Maya Key Organic and Fairtrade Coffee Beans 1kg

A stunning blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee with an earthy but sweet aroma, with notes of chocolate, berries and citrus fruit. This coffee is ideal for those who like milkier drinks, while satisfying those who like an espresso with plenty of body. Our Maya Key Blend is one of our Limited Edition ‘Noble Star’ blends; this coffee is both Organically and Fairtrade Certified, from the Chalmeca Community in the Arcadia Copan region of Honduras and the Rahmet Kinara cooperative in Sumatra. This is a fully washed and clean coffee; the slow roast allows for full flavour development. In the cup you can expect to experience a pleasant acidity of a citrus nature and a lower body as a result. The espresso roast provides a complex espresso with stone fruit layers and a smooth finish; you can expect high tactile sweetness with a pleasant acidity. A coffee blossom aroma with a slight cedar-like finish on the palate can be experienced when brewed as a pour over or filter coffee. This Is a good earthy espresso as well, which cuts through milk. This fantastic coffee is blended from 100% SHG Arabica Fairtrade and Organic coffee beans from the Chalmeca Community in the Arcadia Copan region of Honduras. SHG (Strictly High Grown) specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude around 1200 meters above sea level; this harvest is also European Preparation. At this altitude, the lower temperature produces a slower maturing fruit and a denser bean, which is considered more desirable. We have also blended in 20% Fairtrade and Organic Robusta from the Rahmet Kinara cooperative in Sumatra, which adds wonderful body to this blend. Every cup of coffee you drink helps the communities in the Cocafcal and Capucas Limitada Cooperatives in Hondura and the Rahmet Kinara Cooperative in Sumatra. They are 100% Organic, 100% Fairtrade and 50% Rainforest Alliance certified. A further ethical premium of 5% of the price of a tonne of green coffee is also paid. In addition, all our coffees also support the Msia School Project in Tanzania.
