The Grands Crus Origins
We're often asked why we call our coffees Grands Crus.
Come on a journey to the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, where the fruits of the exotic Coffea Rubiaceae tree, luscious red in colour, dray their character from their terroir, their environment.

In our AAA Sustainable Quality Program, we’re learning together with our farmers how to improve their farms. At the end of the day, it’s the farmers who best understand their coffee trees.
