The packed (Les tassés)

Description

Why choose Les Tassés? Aromatic Profile Exotic fruits • Milk chocolate • Vanilla Origin: Cauca, Colombia Farm: Finca El Macarena Producer: Wilton Benitez Altitude: 2,200 meters Varieties: Castillo, Tabi, Gesha, Maragogype, Caturra, Bourbon Process: Washed Les Tassés was born from a simple belief: exceptional coffee should never be judged solely on its appearance. In specialty coffee, each harvest undergoes extremely rigorous sorting to achieve perfectly uniform batches. During this stage, some beans are discarded due to slight differences in size, shape, or calibration. Yet, these beans come from the same coffee trees, the same harvest, the same varieties, the same terroir, and the same processing methods as the most prestigious coffees. Their aromatic potential remains very real. For several years, we have collaborated with Wilton Benitez, one of Colombia's most innovative producers and a global reference in controlled fermentation and post-harvest innovation. Throughout our discussions, one question kept recurring: why discard beans that have so much to offer simply because they don't perfectly meet the market's visual standards? It is from this shared reflection that Les Tassés was born. Together, we chose to revalue these beans to give them a place in the cup rather than see them lose their value. This approach allows for better honoring the work done on the farm, reducing food waste, and offering a more responsible approach to specialty coffee. Beneath their sometimes atypical appearance lies a rich, gourmet, and balanced coffee, revealing generous notes of exotic fruits, milk chocolate, and vanilla. Roasted with the same precision as all our coffees, Les Tassés offer an experience faithful to Wilton Benitez's expertise and 94 Celcius' quality standards. Because ultimately, the beauty of a coffee is revealed first in the cup, long before it is seen in the bean.
