What makes this coffee special

Mild, nutty, clean

Mild and nutty, with almond and caramel, followed by a fine citrus note. The acidity is soft and well integrated, the body medium. A clean, clear filter coffee without intrusive roast flavors.

The cherries are processed using the washed method: the pulp is removed before drying. This keeps the flavors distinct instead of merging into a fruit compote. In addition, a light roast that does not overpower the coffee is used. That is exactly what makes Sonnental a filter coffee you can still enjoy cold.

AlmondNuttyCaramelCitrus

Aromas are natural flavor associations from green coffee and roasting. Nothing is added to the coffee.

A good fit if you …

you drink filter coffee and are looking for a mild, clean everyday coffee
you like nutty and caramel notes without strong roast flavors
you brew larger quantities in a drip coffee maker or French press

Probably not if you …

you prepare espresso. Then Andenperle fits, the same bean roasted for espresso
you are looking for an intense, fruity filter coffee. Then choose Hochlandblüte or Hochlandjuwel
you are used to strong roast flavors

The people behind the coffee

Who grows your coffee, with names and faces.

We buy in small lots and know the producers whose coffee we roast.

Peru

141 smallholder farmers, 7 indigenous Yanesha villages, Oxapampa, Peru

Sonnental grows in the mountain rainforest of Villa Rica in the province of Oxapampa, grown by members of the indigenous Yanesha community. The Yanesha are among the oldest indigenous peoples of Peru.

In the cooperative CEPRO Yanesha 141 coffee farmers from seven villages pool their harvests, 43 of them women. Together they achieve volumes and quality standards that individual families could not enforce on the world market. The cooperative is organic and Fairtrade certified and is listed under FLO-ID 34607.

The coffee farms are located at 1,200 to 1,800 meters, in the middle of the UNESCO Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha biosphere reserve. The reserve protects some of the last largely undisturbed ecosystems of central Peru.

Every cherry is hand-selected and processed using the washed method. This step is the reason for the clarity Sonnental shows in the cup.

How to get the most out of it

The same bean tastes different with every preparation. Here are the parameters we use to brew it ourselves.

filter coffee

Filterkaffee

Dose: 15 g for 250 ml
Water: 250 ml
Grind: 8 (medium-fine)
Temperature: 93–94 °C
Time: 2:30–3:00 min

House convention: 250 ml are one cup. Large pot 20 g for 320 ml. Pour-over Hario V60, water quality total hardness 4 °dH, alkalinity 3 °dH.

French Press Espresso

French Press

Dose: 40 g
Water: 750 ml
Yield: 750 ml
Temperature: 93 °C
Time: 3 min

40 g for 750 ml yields three cups of 250 ml each. After one minute stir the crust, at three minutes press slowly and decant immediately.

Café Crème

Dose: 12–14 g
Yield: 120–140 g (1:10)
Grind: medium, coarser than espresso
Temperature: 93–94 °C
Time: 25–30 s

Vollautomat

Dose: 10–11 g
Yield: 28–31 g
Temperature: 93–94 °C

Strength medium, temperature high. If your machine only allows a smaller cup volume, set the coffee dose smaller as well. Otherwise the coffee will be too strong.

Gentle rather than fast
A roast in which the delicate aromas come to the fore. Large roasteries roast hotter and shorter, which darkens the bean and strips its nuances.

Ich finde den Kaffee sehr gut im Geschmack

Ich finde den Kaffee sehr gut im Geschmack, was mir aufgefallen ist, dass ich die Menge des Kaffeepulvers reduzieren musste, im Verleich zu meiner vorherigen Sorte, um einen für mich guten Geschmack hin zu bekommen. Selbst kalt bleibt der Geschmack erhalten. Der Kaffee ist mild ohne übertriebene Röst-Aromen.

Questions & answers

If your question is not listed, write to us. We reply personally, usually on the same business day.

Ask your own question →

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?

We roast in Vöhringen and only fill your bag immediately before shipping. Until then the roast batch is stored sealed in bulk packaging. The roast date is printed on every package. After 10 to 14 days of resting the sweetness and body are just right, after that the coffee remains aromatic for about four months.

Whole bean or ground?

Both. In addition to whole bean we grind on request for portafilter (fine), drip coffee maker, moka pot or French Press (coarse). Freshly ground tastes best, ground coffee loses aroma faster.

What package sizes are available?

250 g and 500 g, most varieties also as 1 kg. The larger the package, the cheaper the price per kilo. We display the price per kilo directly at the size selection.

Is the coffee really organic?

Yes. All our coffees are EU organic certified, Naturgold and Naturharmonie are additionally Demeter certified. The responsible organic control body is shown on each product page in the bean profile, together with the note non-EU agriculture.

Can I get the coffee on a subscription?

Yes. With a subscription you save 10 % compared to a single order. You set delivery frequency and quantity directly at purchase.
