Espresso coffee beans

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.

This coffee comes from the village of Banko Chelchele in Gedeb, Southern Ethiopia, within the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee-growing region. It is exported by EDN, an Ethiopian specialty coffee company recognized for its close partnerships with smallholder farmers and its commitment to producing high-quality, fully traceable coffees. Farming in the area is deeply rooted in local knowledge, family traditions, and community-based harvesting practices.

The Chelchele washing station has developed a "Super Natural Process" that emphasizes the best qualities of naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. During the harvest season, coffee cherries are hand-picked with careful attention to ripeness and quality. Only carefully selected cherries are placed in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, where they undergo controlled fermentation for approximately 36 to 48 hours. Then coffee cherries are slowly dried for around 27 to 30 days. This method is designed to extend the drying process, allowing gradual chemical changes to occur within the beans before milling and preparation for export.

Timor-Leste is one of the world’s youngest countries, gaining independence in 2002. As the country’s oil reserves begin to run dry, improving the coffee sector became critically important. Coffee is the country’s second-largest export after oil, with around 37% of households depending on it for income. Our partner, Raw Material, works with coffee producers in Ermera, home to some of Timor-Leste’s highest coffee production. Despite its potential, the region faces low productivity and volatile prices, making investment in coffee quality and processing especially important.
In 2018, Raw Material built the Raimutin Wet Mill in Atsabe, Ermera. Designed in-house and using locally available materials, the mill was created to improve coffee quality while keeping the process simple and efficient. Sitting at 1,400 metres above sea level, it serves as a central hub for purchasing, processing, and drying coffee from producers across the municipality - as well as a meeting place for local communities and Raw Material.
This coffee is part of that ongoing effort to build a stronger and more sustainable coffee sector in Timor-Leste.

Thousands of young people in Latvia are too young to feel unwanted. Yet, this is their reality. Growing up without a supportive family, they lack an adult by their side who can listen, help them overcome challenges, and encourage them to believe in themselves and their abilities.

Mentor Latvia is the only organisation in Latvia offering these young people individual and group mentoring, helping them build self-confidence and integrate more successfully into society.
