Rest Coffee Matinilla, Costa Rica

Pure Costa Rica. This coffee brings the Costa Rican sunshine straight into your cup. Matinilla from Rast Kaffee delights with fine floral notes, accompanied by a refreshing grapefruit nuance and a delicate pistachio flavour. A coffee that will surprise you anew with every sip. Matinilla is a pure Arabica from the Heredia region. It seduces with a floral aroma and a sweet apricot flavour. It unfolds on the palate in a multi-layered way: floral freshness, subtle grapefruit and fine pistachios combine to create an elegant and harmonious flavour experience. Whether as a mild espresso or as a perfectly balanced café crème - this coffee shows its strengths in both variants. It also offers exciting nuances when prepared as a filter coffee, although it is most convincing as a café crème. Matinilla is produced by the traditional Coopelibertad R.L., a cooperative that has been supporting small farmers in Costa Rica since 1961. The members cultivate their fields in the Central Valley using sustainable methods and mainly cultivate Caturra and Catuaí varieties. With this coffee, they honour the Matinilla micro-region and the people who have been passionately growing coffee there for generations. The Matinilla beans come from the 2024 harvest and are fully washed. Coopelibertad R.L. focuses on the highest quality and social commitment - a coffee that not only impresses with its flavour, but also with its history. Ideal for anyone who appreciates special flavour and responsible cultivation.

Rast Coffee Herminio Organic - Fairtrade certified organic coffee of premium quality.
CHF 9,30 250 g
Rast Kaffee Herminio, Guatemala

Lass dich von einem Kaffee begeistern, der nicht nur im Geschmack, sondern auch in seiner Herkunft überzeugt. Der Rast Kaffee Herminio aus Guatemala vereint das Beste aus Bio-Anbau, Fairtrade-Handel und leidenschaftlicher Handarbeit von Kleinbauern. Ein Kaffee, der durch Qualität, Transparenz und Charakter glänzt – und von unabhängigen Q-Gradern mit Gold ausgezeichnet wurde. In der Tasse entfaltet der Herminio eine harmonische Balance aus feinen Zitrusnoten, Anklängen von Früchtetee und einem runden Geschmack nach Nussschokolade. Sein Duft erinnert an eine zarte Kombination von Orange und Nuss. Damit bietet er ein aromatisches Erlebnis, das gleichzeitig elegant und überraschend vielschichtig wirkt. Der Herminio zeigt seine Stärken vor allem als Filterkaffee, wo sich seine klaren, fruchtigen Nuancen am besten entfalten. Auch als Café Crème überzeugt er mit einer aromatischen Tiefe und einer angenehm süssen Note. Für Espresso ist er weniger geeignet, da seine feine Säure und die leichten Aromen dort nicht ihre volle Wirkung entfalten. Hinter dem Herminio steht die Organisation FECCEG, ein Zusammenschluss von 14 landwirtschaftlichen Genossenschaften in Guatemala. Mehr als 1'750 Bauernfamilien – darunter 550 Bäuerinnen – produzieren gemeinsam Bio- und Fairtrade-Kaffee. Einer von ihnen ist Herminio Castro, der diesem Kaffee seinen Namen gibt. Die Organisation unterstützt die Bauern mit nachhaltigen Methoden, Qualitätssicherung und fairen Handelsstrukturen. Die Bohnen stammen aus der Region San Marcos, genauer aus der Nähe von Corral Grande, und wachsen in Höhenlagen, die ideale Bedingungen für Arabica-Kaffee bieten. Die Varietäten Bourbon und Pache Común werden gewaschen aufbereitet und unter höchsten Bio-Standards kultiviert. Der Herminio ist ein Kaffee mit Herkunft, Herz und hohem Anspruch – ein Genuss für alle, die Wert auf Geschmack und Verantwortung legen.

With the Women Nantic Altos, you will experience a coffee that not only delights with its flavour, but also tells a powerful story. This single origin from Chiapas combines intense berry flavours with cocoa and fresh orange zest - a vibrant pleasure that is also a symbol of women's power in coffee growing. The aroma of this coffee is sweet and characterised by berries. Complex flavours of cocoa and orange zest unfold in the cup, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and depth.

