Unblended arabicas from South America
Brazilian Palace:
Specially selected for it’s very soft body and smooth character. Produces a distinctive
mellow and sweet cup with vanilla overtones.
Colombian Decaffeinated (Swiss Water Processed):
Known to be the best decaffeinating process, allows the coffee to retain its flavour
and body. Caffeine content is no more than 0.03g per kilo of coffee. The Swiss Water
Process is a non-chemical process.
Colombia Supremo:
Screened to contain only the largest, uniformly sized beans without imperfections,
and therefore roasts very evenly. Pleasant, exceptionally mellow,
full-bodied coffee with mild natural acidity producing well balanced brew with excellent aroma.
Panama Yanguez:
Produces a smooth cup similar to the Colombian, but having a slightly heavier body.
This “strictly hard bean” coffee is the best from Panama and makes great espresso
or blends, smooth and well balanced
Peru Grace Estate:
Peru has grown quickly in coffee exports in the last decade. Grace Estate cups extremely
well with a light body, good acidity, a mild flavour and great aroma.
