KARMELITERMISCHUNG BIO + FAIRTRADE

In 2012, we began selling coffee at Karmelitermarkt in a joint project with Kaas am Markt. Kaffeestation was born. We sold only BIO- and FAIRTRADE-certified coffees there. But something was still missing: a BIO- and FAIRTRADE-certified coffee blend with a small Robusta component. There were hardly any coffees like this at the time, since many producers tended to sell BIO- and FAIRTRADE-certified Arabicas as single-origin coffees and did not want to blend them with Robustas. Also, only a handful of Robusta varieties in the world had both BIO and FAIRTRADE certification. So we created the Karmelitermischung, an Italian blend with 10% Robusta. This Robusta comes from Tanzania.

The Karmelitermischung is bold and sweet, especially when prepared on an espresso machine at moderate temperatures (up to a maximum group temperature of 92 degrees). Our customers particularly like it as a more relaxed alternative to the Scarlatti Blend for a moka pot, where milk chocolate notes take center stage. When milk is added after brewing, the Karmelitermischung develops a delicate sweetness.
