Coffee

This month the Brazil Santos Espresso is our coffee of the month. Be enchanted by Brazilian coffee and brew this coffee exactly the way you like it. We will help you on your way in this adventure full of taste and passion!

Why do you work with coffee?
Coffee is a very captivating gift from nature; especially Specialty Coffee. The dedication and love of every link in the chain of this quality coffee is so special! From the coffee farmer to you and I as a consumer, you feel and taste the love for the product. The craft, the knowledge, the influences of nature and environment (climate, soil conditions) are so decisive for the pure flavors and aromas, that this must be treated with the utmost care and love. And that is what everyone here at Boot Koffie strives for. That's what makes me happy. Surely everyone wants to work in such an environment!

Rick Maas is on the final leg of his coffee journey. He is currently visiting several plantations in Panama in his search for the finest coffees. There is also a lot of personal contact with the coffee farmers, pickers and families who live on and off the coffee plantations.

Fortunately, we all get to travel with him a little bit and Rick regularly sends fun and interesting video updates. Like this vlog with coffee farmer and entrepreneur Ricardo Koyner on his Kotowa plantation in Boquete, Panama. Among other things, our famous Panamaria Espresso and Filter comes from this plantation.

Visiting the coffee farmers of the Kachalu Project in the Santander region.
Our colleagues Rick Maas and Tuyet Tran left for Colombia last Monday. They traveled to the Santander region to visit 9 different plantations of the Kachalu Project. The purpose of this trip is to personally talk to the owners of these farms and to learn more about their working methods and the different processing methods. Focus is also on the financial situation of the farmers with the goal of gaining further insights and looking together at how to ensure the future sustainability of the plantations. When asked what the farmers' dreams and goals are, their answer is that at Kachalu they prioritize nature instead of increasing their yields by using non-organic fertilizers and pesticides to increase their production.

Not one, but two coffees of the month! In February, Java Espresso and Sumatra Filter are our coffees of the month. This is to introduce you to the delicious coffees from Indonesia, known for their spicy aromas, full body and high intensity. At the same time, the coffees from Java and Sumatra are again very different: a true journey through flavors and history.

For this dinner, The Local and BOOT Coffee are joining forces to host an amazing vegan five-course meal. On Feb. 8, 9 and 10, coffee will be an ingredient in every course. Sometimes subtle as a flavor enhancer, sometimes really emphatic.
