The illy Decaf coffee beans have an intensity of 7 and are relatively strong in flavour. They have a medium to dark roast, which gives them a distinctive Italian character. Some customers indicate that the roast can be slightly darker than with other coffee brands – ideal for those who enjoy a rich, full-bodied espresso.

This Bai Mudan comes from Oothu in Southwest India and consists of large tea leaves with many young, unopened leaf buds. The plants are minimally and mainly hand-processed, which ensures an authentic and pure white tea flavour.

Yes, these illy Decaf beans are specially selected and blended to retain the distinctive illy flavour, even with a strongly reduced caffeine content. Customers indicate that the taste is 'just as delicious' as the non-decaffeinated variant and that you make no compromises on aroma and experience.

This tea offers a unique interplay of jasmine blossom and green tea, which makes it known for its floral aroma and mild yet full flavour. This is experienced as very pleasant, as is also evident from customer reviews.

We scent this green tea in an artisanal way twice with fresh jasmine blossom during the production process. This gives the tea a natural floral fragrance and a full, mild aroma without the addition of artificial flavourings.

Our Passionnel loose green tea contains, among other ingredients, green tea (from China), Earl Grey, rose petals, mistletoe and goji berries. This unique blend creates an aromatic and fresh-floral tea with a subtle, gentle flavour.

The illy Decaf coffee beans are packed airtight in an iconic illy tin, allowing the beans to retain their freshness and aroma for a long time. This also makes them suitable for longer storage without loss of quality.

With the Gene Café CBR101 coffee roaster, you can roast between 50 and 250 grams of green coffee beans at a time. We recommend using 200 grams each time for the most consistent result. Fewer beans will shorten the roasting time, while more beans will lengthen it – keep this in mind if you want to maintain a fixed roasting profile.

After each roast, we recommend removing the loose chaff from the roaster. Every 20 roasts, take out the chaff collector and clean it with warm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly before placing it back. Any greasiness usually does not affect the quality of the roast, but in case of severe contamination, cleaning is important for safety.

Yes, we recommend always using the coffee roaster under supervision. It is important to be present during roasting, both for safety reasons (fire hazard) and to hear crucial moments, such as the first and second ‘crack’ of your coffee beans. This way, you have full control over the roasting process and achieve the best result.

We recommend using one teaspoon (approx. 2 grams) of Passionnel per cup and water at around 80°C. Allow the tea to steep for 2 to 3 minutes for a fresh and delicate flavour. If you prefer a more intense taste, let the tea steep a little longer.

Our Inspiración green tea has a soft, full flavour thanks to a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and especially ginger. The ginger is clearly noticeable and provides a warming effect. The tea is experienced as not bitter and wonderfully fragrant.
