Espresso Dark Matter

Espresso blend with robusta Dark Matter

We are here to make coffee metal.

Conilon and other varieties of the species Canephora are gaining a second life. But they did not need this, because dense, tart and velvety coffee, which is not lost in milk, is always in demand.

Flavor profile: dense buttery coffee with a bouquet of bitter chocolate, spices and almonds, which clearly expresses itself in dairy drinks.

About robusta in the composition of the mixture

Kawacom is one of the largest coffee exporters from Uganda. The company actively cooperates with local farmers, each of them is trained in the collection, processing of coffee and proper care of the farm.

Kawacom participates in the EPOPA (Export Promotion of Organic Products from Africa) program, which was established in 1994 by the Swedish International Agency for Cooperation in the development of organic trade (Sida). The program includes projects in Uganda and Tanzania. The aim of the projects is to support local farmers and motivate them to increase productivity and quality of coffee through the payment of bonuses.

One of the main regions where Ugandan robusta is grown is the Bushenyi region, which is located in the south-west of the country. The growth heights here range from 1200 to 1450 meters above sea level. Banana trees that provide shade are also planted on farms, which bring additional income to farmers.

About 1,750 mm of precipitation falls in the region, which is well distributed throughout the year: the drought period lasts on average 2.5 months, it is necessary for the flowering of coffee trees. Fertilization of the flowers of the tree does not depend on cross—pollination, the berries ripen within 6-8 months, the harvest falls on the period June - September.

About Arabica in the composition of the mixture

Coffee production on the Rancho Grande farm began back in 1933, when Mr. Aneite Reis inherited 5 hectares of land. Over time, thanks to the efforts and dedication in the work, the farm improved existing and developed new production methods. Today, the farm is managed by Mr. Anate's son, Jose Carlos Reis, and grandson, son Flavio Reis. At the moment, the farm occupies 2.350 hectares, of which coffee cultivation occupies 517 hectares. The farm's mission is to responsibly produce coffee of the highest possible quality, without neglecting the importance of environmental protection and concern for the well–being of its employees. Their goal is to continue to improve the quality of the coffee produced, striving to meet the needs of consumers.

We visited this farm in 2023 as part of a big trip to the farms of Brazil.

Packing, grinding and storage of coffee

Packing options: 250 grams, 1 kilogram and in drip bags. We can grind coffee for any brewing method, just check the Grind checkbox and select the grind size for your brewing method.

Store the coffee beans in a dry place without direct sunlight and grind immediately before cooking. It is best in our zip-fastener pack or in a jar with a vacuum function. Remember: oxygen is the main enemy of coffee, especially if it is ground in advance. If you are going away for a long time, coffee can be frozen once in the freezer.
