We have been dreaming about it for a long time, we have done it: the first 100% biodynamic blend.
The Source is our new coffee of happiness and signature. Consensual and round, it expresses itself in the length and develops aromas of chocolate and nuts.
As you know, since 2009, L'Arbre à Café is a pioneer roaster of biodynamic coffee.
If biodynamics has acquired its letters of nobility in wine, it remains little known by the public and is still ultra-confidential in the world of coffee since less than 15 plantations are officially labeled Demeter, the only biodynamic label, in the world!
If we count the non-labeled plantations that practice biodynamics, we double this number at best. Compared to the 26 million producers.... This represents an ultra minority. As for the roasters, they can be counted on the fingers of 4 hands!
At L'Arbre à Café, biodynamics is a daily reality, since 5 of the 8 permanent coffees we have in our catalog are biodynamic! The others are certified AB.
What does biodynamics change?
Everything!
For the soil, for the farmers, for the environment, and for the taste. As with wine and fruit, biodynamic coffees have more flavor, and a cleaner, brighter finish.
So why a biodynamic blend?
The design of a blend calls for the creative part of the roaster. For a long time, at L'Arbre à Café, we focused on how to best reveal the terroirs of each of our coffees. Then, little by little, we got into the game of creating blends, compositions, images of what we like to find in a cup, images of our sensitivity. In short, the blends are the expression of our identity.
But to make a blend, you need several coffees, different ones, that can match and meet for the best.
We had to wait because for a long time, the productions of our producers were too modest to be able to devote biodynamic batches to the blends.
Today, thanks to our long-term collaborations, Demeter-certified farmers produce more and allow us to create.
The Source is the first Demeter certified specialty coffee blend. It is the meeting of three of our historical producers from three key countries: Brazil, Honduras and Peru.
A blend is not only a composition of origins, terroirs and varieties, in which Brazil brings its sweetness and complexity, Honduras its structure and silkiness, Peru, its aromatic and its power. It is also a meeting of roasts, of complementary profiles, thanks to which we reinforce the strong points and the salience of each one.
In a cup the Source is confoundingly sweet, charmingly chocolatey, and has an eternal length in the mouth. It's not just another espresso and milk blend, it's much more than that too.
You will have understood that in the family of Assemblages, you will find your happiness for all moments and all contexts. You will taste the taste of L'Arbre à Café for innovation, accuracy and sensitivity, beyond the usual ideas. It's always the taste that counts, the taste of goodness and goodness.
