Coffee

I.

100% speciality grade Arabica coffee is an investment. We source our green coffee from single farms and estates in the speciality coffee market, with our focus on quality, provenance, sustainability, freshness and fair relationships with the growers.

Guided by our green bean suppliers, experience and our Ikawa sample roaster, we profile our single origin beans to enhance and develop their individual characteristics and flavours.

Each origin has its own unique growing conditions and processes which impart distinct nuances. We skilfully unlock these, creating an ever surprising, invigorating and truly remarkable taste experience.

II.

We develop our signature espresso blends and single origin coffees in line with the growing seasons and the best harvests from each chosen country.

When we find a coffee that we love, we involve our customers in the tasting and evaluation and only when it meets the highest standard, will it be added to our portfolio.

VI. Costa Rica – La Laguna Community Lot

The communities program has been running with Coope Tarrazú since 2012, and was designed to help promote the individual characteristics of the coffee in ‘micro-zones’ of the Tarrazú region.

The coffee of the Tarrazú region is one of the most recognized in Costa Rica and in the world and represents around 40% of the national production. Most of the plantations are under shade, with different trees in the area.

In the district of San Marcos, La Laguna de Tarrazú is one of those communities that regularly contribute to our line up of Costa Rican coffees. This is a small community of producing families who have an annual production capacity of around 50 bags, with all 35 producing families working together to do so.
