This way starts in Colombia and Dominican Republic and lasts at least one year. We grow the best types of coffee on our plantations - Arabica and Robusta. Each of these varieties plays an important role in coffee blends.
Arabica gifts coffee rich flavor
Robusta is a source of caffeine and coffee strength
Despite the fact that the so-called "coffee belt" is located within the tropics, Arabica does not like heat and requires abundant rainfall. Therefore, for life, it chooses mountain areas at the altitude of 900 meters to two kilometers.
Robusta is much less high maintenance and its plantations begin at a height of two hundred meters.
Selected seedlings of both varieties receive year-round care necessary for the best coffee beans to ripen.
During its second year of life, the coffee tree starts to give coffee cherries with two beans inside - the essence of the future drink
Each tree produces from one to three kilograms of coffee beans per year. It takes 9-11 months for the cherries to ripen. They turn red and are ready to continue their journey.
Harvested berries have their pulp removed. There are two ways of processing – wet and dry. The first one is when the bean covering is washed off with water in a special machine.
With the dry method, the fruits are being dried under the sun for 15-20 days and are constantly being turned over - twenty times on the first day and eight times during the following days.
After drying, the remaining thin covering is peeled off beans with a special device.
All we have to do now is to sort them by size - the large ones are considered the most valuable. And after that, we remove random debris and low-quality beans
Coarse grind is suitable for French presses and drip coffee machines
Finer grind is ideal for espresso machines.
Very fine is suitable for preparing "oriental coffee" – in Turkish coffee pot cezve or for brewing in a cup.
And all you have to do is go to the nearest store and choose what kind of coffee "Moscow Coffee House" you want today. With its aroma and rich taste, it will tell you the story of its journey from other continents.
