Jolly Roger (organic espresso), 250g
“Write your will!” …that was the mood when the “Jolly Roger”, the pirate flag, appeared on the horizon! Wild fellows of all different backgrounds sailed on the pirate ships.
Our JOLLY ROGER also comes from very different corners, ready to invade your palate.
It contains 50% Marsellesa from Marcala/Honduras, 30% Pacamara from the border region with El Salvador (also Honduras) and 20% Catuai and Typica from Mexico.
Together 100% best Arabica espresso – sailed almost 7300 nautical miles.
- Roasting level: 8 out of 11
- Body: 7 of 11
- Sweetness: 5 out of 11
- Fruitiness: 4 out of 11
The taste: strong, but not bitter. The key words: nougat, grapefruit and hazelnut.
Our Jolly Roger prefers to be brewed in a fully automatic machine, a stovetop jug or a portafilter.
Origin:
80% coffee beans from Honduras! - this proportion comes from the Marcala/La Paz coffee region, famous for its wonderful soil. The high proportion of the Marsellesa variety is interesting. This Arabica variety is rather untypical for Honduras - it is often found in Nicaragua. It has a natural resistance to coffee rust, a fungus that attacked many coffee plants in Central America in 2011/12 and destroyed the livelihoods of many families.
Some coffee farmers from our partner cooperative Combrifol only grow Marsellesa. This includes Lorenza Nicolas, who we profile on our “Origin” page.
The Mexican portion of this espresso comes from the Oaxaca region, more precisely from the Sierra Mixe Zapateco in the south of the country. The Union de Productores Campesinos Tierra Indigena Zapoteca (UPCTIZ) cooperative represents around 15 villages that have been cultivating the same land for decades - for generations. The trade in quality coffee is tough. In Mexico in particular, many coffees from large plantations are of inferior (but cheaper) quality.
Our coffee producers have been growing organic coffee for many years – and we give them a price that will enable them to live and develop further in the future.
