The coffee assortment

To this day, the Arabica beans used come from the Schwegler family's own farm in Peru, as well as from a neighboring cooperative. Tropical Mountains now not only offers its own coffee, but also combines it with an exquisite selection of gourmet coffees from all over the world, which also meet the highest quality standards.

The FairTrade and organic-certified coffee beans are gently and slowly roasted in Switzerland to preserve their unique aromas. Whether strong and spicy 

One of the bestsellers is the popular "Mafioso" - an aromatic espresso with notes of hazelnut, chocolate and subtle fruit nuances. It is available both as a coffee bean and in the form of E.S.E. pods for practical preparation at home.

For lovers of a strong espresso, we recommend the "Robusto" with a 60% Robusta content from Tanzania. It impresses with its full-bodied taste and intense aromas of nuts, earth and dark chocolate.

Organic cultivation

Tropical Mountains coffees are grown organically, which means that no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used. This contributes to the preservation of the environment and the health of the coffee farmers.

Home-compostable capsules without aluminum

The coffee capsules for the Nespresso system are made from starch, plant cellulose and lignin (a by-product of paper production). They are therefore completely home-compostable and contain no aluminum, which makes them more environmentally friendly than conventional capsules.

With these capsules, Tropical Mountains is offering the first climate-neutral coffee capsules in Europe. The CO2 emissions from production are offset.

Like all coffees, the coffees for the coffee capsules come from the Schwegler family's own organic farm in Peru or are purchased directly from certified coffee farmers worldwide. By the way: after use, the capsules can simply be disposed of in your own compost or organic waste garbage can.

The ESE pads from Tropical Mountains

For practical preparation at home, we recommend the E.S.E pods from Tropical Mountains. They guarantee a perfect coffee experience at the touch of a button and are available in different varieties.

The ESE pods are packed in resealable bags, which preserves the freshness of the coffee. They are also not individually packaged, which reduces waste and is more environmentally friendly. Incidentally, this form of filling is gaining more and more friends!

The commitment to sustainability

What sets Tropical Mountains apart from other manufacturers is its holistic sustainability concept. Tropical Mountains is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization and supports social projects in Peru, among other things. All packaging is made from recyclable materials and follows the principle of "zero waste". Tropical Mountains therefore also offsets CO2 emissions along the value chain.

The Schweglers' actions are always based on the belief that respect for our employees, the coffee plant and nature has a positive influence on the taste of the coffee.

Tropical Mountains: Fair coffee from Peru

The history of Tropical Mountains began in 2012, when Thomas Schwegler and Gisella Iriarte-Schwegler founded the Tropical Mountains Farm. In addition to growing certified organic coffee, they are involved in social projects such as building a village school. Quality is the top priority at Tropical Mountains.All their varieties score over 80 out of a possible 100 points according to the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA).

The coffee from Tropical Mountains is grown sustainably and organically. The focus is not only on nature, but also on people. The coffee comes directly from their farm or from their organic and fair trade certified partners. The Tropical Mountains family is constantly growing, but its values remain unchanged.

Tropical Mountains takes an environmentally friendly approach by avoiding aluminum and plastic in their packaging. Their coffee pods are even compostable. At Tropical Mountains, they remain true to their roots: organic cultivation, direct fair trade and sustainable packaging. As a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), they support local schools and fund charitable projects. At Tropical Mountains, they firmly believe that respect influences taste. Respect for their employees, the coffee plant and nature as a whole. For this reason, they also offset the CO2 emissions from their entire value chain.
