What do Alex and Fatima, left, have in common with your New Year health kick? They are some of the fine Latin American producers whose carefully selected beans go into making our award-winning decaff roast & ground coffee.
Alex and Fatima work in the quality control department of Prodecoop in Nicaragua and are well respected for their ‘cupping’ skills – they have even been finalists in the prestigious ‘Cup of Excellence’ competition! Before coffee is sent over to Cafédirect from Prodecoop each container is tasted by them at least eight times to ensure that it is of the highest quality possible – part of the reason why our decaff blend won a Gold medal in the Great Taste Awards in 2011. The following year we were proud to win the same accolade for our hand-picked decaff tea, whose delicate leaves come from Kenya.
So if, like us, you are feeling a tad jaded after the festive season, you needn’t sacrifice flavour in your quest for health!
