Like every July, the season has already begun Tour and, like every summer, we now have available the blend most special of the year.
Cycling creates its myths with endless pain and effort. With improbable situations, with exceptions. With sweat, with stifling heat, and with snow. With the riders' struggle against their rivals and against themselves.
Last season we chose the protagonists of the Tour from 1984, which was decided by just eight seconds, to represent the delicate balance between three excellent coffees. All three from Kenya.
This year, we needed an even bigger icon.
Bigger than Lemond, that Fignon and? HinaultYes. We needed to find something bigger than any great champion in the history of cycling.
The icon of the blend most special of the year, the icon of Tour 2017, and one of the most important in the history of cycling:
GALIBIER
This mountain has witnessed and judged great battles for more than a century. Bahamontes and Anquetil, Coppi and Bartali against France and the world, Ocaña and Merckx, Van Impe, Zoetemelk, Indurain, Rominger…All the greats have had to measure the slopes of this myth with a certain prudence.
To live up to this Cabbage (2,645 m.), we have introduced our favorite coffees of this season in a blend which aims to be a step beyond its origins. More acidity. More flowers. More fruit. More pleasure.
El Rodeo (Colombia, Huila. 1,760 m.), Oromia Limu (Ethiopia, 1,400/2,200 m.) and Kimathi (Kenya, Kiambu. 1,950 m.).
