Tea & coffee

Completely Sustainable

German tea producer Ronnefeldt launches its new line ‘100%’. A tea line with eight different flavours and one common denominator; sustainability. From classic tea varieties, such as English Breakfast, to fruit melanges with juicy papaya; and from green lightly-steamed Sencha Asamushi from Japan to the spicy Spice of Life, with ginger, lemon grass and mint. All the ingredients are not only organic, the packaging is recyclable and compostable as well and the displays for the hotel and catering industry are made of environmentally-friendly bamboo or stainless steel.

Nitro baby

Also this year Amsterdam’s Dak Coffee Roasters and Berlin’s Motel Beer & Coffee have joined forces. Again they are launching a nitro coffee together: cold coffee to which nitrogen has been added. For the creamy ‘Chunky Cherry’, they use an anaerobic fermented Indonesian coffee from Frinsa Estate. The flavour profile? Funky and sweet. After picking, the coffee bean and the skin of the coffee cherry will never see each other again. Coffee cherry skins, also called cascara, are often still disposed of as a by-product. Sir Francis combines the two components of the coffee cherry in a liqueur which tastes great mixed into an espresso martini or pure as a digestive. Producer Rob Clarijs uses coffee and cascara of the same bean for this, grown by the Argote family in the famous Nariño region of Colombia.

And there are more flavours. They’re also launching ‘Lemon Cream’, based on an Ethiopian washed coffee from Daye Bensa, a creamy cold brew with hints of lemon and marzipan.
