ROAST MASTERS 2019 - 2ND PLACE

We created this blend for the Roast Masters 2019 competition in Milano, where the task was to create an espresso blend that celebrates the specialty coffee industry and introduces a new idea. We did exactly that, and this blend was one of the reasons why we came back with a silver medal. The idea – use higher scoring coffees to achieve intense and complex flavors but roast in a method that retains a taste balance and texture that is friendly for all coffee lovers. The result – truly sweet, complex, competition-quality coffee that is a hit for every occasion.

DECAF

Origin: Colombia
Region: Risaralda
Producer: Regional farmers
Altitude: 1400-2000 meters above sea level
Variety: Castillo, Variedad Colombia, Caturra
Process: Washed Sugarcane Decaf
Roast level: Medium roast (Espresso)
SCA Score: 82.75 points

The Risaralda Decaf is a blend of coffees from the regions of Asocafe Tatama Santuario, El Aguila, and Entreverdes. A regional blend created by our partner "Raw Material" means we can maximise the impact for producers across the department of Risaralda, by bringing much larger volumes of their coffee to the specialty market.

Sugarcane decaffeination is often termed as a natural process decaf. Ethyl Acetate is an organically existing compound (C4H8O2) and by-product found most commonly in the fermentation of fruits, and is present in both ripe bananas and beer for example.
This process begins with steaming of the coffee, increasing its porosity, beginning the hydrolysis of caffeine, which is usually bonded to salts and chlorogenic acid in the bean. The beans are then submerged in an ethyl acetate solvent, until 97% of the caffeine is removed. A final steam is then used to lift residual traces of the compound.

Ethiopia, Agaro Region, Goma, Smallholder farmers  / 2000 - 2100 masl. / Heirloom / Washed / SCA – 84.50p

Mustefa Abakeno, a dedicated smallholder farmer in the picturesque Jimma Zone of Western Ethiopia, manages an extensive 18-hectare farm. His farm is a testament to the rich coffee heritage of Ethiopia, featuring a diverse array of coffee varieties sourced from the esteemed Jimma research center. Mustefa's processing methods seamlessly blend traditional techniques with innovative practices, resulting in exceptional coffee beans that honor Ethiopia's esteemed coffee culture.

At the beginning of his endeavour, Mustefa purchased a three-discs Coffee Pulper to process half of his harvest using the Fully Washed method. However, due to water scarcity and limited fermentation space, he adapted his approach. The pulped coffee underwent a brief eight-hour fermentation process before being skillfully transferred to drying beds, until reaching the optimal moisture content. This process creates a wonderfull complexity, that compliments the traditional profile of Ethiopian coffee.                          

This espresso delivers the best of a classic natural processed regional blend from Campo das Vertentes in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It exemplifies the consistent quality created by Brazil’s seasoned farmers. The producers use all available technologies to advance production, thus achieving coffees that offer balanced, smooth profiles, and flavor notes that we all love and cherish in a cup of coffee.

Organic coffee from the Fazenda Dutra in Brazil - combines excellent taste with certified and traceable quality. Fazenda Dutra is dedicated to producing high-quality coffees, investing in new technologies, and searching for more sustainable methods of production. Furthermore, the farm does not use toxic pesticides or herbicides, only biological treatments - the production process does not degrade the land and at the same time elevates the quality.

The sweet, fruity profile of this Ethiopian coffee is a classic representation of one of the country's most recognized coffee-producing areas - Beshasha. It is a washed process Ethiopian Heirloom, grown by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia. Beshasha encompasses many terroirs, but farming across the region is traditionally low input and the outstanding attributes of the plants and the land are captured in every harvest.

LIGHT & JUICY

Origin: Peru
Region: Huabal
Producer: Regional farmers
Altitude: 1700-1900 meters above sea level
Variety: Caturra, Catuai, Catimor
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 84.00 points

Huabal is a district within the Jaen province of Cajamarca and has significant potential to produce high-quality coffee. Spanning multiple mountain ranges, Huabal features considerable variation in climate and soil composition. Some areas experience wet, humid conditions with red, African-like soils, while others are drier and hotter. This diversity contributes to complex and distinctive cup profiles.

This lot is a blend from multiple producers in the district of Huabal, where the average farm size is approximately 1.5 hectares. Producers in this area harvest and process their coffee independently, typically drying it on lined patios. After harvesting, the coffee rests for 24 hours before being depulped and fermented for 36 hours. It is then dried for 10 to 15 days until it reaches the ideal humidity level.

Origin: Brazil
Region: Campo das Vertentes

Altitude: 1050 meters above sea level
Variety: Catigua, Catucai
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 83.00 points

This coffee comes from a very small, 1.1 hectare, family-owned farm located in the Fagundes Community in Santo Antonio do Amparo. The producers are members of the Fagundes Community Association, which was founded to strengthen local growers and support coffee production in the area.

This is our third time buying from Arlindo’s family, and this year we exclusively purchased their entire harvest - 11 bags. From the moment we first shook hands, we made a promise to each other: as long as the Arlindos continue to grow coffee, KALVE will continue to buy from them in support of the outstanding quality they produce.

The cherries were handpicked, carefully sorted and spread evenly for drying, skipping the wet mill. Because there is no contact with water, the coffee avoids the development of unwanted fermented flavors. Instead, it produces a clean profile with rich chocolate and nut notes, complemented by mild acidity. Once the beans reach the final stage of drying, the dried cherry is removed, and the beans are cleaned and sent to our partner cooperative Sancoffee for quality assurance and final processing before export.

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Brazil
Region: Campo das Vertentes
Producer: Henrique Dias Cambraia
Altitude: 1100 meters above sea level
Variety: Yellow bourbon
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.00 points

Synonymous of tradition, Fazenda Samambaia has been the heritage of the Cambraia family for over a hundred years, dating back to the early stages of coffee growing at Campo das Vertentes, in Minas Gerais State. As a fourth-generation coffee grower, Henrique has overcome many challenges. When travelling abroad, he realized that Brazilian coffees were not on the shelves of international coffee shops and this fact drew his attention to the emerging specialty coffee market. Very soon, Henrique started focusing on high quality coffees and joined forces with other producers in Campo das Vertentes, to found Sancoffee - a cooperative dedicated to directly exporting their specialty coffees.

Nowadays, in addition to remarkable coffees, Fazenda Samambaia places great importance in social and environmental responsibility, investing in training for the team, innovating in farming and post-harvest practices to assure the sustainability of the coffee business, inspiring future generations.

This lot undergoes anaerobic fermentation. The process takes place in plastic barrels sealed airtight with a valve to control gas exchange, and it may begin in an aerobic environment until microorganisms consume the available oxygen. Over approximately five days, the temperature of the coffee mass and pH levels are monitored as key indicators of the fermentation rate. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are transferred to raised beds to undergo the drying process until the coffee reaches the ideal moisture level.

Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 86 points

Built in 2017, Shyira is a washing station situated at 2,000 meters above sea level, collecting cherries from neighbouring smallholder producers. This is among the highest-grown coffee we know of in Rwanda, from a region where very few washing stations exist, making it especially unique. Cherries are handpicked on remote mountain plots and carried down narrow paths to be carefully sorted, washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds beneath alternating sun and fog.

Coffee cherries are hand-sorted to remove any underripe fruit or foreign matter. They are then floated in tanks to separate any remaining floaters before the drying process begins. After sorting, the coffee is laid evenly across raised beds, allowing consistent airflow while keeping it elevated to protect it from moisture and animals. The coffee dries for around 30 days, turned regularly during peak sun and covered at night. Once fully dried, the outer fruit layer is removed, leaving the green coffee ready for export.
