EXCEPTIONALLY UNIQUE AND NUANCED COFFEE FLAVOURS ARE ABUNDANT IN RARE HEIRLOOMS PLANTS. MODERN COMMERCIAL FARMS CULTIVATE COFFEE PLANTS WHICH HAVE UNDERGONE CENTURIES OF HYBRIDIZATION AND OTHER FORMS OF GENETIC TINKERING THAT RID THE COFFEE NUANCE WHILE INCREASING CROP YIELDS. THESE HEIRLOOM PLANTS HAVE SURVIVED THOUSANDS OF YEARS WITH THEIR UNIQUE FLAVOUR EXPRESSIONS INTACT. IT IS THE PRESENCE OF THESE NUANCED FLAVOURS THAT GIVES OUR GRAND CRU COFFEES THEIR UNIQUE CHARACTER.

HEIRLOOM ARABICA PLANTS REQUIRE MORE CARE, SHADE (TYPICALLY CANOPY PLANTS OR MOUNTAINS) AND YIELD ROUGHLY 66% LESS COFFEE THAN THEIR MODERN COUSINS. CULTIVATING THESE PLANTS REQUIRE MORE SKILL AND PATIENCE. THIS EXPLAINS WHY THEY ARE SO RARE. HOWEVER ONE ONLY HAS TO SIP A SINGLE CUP TO UNDERSTAND WHY HEIRLOOM ARABICA ARE SO VALUED. THAT IS WHY WE CHOOSE TO ONLY PROCURE COFFEE FROM FARMS THAT CULTIVATE THE FINEST HEIRLOOM PLANTS.
