IPack of Kenya AA Coffeef you’re looking for a full-bodied coffee that is smooth and mellow, with no bitterness, then Kenya AA Coffee could be the one for you. Kenyan coffees are known for their deliciously sweet, berry fruit flavours and intense acidity, and Kenya AA embodies all these excellent characteristics, and more. In Kenya, coffees are graded using a combination of bean size and quality. After being hulled, the coffee beans are mechanically shaken through sieves to determine their grade. Those with an AA rating are the specially selected larger beans that are considered superior and therefore more valuable.

Some of the finest coffees in the world come from Central Kenya, and the knowledge and expertise of Kenyan coffee farmers, along with research and development of farming practices has ensured the quality of their coffee is consistently high. Kenya AA Coffee is grown in the fertile Nyeri region of the Aberdare foothills, where the amazing spectacle of Mount Kenya can be seen. This magnificent area has lush forests of eucalyptus and acidic red soil that provide the perfect environment for coffee production. Predominantly grown on smallholder farms, coffee is cultivated at altitudes of 1,200-2,300m, (3,900-7,500ft), where it is usual for two crops a years to be produced.

Brazil Ipanema Coffee bagBrazil Ipanema Coffee is a speciality single origin coffee made from exclusively prepared bourbon variety coffee beans. This most flavoursome, medium-bodied cup is slightly citric, with a noticeable acidity and evident floral overtones. It has a smooth, mellow taste and delightful, rich aroma. The aftertaste is long, pleasant and almondy. It gives you everything you would expect from a fabulous Brazilian coffee.

Coffee has been grown in Brazil for more than 150 years and the country is currently the largest coffee producer in the world. Its innovative methods of coffee cultivation ensure the end result is of the highest quality possible. Ipanema coffees have been in production since 1969. The beans used to produce Brazil Ipanema Coffee are grown in mineral-rich soil, in a mild, subtropical climate ideal for coffee cultivation. Eucalyptus trees are grown in the same area, and these provide a natural fuel to be used in the coffee drying process. The coffee plantations in Ipanema are renowned for maintaining rigorous standards in respect of working conditions and the social and environmental effects of coffee production.

Ipanema is a neighbourhood in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, situated between Leblon and Arpoador. The iconic Ipanema Beach attracts people from all over the world, with its long strip of sun-drenched, white sand, and the majestic Morro Dois Irmãos mountains dominating the landscape. Alive with colour and character, it's a popular choice for sunbathers, surfers, and also the rich and famous. For many years the place has been the inspiration for artists and musicians, and is identifiable with the Bossa nova music genre that so effectively captures the spirit of Rio; most of us can recognise 'The Girl from Ipanema', the catchy tune written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes in the 1960s. Away from the beach are leafy streets lined with chic boutiques, trendy restaurants, theatres and bars. Within this vibrant buzz, people browse in bookshops and admire works of art in avant-garde galleries, or on Sundays may visit the Hippie Fair that has been going since the 1960's, selling handicrafts, food, leather goods and jewellery.

Our Brazil Ipanema is actually cultivated some 500km north of Ipanema, Rio, in a similarly named municipality. It's a versatile coffee; suitable for bean-to-cup, cafetière and filter machines, and works particularly well in espresso-based drinks, being sweet and balanced with a good crema. So take a sip, close your eyes, and imagine you're on Ipanema Beach, with the sun on your face and a gentle Bossa nova rhythm in your head, as you savour the smooth and mellow sweetness of Brazil Ipanema Coffee.

Coffee is Uganda’s biggest export crop, and is mostly cultivated on smallholder farms. The majority of coffee produced there is of the Robusta variety, the trees being native to the country. The Arabica variety wasn’t introduced until 1900. Coffee plants benefit from a perfect balance of sunshine, ample rainfall, and cool temperatures in the higher altitudes, that enable them to develop slowly, enriching the quality of the beans. Coffee cherries are harvested at various times of year, depending on the altitude they are grown, so supply is constant.

