FAQ
We recommend the espresso blends PASSENGER Blend, blend 2 and RAWS for a strong, sweet mocha.
By comparison, when single origins are brewed in a moka pot the resulting coffee has greater acidity with fruitier notes and develops less body.
We are committed to fair trade and work with a growing network of distributors who specialise in green coffee, local sourcing crews and agronomists, as well as a growing number of directly affiliated farmers. We constantly strive for higher sustainability standards in the production process and act responsibly throughout the entire coffee value chain.
The PASSENGER Decaf is decaffeinated by a highly regarded Columbian company called Descafecol.
Descafecol uses the sugarcane decaffeination process. This involves pure water from Navado el Ruis (a snow-capped volcano on the border between the departments of Caldas and Tolima) and natural ethyl acetate from Palmira, which is obtained through the fermentation of sugarcane. The coffee beans are placed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate and the solution acts as a binding agent for the caffeine.
This gentle method of decaffeination does not require excessive heat or pressure, which allows the beans to retain their natural structure and characteristics.
The best-before date on the packaging is 12 months after the roasting date. Our coffee should ideally be consumed within four weeks of roasting. Depending on the preparation method, the first noticeable changes in taste will become apparent after that time. We recommend storing the coffee in a sealed container at room temperature to keep it fresh.
PayPal and Stripe are not allowed to enter into trade relations with Cuba due to the US trade embargo against Cuba, which has been in place since 1960.
That’s why it is not possible to purchase Cuban goods using these American payment systems. Our subscription function is linked to PayPal and Stripe, so unfortunately we cannot offer Cubano as a subscription.
