ABOUT US

 

WHO ARE WE?

 

We are coffee enthusiasts in love with the aromas and tastes of coffee, who constantly seek to perfect the original recipe in response to demand and to improve the taste and aroma to meet the changing needs of the consumer. Our success can be traced back to several factors, from the personal enthusiasm and commitment of the roasting plant owner, careful selection of the best raw ingredients, technologically advanced manufacturing machines and a completely automated manufacturing line, to the high standards of quality, which remain constant throughout the entire process.

SEPTEMBER 2021

The company has seen a growing desire of consumers for organic products that are produced without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. So we decided to offer organic coffee to the market. Certified organic coffee is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the preservation of soil and water quality for a healthier natural environment.

 

For this purpose, we have obtained the ORGANIC / BIO / ECO certificate, which allows us to prepare the best blends of organically grown coffee under strict supervision.
