The Eastern Highlands is a mountainous province encompassing the Kratke and Bismarck ranges interspersed with broad valleys including where this coffee is grown, the Okapa valley. It is the leading producer of coffee in the country, and the Highland Organic Agriculture Cooperative (HOAC) is one of the oldest Faritrade Certified organizations in Oceania. They were originally registered in 2003, certified in 2005 and now comprise of around 3000 small holder producers spread across 32 village communities spread over 500 km2. The premium earned has been spent on providing fresh water for 11 of these communities, as well as helping with infrastructure such as roads which makes a huge difference given the isolation of the villages. Coffee is grown mainly by smallholders in ‘gardens’ – a small plot of land that contains everything from a few trees up to a three-hectare plot at most. Trees here can be 25 years or older, and in general trees in the country are a lot older than you typically find in other countries. This often leads to lower yields and so less productivity on the farms. Once picked coffee is pulped, it is then dry fermented for 24 hours in wooden or plastic boxes before being washed and dried on sails – stretched tarpaulin drying beds – or raised beds. This is covered at night to protect from any effects of dew. Coffee is then collected and taken to a centralized dry mill in Goroka for sorting, cleaning and exporting the coffee. Most varietals were introduced to the country in the 1950’s from African and Australian research stations, though coffee is first recorded in PNG in 1873, and was growing in the Rabaul Botanical Gardens by 1890, but was not grown in Simbu until the 1960’s. More confusingly, French Missionaries planted coffee in the Kilimanjaro area in the 1890’s and you sometimes see that given as thesource for Arusha. This has assumed to be from a Bourbon heritage, though other countries have had coffee tested from this lineage and had that proven to be of Typica lineage. This coffee has tasting notes of dried fruits, vanilla and smoky with natural brightness. This coffee shares the low-toned richness of coffees from neighboring Indonesia, but is particularly sturdy, dense, and crisply robust. This is a coffee that should maintain authority in the face of enthusiastic additions of whitener and sweetener.

The mintiest mint of all time, this is a stand out peppermint. A real favourite amongst teapigs.

Cajamarca, nestled in the north of Peru, is a region renowned for its breathtaking mountainous landscapes and thriving coffee production. The majestic peaks of the Andes Mountains adorn the horizon, creating a stunning backdrop for this vibrant department. But it's not just the mountains that capture the imagination; Cajamarca is also celebrated for its rich coffee heritage. In recent years, it has emerged as the largest coffee-producing region in Peru, with picturesque coffee farms dotting its highland terrain. The combination of its awe-inspiring natural beauty and the aroma of freshly grown coffee make Cajamarca a true gem of South America. La Danta is a blend of coffees produced in the highlands of San Ignacio and Jaen in Cajamarca. The blend is named after the Andean Tapir, also known as the mountain Danta. In Quechua,"sacha huagra" means "mountain Danta." The Andean tapir, an endangered herbivore, is commonly found roaming the Andes, especially in northern Cajamarca. La Danta represents, for Caravela and the community, a more conscious coffee-producing culture that prioritizes nature and coexistence with it. The producers who contribute to this brand recognize and believe that by always prioritizing nature, they add greater value to coffee and its surroundings. The farmers who contribute to La Danta have learned about coffee through generations, with some of the farms being established by their grandparents in 1980, dedicated from the beginning to coffee production. Over the generations, they have been motivated to seek quality coffee, observing how the market has evolved, as many of them initially started selling conventional coffee. In recent years, they have improved their processing techniques and facilities and have adopted new coffee varieties, leading to enhanced quality and better prices.  The newer generations have begun attending works-hops, searching for information online, and seeking advice from seasoned and experienced neighbors to refine their processes. They consistently value the resources generated within their own farms and manage them appropriately. The producers receive personalized visits from the PECA Educators and attend workshops to produce organic fertilizers using organic waste from the farm. This approach has helped producers become more conscious of their environmental impact. This lot features juicy notes of blackberry, blueberry, and chocolate. We loved the sweet aftertaste, which is accompanied by a medium high acidity.  Origin: Peru Region: Cajamarca District: San Ignacio, Jaen Community: Miraflores Altitude: 1500-1900 MASL Varieties: Caturra, Catimor, Bourbon Harvest: May-September Processing: Washed, 12–18 hour fermentation in cement tanks Drying: 15–20 days on solar dryers      

The RIDE is characterized by the fact that both the coffee and steam boilers are heated simultaneously. This allows the steam temperature to be reached much faster, ensuring a more stable steam performance during espresso extraction. Optionally, the RIDE can also be used as a single-boiler machine. With the Fast Heat-Up mode activated, the machine is ready to use much faster. Regardless, the temperatures of both boilers can be individually adjusted via the PID control. The RIDE also offers you the option of programming automatic switch-on and switch-off times and much more. These settings are displayed on the subtle screen, along with the shot timer. The modular, bottomless portafilter can be quickly and easily converted with silicone attachments (1 spout and 2 spouts). This not only saves space but also allows for easy and hygienic cleaning. And then there's the look: The elegant matt black side panels stand out in contrast to the satin-finished front, the cup tray, and the silver drip tray. The pressure gauges harmonize with the display and round off the appearance. The RIDE Exclusive Line, featuring a matt black housing, black pressure gauges and handcrafted walnut handles is available exclusively from selected specialist dealers who sell our products regionally and guarantee optimal instruction in using our machines.
