This coffee is a 100% Arabica single origin from Brazil, specifically from the Sul de Minas region at 1200 meters altitude. It is sourced from the family-run Sitio Caninana farm operated by João Batista. The coffee features Yellow and Red Catuai varieties processed using the natural method. It is a full-bodied filter coffee with very mild acidity and a light fruit note, offering flavor notes of chocolate, nut, and caramel.
Maximilian Kranz and Dominik Münstermann founded Bohnenkartell in Essen, building a cafe and roastery whose playful name, meaning "Bean Cartel," belies a serious commitment to specialty coffee. All green coffees meet the SCA Specialty Coffee standard of 80 points or above, and each batch is individually roasted on a drum roaster to preserve the unique aromas and characteristics of its origin. Bohnenkartell also offers SCA certified barista courses, cementing their role as both a quality focused roastery and an educational resource in the Ruhr Valley's specialty coffee scene.
