CORE SERIES
The CORE series is our answer to responsible coffee – or delicious and responsible hot chocolate.
The Responsible Choice
Vores kerne
Responsible Coffee – What Does That Mean?
Sustainability is a bit of a tricky word. It is used a lot in everyday speech but it has become a rather imprecise word – just like when you use the word "green". We know what you're talking about... sort of.
So instead of using an ambiguous, imprecise word, we talk about responsibility instead. And then we tell you what we think is responsible. This way there's not much room for confusion and the bottom line is clear.
Our responsibility entails that we deal directly with farmers and pay them a decent price that can atually cover their living expenses. We think this is incredibly important because the work that the farmers do is the reason why we can exist at all, and they deserve to be paid a proper price for their important work.
We, of course, also care about the climate. This means that we buy coffee that is grown in ways that do not worsen the climate. It is seen, for example, in coffee, which is cultivated or naturally grows in agroforestry rather than cleared agriculture. When the coffee is grown in agroforestry, it is shade-grown, which gives some very specific (and delicious) flavour notes to the coffee and increases biodiversity in the area.
In addition, we also work to reduce our own climate footprint. It helps that we look at our CO2 emissions every year and find out how we can reduce it. One of the reasons why our CO2 emissions are low is, among other things, that we always send our coffee on cargo ships rather than planes. The CO2 emissions are much lower that way - and we can bear waiting a few weeks longer for the coffee.
Specialty coffee
Specialkaffe
Al vores kaffe er specialkaffe, og det gælder også CORE-serien.
Begrebet "specialty coffee", "specialty kaffe" eller "specialkaffe," som man siger på godt dansk, er et begreb, der dækker over kvaliteten af kaffen. Specialkaffe er derfor kaffe, som er dyrket, høstet, processeret og ristet udførligt og påpasseligt.
Kvaliteten af specialkaffe bygger blandt andet på en cupping skala med point fra 1-100 lavet af Specialty Coffee Association. Når en kaffe scorer over 80 point på cupping skalaen, defineres den som specialkaffe.
Og det gør alle vores kaffer – inklusiv CORE-serien.
Chocolate Crush
Vores mest populære kaffe
Chocolate Crush er en brasiliansk specialkaffe med en blød og fyldig smagsprofil, hvor du møder nuancer af chokolade og karamel. Kaffen kommer fra kooperativet, Sancoffee, i regionen Campo das Vertentes – en gruppe dedikerede producenter, der arbejder målrettet med kvalitet og omtanke i hele produktionen.
Sweet Honey
Økologisk kaffe
Fantastisk smag og økologisk kvalitet gør denne kaffe til en ægte crowdpleaser.
Sweet Honey er Certified Organic, hvilket betyder, at den er helt fri for syntetisk gødning og pesticider. Den er ovenikøbet skyggedyrket (shade-grown) i bjergskovene i Honduras, hvilket tager det nærliggende landbrug i betragtning og kan fremme biodiversiteten.
Skyggedyrkningen giver en dejlig smag til kaffen også.
Vi handler Sweet Honey direkte med landbrugskooperativet Cafesmo i Honduras. Dette betyder, at vi undgår mellemmanden og samtidig kan sikre en betaling over markedsprisen til kooperativet med fuld gennemsigtighed.
chocolate powder
Økologisk kakao
Organic Chocolate
CleverCoffee now has its very own chocolate powder. It is organic and made from 55% cocoa from Ecuador. The cocoa beans are grown in agroforestry where the cocoa plants stand in the shade of other trees. This entails better conditions for the local animal and plant life.
To fight poverty and ensure proper payment, the cocoa is traded directly with the cocoa farmer.
Our CORE Chocolate Powder 01 is made in collaboration with Mellow. Mellow is committed to promoting positive change. They focus on ethical procurement, fair labor practices, reducing environmental damage and delivering clean and healthy chocolate.
