3 x 250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans, packed in a gift box with information on each coffee.
Here we present to you our roasters choice of coffee – three very different coffees, all with high drinkability. We want to show you a world of different flavors, and this is why we choose these specific coffees:
Brazil – this is a classic full-bodied coffee, all the best nutty, chocolaty and soft notes are really coming through, and makes it a great start for people who wants to try specialty coffee for the first time.
Costa Rica – with its milk chocolaty notes, this is hopefully something that will make you want to dig further into the specialty coffee scene. It’s more funky than the Brazilian, but still very easy to drink. A tip is to have a soft vanilla cake on the side, it really enhances the flavors.
Colombia – the beloved country with multiple flavor profiles, that never stops surprising us with great coffee beans. This particular one is our latest release of single origins, and it's super elegant and floral. One of our more adventurous coffees in this box!

Everaldo Gonçalves de Siqueira is the name of the producer for this coffee. He started out with just 7 hectares of land that was recieved as a family inheritance in the city of Carmo do Paranaíba. In the beginning there were many obstacles due to a lack of machinery and access to financial resources, but the passion for coffee persisted. Eventually, with the help of his brothers, Everaldo grew the property to 110 hectares across two Fazendas, Santa Cecília and Cachieira. The coffee flowers in October to December and the berries are then harvested in June to August. After that, the berries are undergoing the Natural process, meaning they get to dry on sunbeds before separating the beans from the pulp.

Gilberto and his family of three sons and wife, started their farm by growing short-cycle crops, like corn, beans and avocados, 20 years ago. Then they moved on to coffee by growing 1 hectare of the variaty Caturra. Since about six years back, Gilberto are now growing the variaties Pink Bourbon and Geisha, due to climate change and the fall of prices in coffee. Those variaties are better in quality and flavors with the soil on their farm, so it gives them more stability and has improved the familys income a lot.
