Kafischmitte

100% Arabica from different varieties (Bourbon, Mundo Novo etc.) and different preparation types (Natural, pulped Natural and Pulped Raisin). Year after year, Daterra Coffee supplies what is probably the most important coffee for Kafischmitte's roastery. The coffee that comes from Daterra forms the basis of the gastronomy blends and makes up the largest part of the range. In each case, a chocolaty and relatively mild espresso was selected from their range.In January 2015, the Kafischmitte visited the plantation of Luis Pascoal and his family and spent a few days there. Daterra is not a coffee plantation as you would imagine it. It is very large (Brazil, after all), technologically up-to-date and very innovative. When Luis Pascoal started Daterra, he had nothing to do with coffee. Very quickly, he pioneered the Brazilian coffee market with his innovative thinking and technological advances. For example, Daterra was the first plantation in Brazil to pay its workers a solid pension and social benefits. Of course, the other plantation owners were not just thrilled about this. They had to follow suit, which today actually benefits the whole system.Today, Daterra employs countless workers, offers them accommodation or shuttle buses to and from the plantation. In addition, they can eat for free in the canteen (and the food is great!).Many coffee farmers deal with agronomic problems that your plantation faces. Daterra's agronomists have studied many of these difficulties and have an answer to almost everything. In addition, Daterra conducts a lot of experiments. Every plant on the plantation is known in detail. Some very exotic varieties grow on the plantation, which are also tasted and partly sold as masterpieces. It was impressive to see how organised and structured the work is. Almost Swiss. Daterra is a model plantation in every respect.Kafischmitte, founded in 2009, is a small roastery located in Langnau, Bern. Michal Otte and Roger Wittwer run the roastery on a part-time basis only. Kafischmitte stands out because it is one of the few Swiss roasters that roasts and sells only speciality coffees.

100% Arabica from different varieties (Mundo Novo, Bourbon etc.) and preparation types (washed, honey, natural etc.) Ideally suited for espresso and café crème. La Sinfonía a classic, very sweet, intense espresso and super cappuccino. This is the coffee for every day at home or office communities with fully automatic machines. For those who prefer a little less fruit and more chocolaty flavours.La Sinfonía is the combination and extension of our previous (now discarded) coffees Super Black and Wonder White. This coffee is often served in cafés and restaurants. In addition, La Sinfonía with its chocolaty aromas contrasts with the very fruity La Fruta (our Signature Blend). La Sinfonía is a very consistent coffee in terms of taste, we don't try anything here, we hardly experiment. It consists of 75% chocolatey, mild Daterra Sweet Blue from Brazil and 25% La Fruta. Solid, proven craftsmanship with a lot of experience is what we call it. Yes!Founded in 2009, Kafischmitte is a small roastery located in Langnau, Bern.
