What Coffee Do We Use?
After extensive coffee cuppings, we selected Colombian 100% Arabica from various regions around the world for our products.
This selection is rooted in Colombia's rich coffee-growing tradition, known for its exceptional quality and delightful flavor, featuring a smooth start and a more intense aftertaste. Additionally, we chose organic (BIO) quality, reflecting our commitment to nature and the perfect synergy with the power of herbs derived from it.
The final and perhaps most important criterion for choosing Colombian coffee was its exceptional taste, even when combined with our herbal blends. Among the selected coffees, Colombia stood out significantly in our final test.
Everything is designed to ensure that enjoying Healtern selection coffee provides you with a unique experience.

Cultivation
Our products feature 100% Arabica Colombian Excelso EP coffee sourced from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region in organic (BIO) quality.
It is grown in the exceptional climate of the mountainous northern region, just 42 km from the Caribbean coast in some areas.
The plantations are situated at an altitude of 1,650 meters above sea level.
Taste
The manual harvesting and washing process enhance the coffee's natural qualities, resulting in a sweet flavor reminiscent of vanilla, caramel, or cookies.
Notes of juicy fruit and red apple are present, with some detecting hints of chocolate. The coffee has minimal acidity.
It has a moderate intensity upon first contact with the taste receptors, which then intensifies. The coffee leaves a pleasant, lasting flavor in the mouth."
Roasting
We use a medium-dark roast for all Healtern coffees, allowing the fruity and caramel notes in the flavor profile to shine while maintaining the beloved coffee bitterness. This balance of acidity, sweetness, and bitterness creates an exceptional taste.
We primarily recommend preparing Healtern coffee using alternative methods, though we also enjoy making it as espresso. While darker (Italian) roasts are typically preferred for espresso, the newer wave of specialty coffees has brought changes in roasting practices.
Preparing Healtern coffee in an espresso machine may result in slightly increased acidity and enhanced fruit tones compared to alternative brewing methods.
