Bourbon coffee beans, grown at an altitude of 1,860 metres by Victor Calderon, representing the fifth generation of coffee growers. Since taking over in 2001, the farm has often faced leaf rust, a common challenge for coffee plants. Committed to preserving the ecosystem, only environmentally friendly methods are used, including natural clay from this former mining site to care for the trees.

Italian Coffee Beans, LE PIANTAGIONI DEL CAFFE
Le Piantagioni Del Caffè is a family-run company spanning four generations since its creation in 1994. The Italian brand has made a lasting impression by acting as a true pioneer, building direct relationships with small-scale producers and introducing the concept of “origin” in specialty coffee.
It has also stood out by making specialty coffee more accessible, with a more relaxed and playful approach. Its “Specialty People Blends” range is colourful, engaging, and easy to explore for both coffee enthusiasts and newcomers alike. All coffees are crafted from single-origin beans, sometimes blended to create unique profiles, delivering transparency and exceptional quality in every cup.
To ensure a consistently high-quality tasting experience, the brand has developed its own protocol to analyse and score coffees after roasting. Their goal is to offer coffees suited to Specialty Coffee, supported by a dedicated, cutting-edge software. While not a universal standard, this system allows them to maintain strict quality control, especially for espresso.

Le Piantagioni Del Caffè
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
