Café Intención Coffee: Fairtrade & Organic

The brand is part of Darboven, a long-established European coffee company. Café Intención combines a clear sustainability story with accessible flavour profiles for both home use and the hospitality sector.

Origin and provenance

The beans come from small farming families who work together in co-operatives. These co-operatives meet strict organic and Fairtrade standards. The origin is fully traceable, from farm to cup.

• 100% Arabica beans from Honduras and Peru
• Certified organic and Fairtrade
• Grown by project co-operatives of smallholder farmers
• Transparent chain from origin to packaging

Who is it for?

Café Intención is for anyone who makes conscious choices. Whether you brew at home or serve coffee in a hospitality business, the brand offers options suited to different situations and machines.

Mindful coffee drinkers value the combination of flavour and sustainability. Hospitality professionals choose Café Intención for its consistent quality and recognisable story they can share with guests.

At home

For home use there are coffee beans, ground coffee and coffee pods available. Café Intención suits espresso machines, filter coffee makers and pod machines.

Hospitality

Hospitality professionals will find a brand with a strong narrative. Guests recognise the Fairtrade label and appreciate the organic background. That makes the brand a natural choice for cafés, restaurants and canteens.

How to choose the right Café Intención variant?

Café Intención comes in three main variants: Aromatico, Intensivo and Espresso Intensivo. Each has its own flavour profile and suits a different brewing method, so you can always find a coffee that matches your taste.

Café Intención Aromatico

Aromatico has a balanced, aromatic character. The flavour is mild and approachable, with a gentle finish. This variant suits filter coffee and espresso machines that produce a lighter cup.

Café Intención Intensivo

Intensivo is powerful with subtle depth. The flavour is fuller than Aromatico, but not overpowering. Suitable for those who enjoy a robust filter coffee or a strong crema.

Café Intención Espresso Intensivo

Espresso Intensivo is full-bodied and intense. This variant is specially developed for espresso machines. The beans deliver a rich crema and a pronounced espresso character.

• Aromatico: balanced and aromatic, mild in flavour
• Intensivo: powerful and subtle, for filter coffee and crema
• Espresso Intensivo: full and intense, ideal for espresso
• Coffee pods: convenient for pod machines, same organic quality
• Ground coffee: ready to use in filter machines

Sustainability & Fairtrade certification

Café Intención carries the Fairtrade label and is certified organic. These are not empty promises: the brand has worked with Fairtrade principles since 1993 and is a pioneer in this field within the coffee sector.

For Café Intención, sustainable coffee means more than a label. The brand actively invests in projects that support farmers and the environment.

Shade tree project

A notable initiative is the shade tree project. Trees are planted on and around coffee farms. Shade trees protect the soil, reduce water needs and provide habitat for wildlife. In this way Café Intención contributes to climate protection and biodiversity.

Organic cultivation

Coffee plants are grown without synthetic inputs. Organic farming protects the soil and the ecosystem around the farms. For farmers this means a healthier working environment and a more sustainable income.

• Fairtrade pioneer since 1993
• Certified organic
• Shade tree project for climate and biodiversity
• Fair prices for farmers via co-operatives
• Transparent provenance for every batch of coffee
