Origin
100% Organically Grown
Ducale’s Origin is 100% organic meaning no chemicals or harmful pesticides were used in the cultivation and manufacturing of the coffee.
Taste characteristics.
When you first open a bag of Origin you will be overcome with the sweet aroma of blueberry, which is extended into the cup along with a light underlining mocha sweetness. As a natural processed coffee you will find the body full, the acidity well pronounced and balanced. The mouth feel is thick with a long lasting candy aftertaste. Origin is best enjoyed as an espresso yet as a milk-based beverage the fruit notes and sweetness really cut through.
100% Arabica delivers our unique taste.
Selecting the finest 100% Arabica beans from the one plantation ensures that Ducale provides a consistently high standard of quality. Arabica beans have a richness and balance that deliver an exotic and complex coffee.
Sourced from the same platation for flavour and consistency.
The beans from Ducale’s Origin have been sourced from a single farm in the Harrar region of Ethiopia, renowned for producing the best naturally processed Arabica coffee. An important part of our selection involves ensuring that the farm employs sustainable and responsible processes.
Breaking down the traditional way of buying coffee.
We look at how we can connect directly with the farm or where our coffee comes from and how we can remove the middlemen, buyers and sellers. When we buy our coffee we not only look at the cup quality but at the eco standards it is grown under, the social standards that its workers are treated to and the relationship Ducale can build, so we can tell their story to you.
A better deal for third world producers
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
Buying products certified with the FAIRTRADE Label means farmers, workers and their communities have a chance to improve their future.
The FAIRTRADE Label on our Origin blend is your independent guarantee that our coffee has been produced and traded according to international Fairtrade standards. www.fairtrade.com.au.
