For Arabica lovers
If you appreciate Arabica, you have a wide choice of aromatic qualities, as this species includes more than two hundred varieties. And without a doubt, you will love Huehuetenango Zaculeu. Grown in plantations on the non-volcanic mountain range of the Zaculeu region in Huehuetenango, near the Mexican border, benefiting from Guatemala's subtropical climate, the coffee beans reach perfect maturity, which gives them an exceptional and very particular body and aroma. The very fertile limestone soils of the Guatemalan highlands give the coffee beans a distinct acidity with just a subtle hint of wine, pepper, cardamom, and apricot, conferring a powerful and highly fragrant aroma. Hand-picked, the coffee cherries are immediately washed and pulped, the beans are dried on terraces and then in dryers until their moisture content is only 11%. An extraordinary coffee with an intense body, it is appreciated by Guatemalans and Arabica lovers worldwide.
Blends of Arabica and Robusta
Accused (often wrongly) of not being as good as Arabica coffees, Robusta is unfortunately very rarely found in coffee blends on the Quebec market. Yet, Italian blends composed of Robusta and Arabica varieties from Africa, South America, and India offer a perfect balance between the fruity flavors of Arabica and the strength of Robusta. Distinguished by its delicate foam, this coffee attacks the palate with intensity and offers a fleshy and abundant texture. It lingers well in the mouth and leaves a slightly spicy and liquorice-like taste. A powerful and expressive coffee, its hint of Robusta rounds out its taste without bitterness. The Italian blend is a perfect combination of strength and finesse, and is equally enjoyable in the morning or at the end of a good meal.
Single-origin whole bean coffees
Harvested according to the tradition of the country where they are grown, single-origin whole bean coffees offer incredible flavors from all corners of the globe.
- Among the great African vintages are the essential Ethiopian Mochas with their tangy and intense flavor, which are particularly intended for espresso machine owners.
- More acidic than Ethiopian Mochas, the royal vintage of East Africa, pure single-origin Arabica from Kenya, appeals to lovers of strong coffees. It is perfect for adding the finishing touch to a good meal.
- Arabica lovers will undoubtedly appreciate the tangy, even acidic, notes of coffees from the Tarrazu region in Costa Rica.
- Pure Arabica harvested in the plantations of the Mexican highlands, Liquidambar, one of the best Maragogype whole bean coffees. It is appreciated by coffee lovers who combine sweetness with a developed body. Slightly acidic, with a low caffeine content, this gourmet coffee offers a delicate aroma and flavor in the mouth, combining subtle notes of apple, honey, and chocolate.
- Single-origin whole bean coffee from Colombia is a classic appreciated by coffee lovers for its subtle and slightly acidic taste, fruity aroma, and soft body.
Whether one prefers 100% Arabica coffees, blends of Robusta and Arabica, or Italian blends, nothing beats whole bean coffee to fully restore its aroma, freshness, and flavors, making coffee tasting a true moment of pleasure.
