CAPITANO Espresso Organic Fair Trade Coffee Capsules
  • strength
  • acid
A captain must have foresight and patience if he wants to hold his own on stormy seas. We believe that both are also important in the coffee business. After all, Tropical Mountains wants to create an island where only organic and fair-trade coffee in sustainable packaging has a right to exist. With CAPITANO, you are heading for a sweet and full-bodied Arabica-Robusta blend that rewards you with aromas of grapefruit, dark chocolate and roasted nuts. With a slight acidity and a long-lasting, pleasant finish. This makes the CAPITANO espresso perfect to enjoy neat, as a ristretto or as the base for a cappuccino.Tropical Mountains CAPITANO espresso coffee capsules: Community CoffeeWe use organic Arabica green coffees from Peru and Colombia for our CAPITANO espresso. The organic Robusta comes from a partner cooperative in Tanzania. In this way, we support coffee farmers from our network or from our community by purchasing their gourmet organic coffee for the CAPITANO espresso directly and without intermediate trade.  The coffee farmers we work with thus have a good and fair income.Compostable capsule alternatives for the Nespresso®* systemThe coffee capsules we use conserve natural resources. That is why both the capsules and their packaging are made from purely natural materials. Since aluminium is deliberately avoided, the capsules and packaging are completely biodegradable. Read here how you can gently dispose of or compost the packaging.Zero WasteWe consistently pursue the idea of Zero Waste. The 21 capsule containers can be refilled again and again.

ANGELITO Light Roast Organic Fair Trade Coffee Beans

FAIR TRADE, SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS, ...

The coffee cherries for our coffees are produced on our Tropical Mountains coffee farm in central Peru. We also buy their gourmet organic coffee from coffee farmers in our network without intermediaries. This way, the coffee farmers we work with have a good and fair living.

The Tropical Mountains Farm has been in existence since 2012. As founders of the farm, we, Thomas Schwegler and Gisella Iriarte-Schwegler, are involved in social projects, such as the construction of a village school, in addition to growing certified organic coffee.

"RESPECT MAKES BETTER-TASTING COFFEE"

QUALITY-CONSCIOUS:
The Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) awards particularly high-quality coffee. All our varieties score over 80 out of a possible 100 points.

We grow our coffee sustainably and organically. In doing so, we pay attention not only to nature, but also to people.

COLLABORATIVE:
The coffee comes directly from our farm or from Tropical Mountains' organic and fair trade certified partners. Our family is constantly growing - our values remain.

ALUMINIUM- AND PLASTIC-FREE:
We take an environmentally responsible approach. That's why our packaging is free of aluminium and plastic. The coffee pods are compostable.
