Fair coffee stain on the Pötschen: Roastry enthusiastic Bad Ischl!

Fair coffee stain on the Pötschen: Roastry enthusiastic Bad Ischl!

In the small town of Bad Ischl, an interesting business has established itself that combines the passion for coffee and social Engagement. Since 2012, when the owner visited the world's largest coffee fair in Vienna, the search for the right beans and mixtures has been the heart of her company-a small roasting in an old Renaissance curve on the Pötschen Pass. Here coffee is not only seen as a drink, but as a luxury food, similar to noble wine. The goal: honest prices and the support of the coffee farmers in Brazil, Mexico and India through fair payment.

The roasting estimates the quality of its products and pays attention to the packaging: degradable packers made of rice paper with an aromave style ensure that the coffee stays fresh. On the back of the packaging you can also find helpful information on preparation. Cooperation with Pro Mente for attaching the labels shows that not only attention is paid to taste, but also for social aspects. In the shop on Kreuzplatz in Bad Ischl, brands such as L’Occitane, Luis Trenker, Opinel and Jieldé are available.

Above all, the trend towards "Clean Labels", i.e. biological and additive-free products, as well as the growing popularity of cappuccino types, which have a growth rate of 5.3%, are noteworthy. In North America there are the most popular flavors for coffee in nutty flavors that have increased by 25.6%. In Europe, too, the joy of innovation is high in terms of the development of new products.

The Baltic Taste Award celebrates this, which takes place during the annual Riga Food Mass in Latvia, high-quality regional food.
