The story behind our coffee. Or how a little stone fruit in the uplands of Honduras becomes the soul of a drink.
Clear goal: no compromises
Ten years ago, we were told that if we wanted to produce a cold coffee to go, we would have to compromise. If there was one thing we knew, it was that we were prepared to do anything – except compromise. Especially when it comes to selecting our coffee in Honduras. Deep river valleys, nutrient-rich soils and a moderate tropical climate is where our arabica beans slowly ripen, at 1,000 metres above sea level.
Dried by the sun
The berries are dried in the sun immediately after harvesting. Our coffee farmers spread the berries out on large screen tables. The screen tables are positioned under purpose-built tents or light-permeable roofs. This batch drying for two weeks prevents the formation of undesirable acids. This results in the unmistakeable aroma of LATTESSO beans.
Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance promotes joint social and ecological efforts. In doing so, it focuses on the positive effects of responsible decisions. The seal indicates that the certified product - in our case Lattesso green coffee - has been produced using methods that support the three pillars of sustainability - social, economic and environmental.
