Rast Coffee Apas, Brazil

Discover a piece of Brazilian coffee culture with Rast Apas coffee. This single origin from the south of Minas Gerais not only brings an aromatic experience to your cup, but also stands for fairness, transparency and sustainability. APAS unites the passion of 60 small producers who are fully committed to quality and fair trade.

In the cup, Apas impresses with its complex interplay of flavours. You can expect an aroma of tart floral and nutty notes. Dark chocolate and liquorice unfold on the palate, giving the coffee depth and character. Its full body and natural processing give you a harmonious, long-lasting flavour experience.

Rast Apas coffee is particularly versatile. As a café crème, its aromatic balance comes into its own, while as an espresso it delights with its intensity and fine flavour. It is less suitable for preparation in a filter, as the strong flavours are somewhat less pronounced in the balance. It unfolds its full potential with a portafilter machine or in a fully automatic machine.

This coffee is backed by the Associaçao dos Produtores do Alto da Serra (APAS). This FAIR TRADE association, based in the district of Ferreiras in the south of Minas Gerais, emphasises quality, transparency and fair conditions. The altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 metres, the balanced climate and the fertile soils create ideal conditions for coffees with excellent SCA scores of over 80 points.

Apas consists of the Catuai, Mundo Nuevo and Tupi varieties, which have been processed naturally. The harvest period is between July and September 2024. With certificates such as organic, Fairtrade and direct trade, this coffee shows that top quality and social responsibility go hand in hand. So you not only enjoy excellent flavour, but also support producers who do their work with passion and respect for people and nature.
