About This Coffee

A limited espresso blend combining the classic flavor components of the Sertao Espresso from Brazil with the sweetness and fruitiness of the Santa Rosa Espresso from Peru. Processed naturally, it offers a nutty-chocolatey base with a pleasant, unobtrusive sweetness. Roasted as a light espresso ("heller Espresso"), it works well as both a straight espresso and in milk-based drinks. Flavor notes include chocolate and nuts, with low acidity and a balanced profile.

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.
