Cafe Chez Moi

Cafe Chez Moi is a coffee roaster in Timișoara, Romania. Its coffees come from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, Peru and Ecuador, sold as single origin lots, some washed and some natural, with light roasts among those listed on the site.

The roaster's own site says the coffee is roasted in the quantities needed to keep both aroma and the bean's natural properties, rather than in big runs. What that means in the cup is a list that moves between washed and natural profiles. El Salvador Finca Andalucia brings Bourbon, Caturra and Pacamara grown at 1675 m; Costa Rica Las Lajas is a natural lot from Sabanilla de Poas with blueberries, mango, melon and honey sweetness; Ethiopia Guji comes from the Dimtu Tero farm in Oromia.

Washed lots come from Ecuador, where the Procap association gathers smallholders in Loja, and from Nepal. Natural lots include a Kenyan coffee with SL 28, SL 34, Batian and Ruiru 11 varieties. Flavour notes across the list lean fruity and toward caramel and sweetness. Each coffee page links to Cafe Chez Moi's own shop for the current offer.