Island with coral reefPapua New Guinea Coffee is the perfect coffee to drink at any time of day. It is rich and mellow, with a wonderful complexity that delivers distinctive chocolate and nut flavours, a sweet, tropical fruit finish, and an intoxicating aroma.

Papua New Guinea is an island nation made up from the eastern half of the world’s second largest island, New Guinea, and hundreds of other offshore islands. It is situated in the Pacific Ocean, north of Australia and east of Indonesia. The terrain here is mostly mountainous and volcanic, with a tropical climate that makes it hot and humid for much of the year, although it is generally cooler in the highland regions, where there is occasional snowfall on the higher peaks. Papua New Guinea is a culturally diverse country, where more than 800 languages are believed to be spoken.

Coffee was first introduced to Papua New Guinea in the late 19th century, and by the 1920s, was being grown commercially. By the 1970s, a government initiative had resulted in coffee being cultivated on small co-operative-run farms. Most of the coffee grown in Papua New Guinea today is on small land holdings, or ‘coffee gardens’, with a large percentage of the population involved in its production. Many farms are located in isolated areas, where there is seldom any need for pesticides or synthetic fertilisers to be used, and much of the coffee is certified as ‘organic’. The main areas of coffee production are in the highland regions: Western Highlands, Eastern Highlands, Simbu, Morobe and East Sepik, where the climate and fertile soils provide the best conditions for great coffee. Coffee cherries are harvested by hand and dried in the sun for optimum flavour.

Papua New Guinea Coffee is suitable for use with bean-to-cup, cafetière, espresso and filter machines. It is just one of over 100 wonderful coffees from around the world that Coffee-Direct can deliver directly to your door. We roast to order, so your coffee will always arrive in the freshest condition possible, and offer a range of grind options as well as whole beans.

Delivering a rich, rounded flavour and delightful aroma, its low acidity and medium body make it the perfect choice for people who prefer their coffee not so strong. Maragogype Coffee is unique in that its beans are considerably larger than others, so much so that they are also known as 'Elephant Coffee Beans'. This unusual occurrence is thought to be the result of a genetic mutation of a Typica variety of Arabica beans, originally found growing near Maragogipe, a state of Bahia in Brazil.

Maragogype Coffee packFor those in search of a smooth, mellow cup, and something a bit unique, why not try Dark Maragogype Coffee? Delivering a rich, rounded flavour and delightful aroma, its low acidity and medium body make it the perfect choice for people who prefer their coffee not so strong. Maragogype Coffee is unique in that its beans are considerably larger than others, so much so that they are also known as 'Elephant Coffee Beans'. This unusual occurrence is thought to be the result of a genetic mutation of a Typica variety of Arabica beans, originally found growing near Maragogipe, a state of Bahia in Brazil. Everything about this coffee is big; the coffee trees are tall and bear exceptionally large leaves and fruits. They grow in high altitudes, sometimes up to 1200 metres or more, in the temperate climates of several countries in Central and South America, but the majority of them are cultivated in Brazil, Guatemala and Mexico. Although Maragogype coffee trees are known for producing larger beans, they produce fewer of them than other coffee varietals. Their low yield makes Maragogype one of the world's rarest and most sought-after coffees. 

Maragogype coffee cherries mature slowly and ripen to a bright red colour. The beans are of a porous nature. Sometimes they are left to dry inside the cherry, where natural sugars further enhance their taste. The flavour of Maragogype coffee can vary and sometimes be dependent on the quality and condition of soil and area of cultivation. Guatemalan Maragogype is considered to be superior in quality to most. Its taste characteristics can be described as it being medium-bodied, with earthy tones, and  fruit, almond and chocolate notes. It has a rich, nutty aroma and is low in acidity. Its pleasant mellow flavour makes it excellent to blend with other coffees, especially Blue Sumatra and Monsoon Malabar, and it is suitable to be used with bean-to-cup, cafetière, filter and espresso machines.

At summitmedicalphysics we roast over 100 wonderful coffees from around the world, including Dark Maragogype, and deliver them directly to your door. We roast to order, so your coffee will always arrive in the freshest condition possible, and offer a range of grind options as well as whole beans.
