 100 points for an exceptional green coffee

Coffees with a score above 90 are extremely rare and are usually produced in so-called nanolots (nano-compartments of a farm).

We always roast our coffees fresh, slowly and gently.

Our coffees tend to be lighter roasted to fully exploit their aromatic potential.

We add a little more body to our espresso roasts so they can be perfectly prepared on any type of espresso machine.

Our filter roasts, on the other hand, highlight the fine, complex flavor nuances and develop best with hand-brewed preparation methods.
