Origins & Influence

For PASSENGER BLEND2, we use three washed coffees from Colombia, Mexico and Kenya.

The Colombian coffee comes from the country’s northern Santander region and is grown by Hacienda El Rodeowhich is operated by Cristian Reyes and his family. The farm produces high-quality espresso beans of the Castillo variety, which is Columbia’s newest and most successful breed of robust, disease-resistant coffee. Castillo has a fine flavour profile that is fruity, floral and sweet. PASSENGER sources these coffee beans directly from Hacienda El Rodeo.

More information about Cristian’s work and coffee cultivation in Colombia is available here.

The pronounced currant flavour in BLEND2 is a typical characteristic of fine Kenyan coffees. PASSENGER sources its Kenyan coffee beans from the Kiamutuira processing station, which is located in the Kirinyaga district and was founded in 1996. It provides local farmers with a reliable facility for coffee processing. Kiamutuira is part of the Mutira Cooperative Societya cooperative that has been at the heart of Kenyan coffee production since 1951. The cooperative has predominantly female membership and grows high-quality coffee varieties under the shade of macadamia trees, benefiting from fertile volcanic clay soils and proximity to the Mount Kenya forest. Over the years, it has become a symbol of quality and community and produces some of the best coffees in the region.

We discovered the versatile potential of Mexican coffees from Oaxaca during a visit to the region’s local farms and have been offering this coffee as a single origin roast ever since. The washed coffee from the San Pedro Collective Union is an unbeatable all-rounder which, when served as a single origin brew, shows what Mexican coffees are capable of. It plays a key role in our BLEND2 and RAWS espresso blends.

BLEND2 is a tribute to our roots in New Zealand’s coffee culture and the second espresso blend we developed. While classic espresso blends are dominated by chocolatey and nutty flavours, this high-quality coffee features a honey-like sweetness, mild acidity and a juicy body.

The blend consists of 3 washed coffees: Colombia, Mexico and Kenya which PASSENGER sources from Raw Material Coffee and Trabocca. 

The accentuated currant flavor is a typical character of Kenyan coffees.

We got to know the versatile potential of Mexican coffees from Oaxaca during a visit to the farms there and have always presented them as single origin roasts in our range since then.

PASSENGER is roasting on four days a week and ships fresh coffee within three days after an order is placed.

The coffees are suitable for all types of preparation, depending on personal taste.

The single-origin roasts emphasize fruity, floral and herbal notes, while the espresso blends usually complement the actual character of the coffee with sweet roasted aromas and a creamy body and are both intriguing and accessible.

We are continuously intensifying our cooperation with innovative and progressive green coffee traders and social organizations that are committed to making the trade in green coffee fairer along the entire value chain.

FAQ

Which coffees are best suited for preparation in a moka pot?

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.

What are your priorities when it comes to buying green coffee?

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. 

How is PASSENGER Decaf decaffeinated?

The PASSENGER Decaf is decaffeinated by a highly regarded Columbian company called Descafecol.

Descafecol uses the sugar-cane 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.

What’s the shelf life of a bag of coffee?

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.

Why can’t I pay for Cubano via PayPal or Stripe or add it to a subscription?

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.
