ander | filter cacao
'Other bean. Same routine'. With this clear statement ander has baristas & coffee lovers explore a whole new drinking experience. The first ever filter cacao, that slow brews like your favorite coffee routines.
Do you have a soft spot for filter brewing your specialty coffees? Like to take that Esperanza from Costa Rica further with some V60 switch recipes or take the back seat while your favorite Ethiopian washed Heirloom (suggested by your (fellow) barista) is dripping down the Moccamaster?
You might want to add ander's filter cacao to your brewing experience.
Inspired by the exploring nature of specialty coffee roasters and baristas, we at ander developed a technique to ground single origin cacao beans to the exact classification for almost all slow brew styles.
We only work with transparently sourced cacao beans, and apply a light roast to showcase the defined flavor of origin.
So coffee lovers can discover the great similarities between both cacao & coffee beans. Exploring a second hot beverage, sharing specialty DNA, hardware, brew recipes & origin experiences. And a whole new set of tastes & aromas.
One of our first filter roasts is a single origin coming from the isle of St-Vincent in the Caribbean. The Criollo variety cacao beans are fermented for 6 days (anaerobic, then aerobic) and the sun-dried in drying houses for on average 8 days. Expect an expressive profile, with notes of banana, rum and cane sugar. Citrusy at the start and quite dry in the finish.
This innovation follows the clear industry & customer preference for clean, transparent drinking experiences. The trend to control caffeine intake, but to get a functional drink with a natural source of energy, without sugars or additives. Filter cacao is as good as caffeine-free, but packed with theobromine, a natural long-lasting steady kick of energy without coffee jitters, so no moderation is needed. Making this beverage a good choice the clock round.
The light roast on the other hand retains all nutrients & antioxidants. Creating a new option for a healthy, pure choice in line with the specialty coffee experience.
With the filter cacao from ander baristas get the possibility to expand their menu options & revenue opportunities, with a drink fully aligned with their philosophy, skillful métier and specialty coffee standards. Other bean. Same routine? Give in to your exploring nature.
