Journey Around The Equator And Experience Their Lands With Five New Nespresso Master Origin Collections

Journey Around The Equator And Experience Their Lands With Five New Nespresso Master Origin Collections

Lay of the land

Ever since the first concept store launched in 2000, Nespresso has been growing; and today, they are a brand that is present in 76 countries with over 700 boutiques worldwide (end of 2017). Most of this growth came on the backs of their core collection of coffees, recognizable not just by the iconic shape of their pod or names like the Ristretto or Arpeggio but also the colours in which each blend is represented.

However, for the more adventurous coffee drinkers, it is the special edition coffees from Nespresso that pique their interest. And this time around they are back, offering a new Master Origin collection that takes the consumer on a journey around the equator, highlighting distinct coffee sensations all inspired by the land.

Nespresso Master Origin Ethiopia

In Ethiopia water is not always readily available and so regions like Western Ethiopia have traditionally cultivated more unwashed and wilder tasting coffees. This dry method involves taking whole coffee cherries and spreading them out to be cradled in the intense tropical sun. The challenge here is that without the washing process, there is no chance to easily and mechanically sort out unripe or defective beans. Thus, the quality of the cherries have to be ensured from the very beginning.

Taste: As you can imagine, keeping the fruit around the seeds adds layers of sweetness and ripe, dry flavours to the bean resulting in a very aromatic cup with delicate hints of flowers and unexpected wild notes of musk.
