September coffee box ☕️📦 – Coffees of the month roasted by Holy Bean Coffee Roasters 🇩🇰

Coffees from El Salvador always bring us delicious experiences. You may remember the coconut- pineapple filter by Nømad Coffee Lab&Shop (Spain 🇪🇸) from our April box and more classic-tasting omniroast by Ditta Artigianale (Italy 🇮🇹) from our June box.

This time we bring you a sweet and juicy filter by Holy Bean Coffee Roasters (Denmark 🇩🇰). At the plantation level the beans were treated with attention and care, and at the roastery level Sine found a roast profile that lets all the flavour shine. You just can’t ask for more! 😃

September coffee box ☕️📦 – Coffees of the month roasted by MABO Coffee Roasters 🇷🇴

This month you have a great opportunity to compare two beautiful coffees from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 – one roasted by Holy Bean Coffee Roasters and the other by MABO Coffee Roasters.

They come from the same region, but they are different varieties (Mixed Heirloom / Kurume) and they went through different processes (washed / honey).

We enjoy them a lot. The one roasted by MABO Coffee Roasters is an omniroast and works great both for all brewing methods 😃 Espresso made with these beans is an absolute flavour shot in your mouth, you must give it a try!

Full info about this coffee:
Country: Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Region: Guji
Producer: Tesfaye Bekele
Washing station: Suke Quto
Growing altitude: 1,800 – 2,200 masl

When you think Romania you probably think Transylvania, castles and nature. But do you also think “great specialty coffee”? Now you probably will!

This beautiful country is home to several roasting champions, one of them being Bogdan Georgescu, 2019 World Coffee Roasting Vice-Champion 🥈 He is the person behind Mabó and he roasted the coffee you have in your box! 😃

As he says, he’s “an IT guy with lots of passion for coffee” 🤓💻☕ He started his adventure as home barista and roaster about 7 years ago. During the following years he was getting better and better at roasting, which gave him great results in coffee roasting championships on national and international level 🏆

We had a chance to try Mabó coffee for the first time only some weeks ago and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to share it with you in our final box! 😃

Tip: whenever you want to stop for a good coffee in Romania, you can find Mabó guys at their shop in Str. Vulturilor 31, Bucharest. That's the magic place where Bogdan performs his miracles 🧞

In our latest episode we speak with Jola and Agata, from the green coffee importers 88 Graines.

We learn a lot about:
- the work of a high quality green coffee importer
- living in Guatemala and creating relationships with local farmers
- the community work Jola and Agata are involved in

Listen up for all this and much more!
