Why does Apas taste the way it does?
The APAS Blend is a blend of coffees from various organic-certified members of the APAS cooperative. Seventy-one members have joined forces to market their coffee together under the APAS brand. They were Fairtrade pioneers in Brazil – and today they are among the very few cooperatives in Brazil that produce organic coffee. They operate their farms in the São Gonçalo do Sapucaí region. They also repeatedly win as individual producers in coffee competitions such as the Cup of Excellence. The coffee cherries for the organic APAS Blend are individually dried in the cherry by the members on their own farms and then mechanically pulped. This dry processing emphasizes the nutty and chocolatey character of the coffee.
Tell me more about Apas Espresso
It all started in 2017. In our barista training courses, we needed a coffee that would meet many home baristas where they are at. It had to be a solid coffee, with a familiar flavor profile, easy to adjust, forgiving, and yet clearly different from a mass-produced product. We came into contact with Apas through algrano. After importing the first pallet in 2017, interest in this coffee grew, and with it, volume. Since Apas began appearing repeatedly on our YouTube channel, it quickly became our bestseller. After extensive preparatory work, we were able to convert Apas to organic in 2022. This step strengthened demand and the partnership. Today, we import several containers from Apas annually and are working together more closely than ever before.
How do we roast Apas coffee?
We roast Apas as a full batch (30 kg) in our Gießen roaster. The roasting time is 15 minutes, with a development time after the first crack of 2 minutes. The final temperature of 199°C is the highest of our roasts, making Apas the darkest roast.
