A WORLD TOUR OF THE WAYS WE LOVE OUR COFFEE

Coffee is also a cultural experience that varies from one place to another. From the charming city of Venice where espresso is the daily drink of choice, to the vibrant city of New York where coffee culture thrives with diverse brews and creative concoctions, and to the many cafés and traditional coffee shops adorning the streets of Malaysia, every place has its own way of appreciating the full spectrum of flavours that coffee brings.

The same can be said about how coffee is grown and processed in each region. In Ethiopia, coffee is often grown in the lush highlands where farmers use traditional and organic methods to harvest the beans. One of the tried-and-true methods that Ethiopian coffee farmers use is the dry processing method where coffee cherries are meticulously dried in the sun for weeks. This method imparts a fruity and floral flavour profile to the blend. On the other hand, coffee farms in Colombia benefit from an unusual technique where they wait to harvest the cherries until it has passed their peak ripeness. This late harvest process allows the fruit sugar to seep deeper into the heart of the coffee bean, injecting lively acidity and a burst of winey red fruit aroma into your cup of coffee. Those are just two examples of the unique practices that each region uses to contribute to global coffee culture.

NESPRESSO'S COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
