This single origin espresso has flavors of chocolate, caramel and sweet plum. The coffee comes from a long-term partnership with the farmers in the Bob-o-link project in Brazil.
5 kronor per kilo we sell we invest in the project ‘For a healthy soil’ together with FAF Coffees.
The initiators of Bob-o-link are the Croce family, who have been running the farm Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza since 2001. They have since transformed the old family farm into a model farm when it comes to sustainable farming methods. FAF Coffees today includes a network of farmers, a center for coffee studies and an export company that ships coffee all over the world.
The family realized that even if they did everything in their power to improve the environment around them, it would have very little effect if their neighbors continued as before. Therefore, they decided to try to extend their philosophy to the producers in the area. The Bob-o-link bird, whose livelihood and migration patterns were threatened by deforestation, one-sided soybean and corn plantations, became a symbol that something had to be done.
The result is “Bob-o-link Coffees”, a network of producers who all have the ambition to produce high-quality coffee in harmony with nature. These farms are located in the mountainous Mogiana region (states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais), at altitudes ranging from 900 to 1400 m above sea level, and grow varieties such as Bourbon, Mundo Novo and Catuai. Most of the farms are small and run by one family and are located on the tops of the mountains, the perfect environment for growing coffee! The berries are then selectively picked by hand and dried on terraces next to their homes.
Growing coffee sustainably means, among other things, excluding all types of environmentally hazardous substances, creating “green corridors” for wildlife and preserving all water sources in the area. They also grow more types of plants including banana, avocado, mango and passion fruit to, together with the already rich surrounding forest, create a natural cycle and a rich fauna. Both for the sake of the animals, but also to create an ecosystem that naturally minimizes the need to protect the coffee trees.
FAF helps producers with training in harvesting techniques, pruning and drying, but also financial assistance if needed. The network is getting bigger every year, as more producers see the benefits that come with the work. Both for nature, and also because they get better pay for their coffee, which also creates sustainability for the families.
The coffee comes directly to us at the roastery in Länna without intermediaries and is then roasted gently. The experienced coffee drinker will find notes of chocolate, butterscotch and sweet plums. Everyone else will enjoy a richly sweet and delicious cup of espresso both with and without milk.
We at J&N have been buying coffee from the Croce Family since 2010 and the relationship we have with Marcos, Filipe and Silvia is exactly in line with our purchasing philosophy. It is therefore no coincidence that we choose to launch this limited edition espresso with a Direct Trade stamp on the front.
