Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

About This Coffee

This microlot from Sítio Canaã is produced in the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil, at elevations between 1200 and 1350 meters. The coffee is of the Arara variety and is processed using natural drying on raised beds at the Serra dos Ciganos community mill. The cooler conditions at this altitude allow for slower cherry maturation, which contributes to the coffee's structure and sweetness. This coffee is roasted for espresso preparation.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