Women Nantic Altos is best enjoyed as an espresso or café crème - both preparations bring out its fruity and chocolaty flavours to the full (3/3). It is less suitable for filter preparation, as its strong profile loses expression here. Whether pure or with a dash of milk - this coffee remains an exciting experience. Behind the Women Nantic Altos is a committed cooperative of 102 women in Chiapas who are campaigning for more equality in coffee cultivation. They are custodians of traditional knowledge and take responsibility for their communities - especially in times when many men have migrated to the cities. They are passionate about cultivating the Typica, Bourbon and Caturra varieties in the high altitudes of Los Altos de Chiapas, thus contributing to greater diversity and equal opportunities in the coffee trade. The Women Nantic Altos is washed and harvested by hand between December and March. Certified as an organic and Fairtrade project, this coffee not only stands for outstanding quality, but also for social responsibility. Every cup supports the empowerment of women in coffee farming - and makes your coffee enjoyment part of a larger movement.

This unique Bourbon Pointu variety is grown in tiny quantities on the island of La Réunion. Only 830 kg per year can call themselves Grand Cru - a coffee that is considered one of the best Arabicas in the world. Laurina impresses with its exceptionally fine interplay of flavours. In the cup, floral and citrus-like aromas unfold, accompanied by nuances of exotic lychee, fine spices and fine cocoa. The body is balanced and elegant, the acidity finely integrated. The speciality: At just 0.6 %, its caffeine content is well below average - perfect if you want to enjoy an intense experience without excessive stimulation. This coffee is versatile and unfolds its full potential particularly as a café crème or filter coffee. For espresso, it offers a rather fine, subtly nuanced flavour experience. Whether in a portafilter machine, a fully automatic machine or as a pour-over - Laurina always has a clear, round and long-lasting finish. Laurina comes from the "Domaine des Caféiers" estate in Saint-Paul on La Réunion. Martine and Mongi Sliti have made it their mission to revitalise the almost forgotten Bourbon Pointu. They run the only certified organic coffee farm in the European Union, specialising exclusively in this variety. They are passionate and dedicated to preserving this cultural heritage. The Bourbon Pointu, also known as Coffea arabica cv. laurina, is a rare mutation of the Arabica plant. Its small, tapered beans and dwarf growth make it unique. Originally famous in the 18th century, the variety was almost forgotten due to natural disasters and the cultivation of sugar cane. It has been enjoying a renaissance on La Réunion since 2008. Today, it is not only regarded as the best Arabica in the world, but also as a synonym for elegance, exclusivity and a culture of enjoyment.

What makes Rast Kaffee particularly good

Rast Kaffee stands for uncompromising freshness and outstanding quality. Every order is only roasted after it is received - so your coffee is guaranteed to arrive freshly roasted. With over 50 single-origin and plantation coffees, the roastery offers a variety that is unrivalled.

Its multiple awards, including the title of "Roaster of the Year" in Switzerland, are proof of its high standards. Long-standing partnerships with coffee farmers, regular visits to the countries of origin and close ties to the craft make the difference tangible - and palatable.

How and what Rast Kaffee roasts

In Ebikon, the master roasters roast each bean according to an individual roasting profile that is perfectly matched to its origin and characteristics. The coffee passes through precisely controlled steps on modern drum roasters: from homogenisation and drying to the aroma phase and final roasting.

For filter coffee, the lighter roasts end after the first crack in order to emphasise fruity notes. Café Crème roasts develop tart flavours and a full body through longer drumming times. Espresso roasts become darker, reducing acidity and emphasising intense roasted aromas. Each batch is sensory tested and documented in the roasting protocol.

Sustainability

At Rast Kaffee, sustainability is more than just a buzzword - it is our corporate philosophy. The roastery favours long-term, fair relationships with producers, supports sustainable cultivation methods and pays attention to short, transparent supply chains.

When travelling to the countries of origin, quality, prices and growing conditions are discussed directly with the farmers. In production in Switzerland, Rast also pays attention to resource-conserving processes, modern energy efficiency and packaging that ensures freshness and minimises environmental impact. The result is coffee that not only tastes great, but also leaves you with a good feeling.
