Hand roasted fair trade coffee
The coffee is purchased directly in Guatemala and Honduras, throughout long-term relationships. It is hand roasted in Paris, to the second, with an accuracy of one tenth of a degree.
The founder is in charge of the sourcing and travels himslf to Southe America to meet with producers and all the players in the market, with whom he maintains perennial relationships based on transparency, over several years.
Once in Paris, the coffee is hand roasted, by small quantities: the chief torrefactor determines time and temperature for each coffee. Once roasted, the taste of coffee is evolving: it takes fifteen days to achieve its optimum taste and it stays excellent for three months. Single origin or blend, the coffees are packed on site, with the roasting date written on the packaging.
Belleville Brûlerie offers barista state-approved training. Guided visits are organised every day, to discover all the process, from sourcing to roasting, including the storage of green beans and the art of blending.
