Planet Java 100% Arabica House Blend Coffee Beans (1kg)

Our South American Arabica beans in this blend are usually from Brazil, the largest producer of coffee in the world. With such diversity, the range of coffee that it produces is vast – from smallholder farms to expansive estates. Soils, regional climate and temperatures make great growing conditions. However, Brazil lacks altitude – a factor considered crucial for creating the very best flavours expected from Arabica coffee and much of the coffee is grown at or below 1000m above sea level, much lower than the typical 1400m – 1800m that can be found in many other coffee producing nations.

Brazil has worked hard in recent years to promote itself as a sustainable producer, and global attention has forced various legislature through to enforce the protection of indigenous habitats and forestry. Many estates have taken this further and included substantial conservation areas on their estates. Typical flavouring from Brazil on the commercial grades invokes nuts, caramel and creamy body, but as producers develop new techniques, we are beginning to enjoy new-found sweetness, citrus and acidity from these coffees.

We have then blended and roasted these exceptional beans by hand in our own roastery to ensure that the finished product is as good as it can possibly be. It is then quality checked and then packed by hand in individual resealable bags.
