The coffee is cultivated chemical-free and in harmony with nature. It is a Castillo variety processed using the natural method. The coffee features a flavor profile of cherry, walnut, and red wine. This is a lighter roast, gently roasted and fruity-clear, making it ideal for hand-brewed filter coffee and slow brew methods.

Maillardos

A married couple from two coffee worlds built this roastery: Uriel from the Swiss German town of Rheineck and Raquel from San Jose, Costa Rica. The name pays tribute to Louis Camille Maillard (1878–1936), the scientist behind the Maillard reaction responsible for the complex aromas that develop during roasting. What started as a crowdfunded show roastery has grown into a certified organic operation (CH Bio 086) with a dedicated production facility in Altenrhein, where a Loring roaster runs on 100% regional biogas. Every batch is roasted for 8 to 16 minutes under close supervision, with Cropster software and regular tastings ensuring consistency and continuous improvement. Maillardos sources traceable coffees from smaller producers, paying well above commodity exchange prices, and packages everything in fully recyclable materials.
