BRAZIL - Brazil Espresso

The Schön family moved from Munich to the village of Burgebrach near Bamberg in 2016, founding their specialty roastery the following year to realize a long held dream. They roast on a Probat P05 III with batch sizes ranging from three to six kilograms, sourcing all green coffee through small importers rather than wholesalers or middlemen, and only accepting beans that meet specialty cupping score standards. Transparency is central to their identity: as members of The Pledge, they publish purchasing prices and quantities on their website, inviting scrutiny of their sourcing ethics. Their packaging reflects the same values, using ecological Öko Line materials from the Ströbel company, crafted in Germany from kraft paper without aluminum. Schön Kaffee roasts several times a week with a philosophy of preserving the natural aromas of each bean, recommending consumption within two months of the roast date for optimal flavor.
