Not everyone may know this, but around 100 coffee species grow worldwide! Arabica is the clear leader: we all recognise it, and it is probably what most of us buy and drink every day. Robusta is the second most widely available, yet we still hear little about it. Why? Could Robusta surprise us?
Coffee is familiar to us all: aromatic, dark-brown beans, smooth to the touch, releasing a bouquet of flavours and aromas when covered with hot water.

In the global economy, coffee is “liquid black gold”, often compared with oil in discussions of commodity trading. Before it reaches warehouses, roasteries and cafés, however, it must travel from the country where it is produced to the country where it will be consumed. Finland, Norway and Iceland are among the greatest coffee-drinking nations: their residents can hardly imagine life without beans brought from Brazil, Honduras or Ethiopia in the Global South. In practice, the journey from producer to consumer is extremely long — quite literally.

If so, you have probably encountered the mysterious terms washed, honey or natural on a packet of Colombian coffee. In the coffee world, these describe processing methods: the second stage of work on a farm after harvesting. Although wet, natural and honey processing might not sound like an exciting first-date topic, we hope they will charm you as much as they charmed us.
For as long as we can remember, the rose has been one of the strongest symbols of femininity.

But what can you serve with it to win your loved one's heart all over again?
Organic coffee is attracting more and more attention. This is hardly surprising: environmental awareness in Poland continues to grow, which is undoubtedly a positive development.
