Origin and Plantation
The region around the Atherton Tablelands is mainly known for its Rodeo Shows and tobacco processing. In the early 20th century, a significant amount of high-quality coffee was also cultivated; economic change and climatic problems were the reason for its abandonment. It is only since the 70s that coffee is yet again cultivated here. Amongst others on the Skybury Plantation close to Mareeba in northern Queensland.

Character and Taste
A coffee for lovers! It is very light and mild in flavour and is characterized by a pleasant spiciness. The Skybury has a lower caffeine content compared to other coffees.

Plantation Info
This family-owned plantation is located at altitudes of 550 - 600 m above sea level. On the Skybury plantation, the coffee is not only cultivated and harvested, but also peeled, selected and packaged. Originally the variety Arabica Typica was the only one that was planted, but a change was made to the Arabica Bourbon, which is more resilient. The annual production of this plantation amounts to approximately 150 tons of green coffee thanks to highly ambitious cultivation methods, such as the automatic irrigation system, mechanical harvests, selection and drying processes.

Particularities

You can say that Australia has developed its own coffee culture over the past years. Strongly influenced by Italy, you will find that all possible combinations offered in the coffee bars are based on Espresso. Actually, one would think that coffee cultivation should have developed accordingly here as well. After first tentative steps in the 20^th century, it was, however, completely ceased due to unprofitability and poor quality, but was started again in the 70s. Today, you can find excellent coffees that are available in limited
amounts on the world market.

Origin and Plantation
Café de la Frontera (frontier coffee) is a project, which supports the coffee business between Bolivia and Peru with the goal to improve the living conditions of Bolivian coffee farmers. This project is focused on sustainability, quality and fair production. The coffee is produced in Bolivia and then sold through Peru. This cooperation has solved the problems concerning logistics and sales and, thus, coffee cultivation has become profitable for the farmers. The increased income has significantly improved the social and economic situation of the Bolivians.

Character and Taste
The Bolivia Café de la Frontera offers you a harmonious body, which is rounded off by its medium acidity. A chocolate-honey-like flavour with an aromatic note of fruits is characteristic for this coffee and will make you swoon over it.

Particularities
Even though Bolivia has the perfect climate for cultivating coffee, it is a rather small player on the world market. They exclusively grow Arabica and, in addition, the cultivation is largely organic. The flavour of these high-quality Bolivian coffees can be spicy, floral or smooth and chocolate-like.

Origin and Plantation
The famous Jacu Bird is produced on a farm located in the region of Pedra Azul, in the rural district of Domingos Martins, right in the heart of Brazil. At the beginning, the plantation owner (Henrique Sloper) was not amused when the Jacu birds, as large as a turkey, wreaked havoc on his farm and picked the sweetest and most ripe coffee cherries from the bushes. Remembering the popular Kopi Luwak (see page 183), the idea of the Jacu Bird coffee came to life. The digestion of the beans only takes up to two hours and so the beans are not yet affected by the stomach acids or the animal proteins, but the undesired bitter substances are extracted by the animal fermentation.

Character und Taste
The Jacu Bird is one of the most exclusive coffees in the world. As a result of this arduous and unique process you will be treated with a sweet coffee low in acid which will quickly win you over with its lightly sweet flavour and hints of almonds and apricots.

Particularities

Brazil is, without doubt, the largest producer of Arabica coffees in the world and is also among the largest Robusta producers. Its coffees are often offered in blends or as cheap Arabica varieties. We, however, consider Brazil from another point of view. We present finest plantation coffees, which offer a large array of unique flavour characteristics thanks to their specific origins and differing production methods.
