VIENNA, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indulge in the
exquisite taste of Julius Meinl's latest limited-edition
coffee, Burundi Gakenke 100% Arabica, crafted to celebrate
International Coffee Day 2024. Each sip of the single-origin coffee
reveals a burst of blood orange flavour, complemented by subtle
notes of black tea, and finished with the rich sweetness of
caramelised brown sugar.
Sourced from the renowned Gakenke Station in Burundi's Kayanza province, the natural
processed Red Bourbon variety is
handpicked and sorted before being dried as a whole cherry,
imparting a vibrant floral fragrance, rich sweetness, and fruity
flavour.
Gakenke Station represents over 1700 smallholder farmers and is
operated by the esteemed Burundi-based company Greenco. Greenco
provides agrotechnical support and programmes designed to improve
the socio-economic and environmental conditions within the
community. Part of Julius Meinl's
The Originals Limited Edition Series, this specialty coffee
represents the finest in coffee craftsmanship and a commitment to
sustainable practices, enhancing the well-being of coffee
communities for future generations.
Julius Meinl's The Originals
Limited Edition series features coffees selected from the freshest
micro-lot crops, following Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)
standards and roasted in small batches at Julius Meinl's
headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
The Burundi Gakenke coffee received a notable score of 86 on the
SCA scale.
"Every year on October 1st,
coffee lovers around the world celebrate the beverage that has
become a cornerstone of our daily rituals. Whether it's a pause for
reflection, a connection with others, or a spark of creativity, a
cup of coffee holds meaning in every moment. This International
Coffee Day, our new Limited Edition Burundi Specialty Coffee offers
our partners the opportunity to provide their customers with a
truly exceptional coffee experience."

Cascara: A unique coffee-meets-tea experience
As the demand for coffee grows, so does interest in innovative
coffee-based drinks. For HoReCa partners looking to offer their
guests a sustainable coffee experience that goes beyond the bean,
Julius Meinl offers two organic
cascara teas: Activitea Cascara Organic Herbal Loose Tea and the
new Intensive Cascara Lemon Lime Oolong/Green Tea Bags, launching
for International Coffee Day.
The name derives from the Spanish cáscara, meaning
"husk", referring to the dried outer layer of the coffee cherry.
Cascara is typically discarded as waste or composted, but its
recent rise in popularity provides coffee farmers with an
additional income stream. When brewed, cascara produces a sweet,
fruity tisane with a caffeine content that's higher than black tea,
but milder than coffee. Known to have antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties, cascara is a healthy and sustainable
beverage.
Julius Meinl's premium cascara
products are certified organic, with cascara sourced from
Peru, and can be enjoyed as a hot
or cold beverage. Find out more about Julius Meinl's product and service offerings at
