Café Belmondo was founded on the passion for the best cup of coffee possible.
Our quest for the best has taken us to the farms where coffee is meticulously
grown, harvested and processed by artisan farmers who are passionate about
coffee. Our green coffee buyer's passion for coffee started as a young child
growing up in coffee producing areas. Later in life, our buyer traveled the
world working side by side with farmers and processors, searching for coffee
that has been given the proper care and respect it deserves.
The journey for the best cup of coffee does not end at the farm, which is
only the beginning. Care must be given to the pulping, washing and drying of the
coffee. Like an artist, the workers meticulously oversee the process and spend
hours working with the coffee to make sure that the coffee will be a pleasure to
drink.
After drying, the coffee is sorted and only the best beans of the lot make
the grade of Café Belmondo. Distinctions of color, size or density are taste
tested by coffee experts in the producing countries and taste tested by our
green buyer. Café Belmondo will not compromise on quality.
Once the coffee arrives at the roasting plant, a panel of cuppers
(professional tasters) and our green coffee buyer hand roast each lot and taste
test the coffee before final roasting. Samples are roasted at different levels
to determine the roast level that brings out the optimum characteristics of each
coffee. Only then is the coffee ready for roasting and packaging.
Café Belmondo's master roasters are true artisans. Each batch is carefully
watched, not by scientific equipment, but by the trained senses of sight, smell,
sound and taste of the Café Belmondo Artisan roaster. As soon as the coffee
reaches perfection, it is quickly cooled and immediately packaged to lock in the
aroma and flavor of the Café Belmondo coffee.
Café Belmondo's artisans, from the farms all the way through our customer
service representatives, have gone through years of training to bring you a cup
of coffee that is a true pleasure to drink. Very few people have had an
opportunity to drink a coffee that has earned the care and respect that a
quality coffee deserves. Only after tasting Café Belmondo can one truly
appreciate the labor of love that has gone into every cup of Café Belmondo
coffee.
