Horizonte

Sweet, very creamy and full-bodied with little acidityRobusta coffee beans have twice the caffeine content of Arabica beans because they grow at lower altitudes. With their increased caffeine content, they defend themselves against potential pests which are more prevalent at this altitude. Horizonte searched for the right bean for a long time and tested many different blends until they were finally convinced by the ratio of 50% Leal and 50% Robusta. The result offers the best of both worlds: It is a balanced, strong, sweet, very creamy and big-bodied with little acidity, making it ideal for the classic espresso drinker. The flavours are chocolate, dried fruits and earthy tones. This blend tastes particularly good even if you don't quite follow the perfect extraction time/ratio.Christoph Sauser's path to his company, Horizonte Coffee Roasters, is more like a winding mountain path than a predictable tarmac road. During his 20-year career as one of the world's best mountain bikers, Sauser won bronze at the Olympic Games, two World Cup overall titles, four World Championship titles and the Cape Epic mountain bike stage race five times. Sauser's path from professional cyclist to coffee roaster was paved by the same curiosity and quest for perfection. Drinking coffee is just one (incredibly pleasurable) part of a large and rich coffee culture. With Horizonte Coffee Roasters, you experience and taste all of that.

Slightly darker roast. A coffee with a strong body and fine acidity, with hints of orange highlighted by brown sugar and nutty flavours. All in all, a well-rounded espresso of the highest quality. To find a small coffee farm like Luz Amanda Ospina's, you have to be lucky. A true gem of a specialty coffee from the remote mountains of Anserma in Colombia. Amanda Ospina and her husband Horacio run the farm, which was bought by Horacio's brother in 1979. The couple has two daughters and two sons: one of the sons helps on the farm; the other children are still at school or studying.During the main harvest season, the family employs four other coffee pickers. Luz Amanda Ospina recently invested in a small indoor drying system so that they can dry the coffee even during longer rainy periods and are not so dependent on dry weather.This coffee has been named "Leal" - which means "loyal" in Spanish - because Horizonte Roasters are keen to remain loyal to such outstanding coffee producers as Luz Amanda Ospina.Christoph Sauser's path to his company Horizonte Coffee Roasters resembles a winding mountain path rather than a predictable tarmac road.
