Do you know what traceability is and why the information on the label of a coffee package is important?

-

Traceability is like a letter of presentation of the coffee, where you have all the relevant information such as its origin, variety, altitude at which it was planted, pulping and fermentation process, and even the tasting notes.

But why is this information so important? Traceability allows you to know the history behind each coffee bean in addition to recognizing the efforts of the farm and the producer, fostering a commitment to transparency, more sustainable practices and a fairer production chain.

For this reason, whenever you purchase a specialty coffee, always check the label to ensure that it has the necessary traceability. This information will not only give you a better understanding of what you are tasting, but will also allow you to discover which coffees you like best.

If you want to become an expert on the varieties of coffee, what differentiates them and how they affect a cup, do not hesitate to sign up for our sensory workshop.
