About This Coffee

A honey-processed single-origin coffee from Costa Rica, sourced from Cerro Los Vindas. During processing, 80% of the mucilage was retained around the beans during drying, which lasted six days. After drying, the beans were stored for two months and sorted by size, density, and weight. It features a classic Costa Rican flavor profile with notable sweetness characteristic of the honey process. Available in filter and light espresso roast preparations.

Hoppenworth & Ploch

Hoppenworth & Ploch started as a campus café at Frankfurt University in 2008 and has since grown into one of the city's most respected specialty coffee roasteries. Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants. Their stated mission: pushing toward a fairer, friendlier, and more sustainable food and hospitality industry.
