With the fifth edition of the Berlin Coffee Festival 2019 we wanted to show how small-scale farms and roasteries can actually make a difference. We’ve been introducing the Berlin Batch: Coffee that is individually roasted by the partaking roasteries, but comes from a single farm – and we've been welcoming farmer Steven Vargas during the festival – and has been jointly imported and traded in full transparency.

Origin of the Berlin Batch is the Don Sabino Micromill in Costa Rica. For the Berlin Batch, three slightly different coffee varieties have been selected by our partner Cafe Imports Europe for the roasters to choose from – throughout the festival visitors could taste them in many Berlin cafés!
