La Semeuse

100% Arabica. Strong and exciting. The beans for this 100% Arabica coffee blend come from Colombia, Peru, and Indonesia. The coffee has a subtle yet robust flavor, with a hint of chocolate. Soleil Levant is organic and certified by Max Havelaar. The Max Havelaar seal represents fair and sustainable trade with producer organizations in disadvantaged regions. This coffee is produced according to strict social criteria and in accordance with organic farming guidelines, and it is traded fairly.

By purchasing a product with the Max Havelaar seal, you make a personal contribution. The Max Havelaar Foundation monitors compliance with fair trade criteria. While Italians may rightly claim to have invented espresso, that doesn't mean we can't roast a good espresso here in Switzerland. No one else roasts at an altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level. The lower air pressure causes the coffee beans to behave differently during roasting than in regular roasteries. Exactly how is a closely guarded secret of the la Semeuse roastery from La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Bean type

Degree of roasting

The so-called roasting degree is one of the most important factors when roasting coffee. It measures the different roasting results that can be obtained when roasting coffee. You can influence the degree of roasting by varying the temperature and roasting time. The degree of roasting has a significant influence on the aroma, taste and intended use of the coffee.

By the way, you can measure the degree of roasting either with a colorimeter or by tasting. Roasters usually want to enhance the coffee's inherent flavors and achieve an appropriate degree of roast. Typically, light roasted coffee is more acidic, while dark roasted coffee is more bitter. Fruity flavors are also more common in light roasts, while smoky flavors and roasted aromas are more common in heavily roasted coffee.

Less strongly roasted coffee also tastes fruitier due to the high proportion of the organic compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. If coffee beans are roasted for longer, these fruity aromas decompose. At the same time, the number of sulphur compounds increases, resulting in smoky and roasted aromas.

As a rule of thumb, you can assume that a light roast brings out the character of the green coffee better. By the way, it is easier to distinguish light roasted beans from each other than dark ones.
