Nespresso® Professional Launches Its First Organic Coffee, Peru Organic, Part Of The Revamped Professional Origins Range

Today, Nespresso Professional announced the launch of Peru Organic, the first certified organic Nespresso coffee. The addition of Peru Organic is part of a revamp of the brand's Professional Origins coffee range, which includes three other distinctive, single-origin coffees sourced from Brazil, Guatemala and India. All four are designed for Nespresso Professional coffee machines—including the recently launched Nespresso Momento machine range which combines smart technology with intuitive features to deliver extraordinary coffee moments to any business.

All four Professional Origins coffees are sourced from carefully-selected regions within their respective countries, and they are cultivated, harvested, and processed using methods endorsed by local farmers. The result? A unique range of coffees that reflects the terroir, flavors, and traditions of their regions.

"Whether running a restaurant, serving coffee to hotel guests or ensuring office employees feel valued, we know having the highest quality, sustainably-sourced coffee matters," said Kika Buhrmann, Vice President of Nespresso Professional USA. "That's why we're always looking for new offerings for our partners, and we're immensely proud of our revamped Nespresso Professional Origins range; it blends together distinctive flavor, sustainability, and an authentic connection to these four coffee producing countries."

With the addition of Peru Organic, the Nespresso Professional coffee range is comprised of 15 unique coffees.

NESPRESSO PROFESSIONAL PERU ORGANIC

The latest Nespresso Professional Origins coffee is certified organic by both the European Union and the United States Department of Agriculture, so consumers can be sure it meets the highest standards. With an increasing number of consumers seeking organic options, Peru Organic will satisfy the US consumer with a floral, fruity, certified-organic coffee choice.

"Nespresso is excited to announce its first organic blend, Peru Organic, which is produced in collaboration with local farming communities," said Daniel Weston, Head of Sustainability at Nespresso. "Drinking organic coffee is a burgeoning lifestyle choice, which is why we've taken the time and care to craft Peru Organic. Produced in accordance with strict practices and controls across the whole supply chain, we hope our customers will enjoy the unique taste of this beautiful new organic coffee." 

To create Peru Organic, Nespresso Professional chose 450 smallholder farmers in the Cajamarca region, in northwestern Peru, nestled about 5,250 to 6,890 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains. The independent farmers in this region hand-harvest the coffee cherries and dry them in their own backyards. They also use fertilizers made from organic materials, like banana skins, and utilize native plants like guava and lucuma to naturally shade the coffee trees and protect the local flora and fauna. The floral and fruity coffee flavor is reminiscent of the landscape in these unique, subtropical highlands.

ENJOYING THE NESPRESSO PROFESSIONAL ORIGINS RANGE

"Just as the four countries differ in geography, culture, and climate, the four unique coffees in our Nespresso Professional Origins range each deliver a different aroma and flavor," Buhrmann says, "and we guide customers to the perfect cup size and milk pairing, whichever single-origin coffee best meets their clients' tastes."   

• India boasts woody notes and a punch of clove, nutmeg, and pepper, reflecting the spices growing amongst south Indian coffee trees. Recommended cup size: Espresso or ristretto
• Brazil is a delicate blend of sweet cereal notes and toasted grain. Recommended cup size: Espresso, lungo or Americano
• Guatemala is an intense, dry coffee with malty cereal notes tempered by a silky-smooth texture and botanical notes that build complexity. Recommended cup size: Espresso or lungo
• Peru Organic offers fruity acidity balanced by aromas of toasted sweet cereals. Recommended cup size: Espresso, lungo or Americano

This wide range of flavor options provides diverse coffee experiences for any Nespresso Professional customer, meaning they can better serve their clients and employees no matter their taste preferences. All four blends mix well with milk: Nespresso recommends enjoying India and Peru Organic as a latte macchiato, Guatemala as a latte, and Brazil as a cappuccino.

Nespresso BARISTA CREATIONS 2020

Cocoa Truffle

Dark and bitter cocoa flavour meets the malted cereal note of the base espresso in BARISTA CREATIONS Cocoa Truffle. It’s rich and reminiscent of dark chocolate truffles. The base espresso is a blend of the finest South American Arabicas – sweet Bourbon beans from Brazil in harmony with the washed Colombian beans. A split roast brings out the best in each to create an incredibly smooth and rounded espresso – a great match for that dark cocoa flavour. A distinct cocoa note with a touch of almond sweetness and a hint of vanilla – that’s how you’ll recognize a BARISTA CREATIONS Cocoa Truffle.

The base espresso for the BARISTA CREATIONS flavored coffees is known for being incredibly round and smooth. In this Arabica coffee blend, you’re in the good company of the finest South American coffees – really rounded and smooth Brazilian Bourbon Arabica beans in harmony with washed Colombian Arabica. The cocoa flavour rounds out this blend even more – you get that familiar rich, velvety taste warming those roasted coffee aromas.

ROASTING

Split roast, the Brazilian coffee is lightly roasted to keep it smooth and with all its malted cereal notes intact, while the majority of the Colombian coffee beans get a short roast to release all their finer aromatics. A fine grind adds a glimmer of intensity to this harmonious coffee.

Cyber Risk Surveillance: A Case Study of Singapore

Cyber risk is an emerging source of systemic risk in the financial sector, and possibly a macro-critical risk too. It is therefore important to integrate it into financial sector surveillance. This paper offers a range of analytical approaches to assess and monitor cyber risk to the financial sector, including various approaches to stress testing. The paper illustrates these techniques by applying them to Singapore. As an advanced economy with a complex financial system and rapid adoption of fintech, Singapore serves as a good case study. We place our results in the context of recent cybersecurity developments in the public and private sectors, which can be a reference for surveillance work.

Legatum Institute: The Africa Prosperity Report 2019-2020

The Legatum Institute’s Africa Prosperity Report quantifies prosperity across each African nation and tracks its evolution over the past decade.

• Prosperity in Africa is at its highest ever level, and 43 countries have improved in the last decade, though the divergence between the top and bottom ranked countries has increased.

• Each region of the continent has improved, with East Africa seeing the most improvement.
• Strong personal freedoms underpin rising prosperity, as seen in countries such as Togo.
• Social wellbeing has improved consistently over the last 10 years, with health and education standards rising, poverty rates falling, and living conditions improving.

• The most important underlying driver of improvements in prosperity over the last decade has been a strengthening of institutions.
• Microeconomic factors and social wellbeing have improved across the continent, even among countries that have declined in their overall prosperity.
• If all African countries were to replicate the high performance of the most prosperous countries on the continent, they would rank 38th in the world.
