    About the coffee

    Arnaud hatte zuvor eine andere Farm in der Provinz Pichincha namens Las Tolas gestartet, die sich als Herausforderung erwies, da exotische Bäume Schwierigkeiten hatten, mit den einheimischen Pflanzen in der Region zu konkurrieren. Mit Terrazas del Pisque, benannt nach dem benachbarten Fluss Pisque, wollte er diese Herausforderung überwinden. Es war das Ergebnis von Arnauds landwirtschaftlichem Wissen und seinen früheren Erfahrungen im Kaffeeanbau in Ecuador. Durch die Nutzung agroökologischer Prinzipien und regenerativer Landwirtschaft kultivierten Arnaud und sein Team einen besonderen Kaffee, der den 16. Platz beim ersten Cup of Excellence Wettbewerb Ecuadors belegte.

    The farm | Terrazas del Pisque

    Located just a few miles north of Quito, the bustling capital of Ecuador, is the canton of Pedro Moncayo in the Pichincha Province. This region is known for its rich volcanic soils, towering mountains, and rumbling volcanoes, making it an ideal place to cultivate coffee. At an altitude of 2,100 meters above sea level, Terrazas del Pisque is a magnificent farm situated on the edge of a highland desert. The farm was initiated 9 years ago by Arnaud Causse, a French agricultural engineer, with the intention of blending nature with coffee production.

    Arnaud previously started another farm in the Pichincha province called Las Tolas, which was a challenge to maintain as exotic trees struggled to compete with native plants in the area. He aimed to overcome this challenge with Terrazas del Pisque, named after the neighboring Pisque River, and it was the culmination of Arnaud's agricultural knowledge and his previous farming experiences in Ecuador. By utilizing agroecological principles and regenerative agriculture, Arnaud and his team cultivated a magnificent lot of coffee that won 20th place at Ecuador's first Cup of Excellence competition.

    Terrazas del Pisque is a farm that embodies the idea of working with nature to produce high-quality coffee while preserving local flora and fauna. It utilizes the natural benefits of surrounding ecosystems to provide nutrients and resources to the coffee, requiring fewer inputs and helping to rebuild the natural systems in this diverse region of Ecuador. This is Mercanta's first time purchasing an Ecuador lot, and they hope to continue supporting these remarkable farms in the future.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    – SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Rockstar

    Coffee is a fruit. This means it is naturally acidic, and contains many sugars. We roast our coffees to bring out this acidity and develop their natural sweetness.

    For us, all rare and special coffees are rockstars. We’re super proud of our diverse and extensive range of rare coffees. Geishas and other special varieties taste their best when we’re roasting them regularly and gaining experience. We are the only roasters in Germany that roast rockstars every single week, with Geisha and other rare varieties in our regular lineup.
