African Blend
African Blend
From CHF 14.30 / 350g

Introducing our new African Blend! We know how much our customers appreciate our blends at ViCAFE and this inspired us to create a new high-quality blend from three East African countries: Tanzania, Ethiopia and Uganda. The African Blend combines the fruity, floral and chocolate flavors that are so typical of these three regions. It is best enjoyed as an espresso-based drink, or ideal for a French Press too.

Brazil Campo das Vertentes
Brazil Campo das Vertentes
From CHF 13.00 / 350g

We developed this coffee specifically for the ViCAFE at Work channel. In addition to the terroir, the slightly darker roast reduces acidity and adds more body. This coffee is particularly well-suited for fully automatic machines. The beans are easy to work with and allow for the extraction of a sweet, well-rounded coffee with clear chocolate notes. Whether enjoyed with milk or black, this coffee is smooth and balanced—something many appreciate. The beans come from Campo das Vertentes, a region in Minas Gerais, Brazil, north of São Paulo. In a country dominated by agro-industrial farms, we prioritize working with small, sustainable farmers. That’s why we collaborate with carefully selected family farms, which we visit regularly.

India Yellikodige Estate Demeter

In 2022, we met a fine group of young men from Yellikodige for the first time in the Chikmagalur region of India. We fondly remember them sitting in their cupping lab and explaining to us that they are determined to reverse climate change in the mountains of the Western Ghats by mobilizing young coffee farmers in the region and introducing more biodynamic farming methods. It sounds ambitious. However, the more time we spent with them, the more we believed that they could do it, and we wanted to be a part of their journey.
