Flirt
This coffee is for everyone who enjoys flirting with filtered coffee, as well as for those who have a serious relationship with it. You'll never get bored with it; it's juicy yet sweet and beautifully aromatic. Every date with it is simply fun.
We always select coffees for Flirt to ensure that the resulting cup is sweet and fun, but never becomes tiresome. During the year, its composition slightly changes, but its taste remains similar. Flirt is the kind of coffee that, whenever you reach for it, your date will be a little different every time, but you'll always enjoy it.

How does it taste?
Ondřej, our wholesale manager, can easily drink this coffee every day. What he enjoys about it is that nothing loudly stands out, and it's well-balanced. You don't have to think too much about this coffee, you simply drink it with joy. It has a creamy body, sweetness of honey and chocolate, with subtle notes of dried apricots."

Finca Šumava
is an ambitious project that emerged from the collaboration between a Czech investor and a well-known Costa Rican exporter of specialty coffee, Mr. Francisco Mena. Šumava, or Finca Šumava de Lourdes, is located in the Lourdes de Naranjo region, about an hour's drive from the capital city of San José. The idea behind the entire project is based on the exceptional terroir, a solid economic background and, above all, the enormous know-how that Francisco has gained over the past twenty years by working with hundreds of small farmers throughout Costa Rica.
Šumava is a truly model farm that uses the latest coffee processing technologies and current trends in agronomy and organic farming. We were interested, for example, in the recycling of wastewater generated during the cherry processing process. It is systematically dried on unused meadows and the remaining organic material is then used as fertilizer for coffee plants.
Finca Buenavista
The castillo variety was processed using the washed method on the farms of the Imbachi family members. It is a blend of harvests from Mr. Carlos Imbachi, his daughter Sonia and sons Ever Armando and Diego Fernando. These producers have been our main suppliers of Colombian coffee for more than 15 years. We try to buy their entire harvest every year, i.e. highly scored microlots and nanolots of rare varieties (such as geisha and pink bourbon), but also larger lots of lower taste quality, which are the main source of income for the family.
All coffees from the Imbachi family farms are processed using the traditional washed method, when freshly picked cherries are first pulped in Penagos eco-pulpers, followed by fermentation in concrete tanks and then drying in parabolic dryers.
