This is a blend of 100% Arabica terroir coffees from three countries across two continents. The blend features carefully selected, fully ripe beans from biodynamic and near-natural cultivation, transparently and fairly traded. Origins include India (EU-Bio in conversion, Fair Trade, Direct Trade), Honduras (EU-Bio in conversion, Bird Friendly), and Brazil (Rainforest Alliance certified). The coffee is medium roasted and offers flavor notes of plum sweetness, malt, and caramel. It is suitable for espresso machines, fully automatic machines, and Moka pot/Bialetti brewing methods.
Black & Blaze was founded in 2010 by Claude Stahel, who decided to dedicate his life to coffee while on holiday. Based in Ebmatingen near Zurich, the micro roastery applies a gentle drum roasting process to carefully sourced beans from direct trade partners and Rainforest Alliance certified origins. The range includes both blends and single origins from producers in Honduras, Brazil, India, Colombia, and Mexico. Black & Blaze favors coffees with body, chocolate notes, and low acidity, roasted to medium profiles that suit espresso and fully automatic machines alike. Sustainability and traceability are central to the operation, and every batch reflects a commitment to quality over volume.
