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.

“Candy Shop” is our go-to blend when we want to showcase the fruity aspects of specialty coffee. Much more than a bean – coffee is a fruit, and a very sweet one at that. This signature blend will shine with these properties, displaying a ripe fruit acidity, sweetness of natural sugars and fruity flavour notes of the origins, balanced out with a caramel-like sweetness from the roast.

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.

Process: Washed Sugarcane Decaf

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.

KALVE Coffee continues to celebrate the achievements of legendary masters of Latvian visual art, this time dedicating its most relevant Toffee espresso blend to the pioneer of Latvian modernism, Jāzeps Grosvalds.
Jāzeps Grosvalds, known as Joe among his family and friends, is one of the most prominent figures in Latvian art - not only classical modernism pioneer , but also the originator of several nationally important topics that formed the basis for the modern art of the newly independent country of Latvia.
In August 1913, Joe and his brother Olgert went on a trip to Spain, where they visited several cities including Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Seville and Granada. In the city of Seville, the artist was in a constantly excited mood and he felt like he was in a real oriental fairy tale. He was particularly fascinated by the gardens of the Alcázar Palace: “Everywhere flowers – rose and almond blossoms and soft, perfumed air; decoration for the Arabian Nights,” Joe writes in his diary. The teeth of the medieval towers behind the mimosas curtain or rose net and the former minaret or Hiralda tower between palm trees on dark blue sky background – this is the visual formula that allowed Grosvalds to become aware of color the role of expression, their emotional and aesthetic effects, which will appear so strongly in his later works.

In honor of the birthday of the great landscape painter Vilhelms Purvītis and the artist's 150th anniversary in 2022, we opened a special art collection tin with Purvītis work “in Spring” (Springtime).
The name of Purvītis has been accumulated by his own image of the native nature, becoming a sign of national identity. At the turn of the century, he was an international recognition of the modern winter and spring motifs in the big European art centers, strengthening his future status in the Latvian art world.
The landscape called "Snow psychologists and physiologists" is mostly known after the many varying views of early north spring, where birch is reflected in the water in the thaw. However, in the portrayal of nature awakening, Ziedonis time was also associated with the time of the white humps to resemble flowering fruit trees and the snow blossomed in the air. Colors in the pure and cheerful painting "Spring" ("Ziedonis") belong to the artist's best known masterpiece, which is included in the list of values of the Latvian Cultural Canon.

KALVE's dedication to Felicita Pauļuka and past exhibition at the Latvian National Museum of Art, "IN THE NAME OF DESIRE", where the diversity of themes related to sexuality and sensuality in the history and present of Baltic visual arts is highlighted.
With this dedication, KALVE wishes to celebrate human diversity, unique inner and outer beauty, and the individual life stories of each of us!
It is important for us to build and be part of an inclusive society that is free from stereotypes and prejudices and is based on mutual respect, openness, and empathy.
Felicita Pauļuka (1925–2014) established the tradition of Latvian pastel painting in the second half of the 20th century and is known as one of the most outstanding portrait and nude painters in Latvian art. The artist herself emphasizes that there are no significant differences between a portrait and a nude in her painting, as the nude is an extension of the portrait. In Felicita's words: "The human body expresses not only the exterior but also the deeper essence, just like the face. The hands and feet also have their own life story. Therefore, for me, the nude is an extended portrait, involving the entire body and expressing the essence of a person."

The biography and creative work of Jānis Rozentāls (1866–1916) vividly affirm the growing social and national self-awareness among Latvian artists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The painter first gained broad recognition at home in 1896 during the Latvian Ethnographic Exhibition, alongside his nationally patriotic contemporaries from the “Rūķis” circle, who championed the idea of serving their people and portraying their lives through art.
Along with Vilhelms Purvītis and Johans Valters, Rozentāls was one of the few contemporaries who brought Latvian visual art closer to the horizons of Europe’s major art centers around 1900.
In the Impressionist domestic scene On the Terrace (Veranda in Capri), a moment is captured on the island of Capri—beloved by writers, artists, and travelers. In the summer of 1912, it was one of the final stops on the painter's journey through Italy with his wife, Elli.
In a pergola shaded by climbing plants and protected from direct sunlight, vacationers are depicted in an intimately idyllic setting, enjoying a meal. In the foreground, seated at one of the white-covered tables, the artist has painted himself and Elli dressed in light-colored clothing.
Elli, a Finnish mezzo-soprano, had studied singing in Italy before their marriage. On this journey, she returned not only as an artist’s companion, model, and mother of their three children, but as someone deeply woven into his creative life.
The composition, built in fragments, carries the freshness of a study painting—carefree and light in mood, rich in color, and glowing with aestheticized tones, all suffused with shimmering reflections of plein-air light.
Rozentāls modeled the forms with painterly sensitivity, using dynamic and varied single-stroke brush techniques. The signature and date are notably accompanied by the place of creation—“Jan Rosenthal Capri / 1912”—a rare inclusion in his oil paintings.
