A day that begins with a cup of coffee can sometimes lead to a creative idea, sometimes an inner pause, and sometimes a refined conversation. However, one of the most important elements that determines the flavor of this experience is undoubtedly the coffee bean. Each bean carries a unique story, from its soil and climate to its processing method and roasting profile.

At Imesta Coffee, we approach these stories not just as tastes, but as a culture of life. So, what does each bean represent? Which character suits which palates? Let's explore together.

Arabica or Robusta?

The first distinction begins here.
Arabica has a softer, more complex, and more aromatic texture. It is generally grown at higher altitudes and has fruity and floral notes.
Robusta , on the other hand, has a harder, more caffeinated, and stronger body. It's generally preferred by those who prefer bitterness.

All of Imesta Coffee's blends are produced from Arabica beans. Because we believe coffee isn't just for waking up; it's for living, understanding, and feeling.

The Importance of Origin: Soil Speaks

Every country and every region brings its own unique character to coffee. Understanding this character is the first step to making the right choice:

• Colombia: Balanced body, light acidity, chocolate and red fruit notes.
  Ideal for: Daily filter coffee rituals, those seeking a smooth drink

• Kenya: Bright acidity, tropical notes such as lemon, lime, mango.
  Ideal Use: Those seeking aromatics in filter methods such as V60

• Ethiopian Limu: Grapes, red fruit and citrus.
  Ideal for: Those seeking a superior sensory experience, single origin enthusiasts

Roasting Profile: Character Chemistry

At Imesta Coffee, roasting is an art.
Every bean has its own ideal point. An over-roasted bean loses its origin character, while an under-roasted bean fails to fully release its flavor. Therefore:

• Balanced Roast: Reflects both the aromatic and body aspects of the bean in a balanced manner.
  Usage: All of Imesta's espresso and filter series are roasted in this profile.

• Special Roast: Specially adjusted for Turkish coffee; slow and balanced.
  Usage: For a rich aromatic experience with its grounds

How to Make the Right Choice?

When choosing according to palate profile, the following questions can be a guide:

Conclusion: Choice Is Not Just About Taste, But Also About Attitude

Coffee isn't just a taste; it's an aesthetic, sensory, and cultural choice. At Imesta Coffee, we embody not only quality but also meaning in every bean. While palates may differ, our respect for good coffee is unified.
