Our most iconic coffee!
Hunkute has been our starting point and so has been the philosophy of Joanna Alm and Drop Coffee. Direct trade with utmost focus on transparency, quality and sustainability for each coffee. Roasted to present each harvest with as little disturbance as anyhow possible while adjusting the brewing methods towards the coffee and not the other way around.
With that very coffee we stoudt on a little market, trying to communicate what an exciting world we have just discovered back in 2014. Serving Hunkute as a concentrate (espresso) in little glas tints to let it cool down a bit quicker and having barely any crema with the wide shape of such. As you can imagine, not a very successful one from the back of an old van in a small sleepy town in northern Germany. It was very clear from that very first day of serving Hunkute. Communication is the greatest challenge, yet the strongest tool to open up a new world and grab the chance to make a change.
That's exactly what we did and will do for many years to come.

I hope you enjoy this very special coffee that we have been brewing and celebrating every single season!
