Coffee

Currently our Rick Maas is on a coffee tour in Indonesia. The first part of the trip took him to the island of Java (central, east and west), where he visited three projects, among others. Java is known for its fertile volcanic soil, which is ideal for growing coffee. Rick is looking for new cooperation opportunities, harvests and coffee varieties. At several plantations, small amounts of coffee are roasted in sample roasters to assess the flavors and judge the coffee. Working with coffee farmers and local contacts, Rick has tasted many wonderful natural and washed coffees.

Also this year, we are playing the BOOT Coffee Game with awesome prizes from our main sponsor Jura Espresso Machines, among others.

Join us on Saturday, June 29 for the summer edition of the Coffee Tasting Day at the Coffee Shop & Bar in Baarn. We try to provide nice weather, but promise to at least let you taste the finest coffees and demonstrate some special brewing methods.

Coffee for me is much more than that. It is an art, a ritual and sometimes even a chemistry experiment. Here it is important to take the time for coffee, as in Slow Coffee, all attention when brewing the coffee. Then it becomes a moment of "not having to do anything" and pure relaxation.

The beautiful Amelisweerd estate in Bunnik is home to a true culinary treasure: De Veldkeuken. Founded in 1999 by Juliette Borggreve and René van der Veer, this restaurant began as a modest bike cart serving homemade treats for hikers. Today, De Veldkeuken has grown into a thriving organic restaurant with its own bakery, meeting room and estate store. With a 100% EKO catering seal of approval, The Field Kitchen uses only local and organic ingredients for their delicious breakfasts, lunches, cakes and appetizers.

The Bio Blend has the best of both worlds, the sweet notes of chocolate and dried fruit of the Colombia Kachalu and the intensity and body of the Indonesia Sumatra. The result is a beautifully balanced and powerful coffee.
