Important information about our coffee
HOW IS CAFÉ BRITT DIFFERENT FROM THE COFFEE YOU FIND IN YOUR LOCAL STORE?
Unlike most coffees sold commercially in countries that do not produce coffee, Café Britt's coffee is grown, roasted and packaged in its country of origin. This provides our customers with the freshest coffee available.
This way there is also a stronger relationship with the producers. At Café Britt, we know the farmers personally and work closely with them to ensure environmental sustainability. They combine generations of knowledge with the ideal mix of high altitude, volcanic soil and climate to grow the best coffee cherries.
Café Britt is an experienced roasting company with over 30 years of experience. They roast our coffees slowly and in small batches for perfect results. We do not add any additives and do not need them to improve the taste.
At Café Britt we can follow and participate in every step of coffee production. We invite you to experience the difference for yourself!
HOW MUCH CAFFEINE DO YOUR PRODUCTS HAVE?
Caffeine is a natural component of coffee beans. A standard 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee can contain between 65 and 121 mg of caffeine.
Even decaffeinated coffee is not completely decaffeinated. (This applies to all commercial decaffeinated coffees, not just Café Britt.) Coffee that has undergone decaffeination is 99.9% caffeine-free, meaning an 8-ounce cup of brewed decaffeinated coffee contains approximately 0.03% Contains caffeine (0.2 to 0.4 mg).
Because our coffee-based candies contain real coffee, they also contain some caffeine. Each 5g of our chocolate covered coffee beans contains approximately 0.89mg of caffeine.
DO YOU OFFER KOSHER PRODUCTS?
Yes. All of our Costa Rica coffees are certified kosher.
WHY ARE CAFÉ BRITT CHOCOLATES SO HEAT SENSITIVE?
Since our chocolates are natural products without preservatives, they are very sensitive to heat. We take every precaution to ship them so that they reach you in perfect condition. Café Britt chocolates are best stored between 64° and 72° F (18° and 22° C). If for any reason your chocolates arrived melted, please contact us immediately at apfleger@arabicashop.de.
WHAT IS THE VALVE FOR ON YOUR COFFEE PACKAGES?
The packaging we use for Café Britt coffees is a durable three-layer material that protects the coffee from sunlight and oxygen. Each bag has a one-way valve that allows gases produced during roasting to escape and prevents air or oxygen from entering the bag.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY COFFEE?
For both ground and whole bean coffee, we recommend storing the bags in a cool and dark place, e.g. B. in a pantry, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never remove the coffee from the bag to pour it into a container. Our bags are designed to keep the coffee fresh thanks to the one-way valve.
WHAT IS THE NUMBER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG?
Every bag of Café Britt coffee contains a unique batch ID number, which tells us the exact date and time the coffee was roasted, the temperature at which it was roasted, and the batch or coffee farm it came from. As you can see, we can trace each bag to the plantation.
WHAT IS STRICTLY HARD BEAN OR SHB?
Strictly Hard Bean is part of a classification system for Costa Rican coffees grown above 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) above sea level. In Costa Rica, coffee trees grown at this altitude produce higher quality beans that are high in density and retain their nutrients and flavor during roasting.
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF CAFÉ BRITT COFFEE?
An unopened bag stays fresh for a year. Once opened, a bag of coffee will stay fresh for up to six months if stored correctly. Storing your coffee in its original packaging, tightly closed and in a cool and dry place is always a best practice for coffee storage.
