SULAWESI

This coffee makes an immediate impression. Bold, intense and characterful. When tasting, we rarely came across such an earthy and spicy coffee.

The distinctive flavour comes not only from its origin, but also from the traditional processing method.

Unique and full of character. A real powerhouse as an espresso, but also surprisingly lovely in a cappuccino.

Origin & details

After harvest, the beans are dried and the silver skin is removed. They then continue drying on the patio. This traditional method gives them their distinctive spicy flavour and the almost blue-green colour of the bean.
