Café Michel – Organic Bolivian Coffee Beans
This coffee from Bolivia is a 100% Arabica from organic farming and certified fair trade (SPP label). It is particularly well-balanced: round and slightly acidic, it offers subtle notes of red fruits. Why I like it: Beyond its strong commitment to producers, Café Michel is a SCOP really committed to organic farming. Yet this work is never in spite of the taste. This coffee, with a monk’s robe roasting, offers an excellent result with my piston coffee maker.

3 – Award-Winning Coffee
Terres de Café – Colombia Bourbon South Huila
Second prize epucien 2019, this blend of Colombian Arabicas is a perfectly successful and balanced blend in terms of flavor notes. Roasted in France, this Bourbon South Huila coffee offers us a complex, pure and juicy cup with notes of flowers, tea and citrus. A silky body supported by a magnificent mineral tension. Why I like it: This specialty coffee (it is rated 88/100) can seem a bit complex at first. I was able to test it in espresso and in the gentle method. It is quite versatile, but I prefer it in Method V60 (Dripper) to bring out the mango and black currant notes. One of my favorites among the coffees for Slow Coffee.
