Specialized in
the special

Less than 5% of the annual world coffee harvest are rare specialty coffees.
A seasonal selection of these precious and special Arabica coffees we roast for you
fresh and gently by hand.

Various factors such as the cultivation of the coffee plant, the variety and the roasting are decisive for the quality of specialty coffee. The best known are the two varieties Arabica (coffea arabica) and Robusta (coffea canephora). However, the best quality can only be achieved with pure Arabica coffees. The complex aromas of the Arabica varieties are unique and vary depending on the variety.

Our quality promise

For the sourcing of our coffees, we have defined our own quality principles. They describe the criteria we consider when selecting our coffees and working with our partners. These include clear requirements for our coffees, the careful selection of our green coffee beans, and direct, long-term collaboration with our partners. Our quality principles serve as a framework for how we select and source our coffees.

Trusted Trade is the term we use to describe the quality-oriented and trustworthy sourcing of our green coffees from the various growing regions. Our closest confidants or we ourselves visit the farm or the cooperative to taste and select the coffee on site after the harvest. Through this direct relationship, we maintain contact and exchange with all relevant partners such as coffee farmers or cooperative representatives. We benefit from quality control from the moment of cultivation and the farmers from fair prices that are far above the world market level.

A microlot is a specialty coffee that is only available in very small quantities and is often referred to as a community or single producer lot. Often, only a few bags are available for sale, sourced from smallholder farms. These coffees are grown under the best microclimatic conditions so that the plants can develop outstanding flavor profiles. The proportion of microlots in our range is very high, especially in the filter coffees and Seasonal Espressi. For this reason, our offer changes regularly.

The meaning Single Origin stands for the origin of the coffee from a single growing region. Our coffees are basically rated as Single Origin. We know the exact origin of our coffees and control this information to ultimately make it available to our customers. In this way, we want to create a greater awareness of the people who are responsible for the valuable work involved in growing and harvesting the coffee. This is an essential difference to conventional coffees, whose origin is often not made transparent.

Quality makes the difference

For our Arabica specialty coffees, we pay prices that are above the respective market or reference prices used as a basis. The actual purchase prices vary depending on the coffee, origin, quality, and harvest.

The basis for the quality of Röststätte coffees is laid in the country of origin. Many factors, such as the type of cultivation, the microclimatic conditions, the laborious harvesting by hand or the different preparation methods of the coffee cherries play a decisive role in the maturation of the high quality of our coffees.
