That's why today's entry is about an old-fashioned coffee shop that will make you feel stuck in time.

Café L'Ambre

Once you enter this shop, you start to imagine the turntable and the old barista cleaning the table while drinkers tell their stories. The light is least, and the seats are a puffy-red cotton that makes you feel like you're in a vintage bar with pictures far away from the present.

Café L'Ambre was born as an initiative to serve a good cup of coffee, roasted by its owner. The decoration is simple because of the small place, maybe that's why it inspires a peaceful ambient.

The barista's workspace has a shelver full of particular jars with coffee beans that have been conserved and aged by years. If you want a 70's coffee cup, the barista will put down a jar and will go straight to the coffee shop owner, a 100 years old roaster! Once the beans are ready, the barista takes your order.

What Is Aged Coffee?

Aged coffee is made by a controlled process where coffee beans are marinated, like wine or fine cheese.

Back in time, before Europeans harvest coffee in their countries, they had to import the beans from India, traveling on the other side of the world. These journeys took days, even more than a week! So, when the sea air marinated the beans, their natural properties changed considerably.

The beans were packed in substantial wooden barrels that were in constant motion under the sunlight and susceptible to salt water splashes. The final result was a way too different coffee from the original. Its flavor was saltier than regular coffee, and the ocean's essence conditioned its fragrance. Although this accident led to a particular coffee product, European coffee lovers also enjoyed it, even after they started to produce coffee beans in their soil.

Now, this type of coffee was known years later as aged coffee because of their time of maturation before brewing and roasting. But it wasn't until 2014 when Nespresso brought it back to the present! This famous group launched a unique coffee that honors this vintage beverage. This process, carefully adapted, has given rise to an excellent coffee with a very different flavor profile.

Any little change in the conditions of humidity, temperature, time, atmospheric pressure, light, and oxygen could affect the final taste. That's why their Selection Vintage 2014 is the product of a technical work of years.

Nespresso team maintained the beans three years locked under strict conditions of temperature, sunlight, and air. And if that were not enough, Nespresso sell a recycling package with their aged coffee that can be developed right to the fabric once you finish grinding your coffee. This method conserves the special properties of coffee and also contributes to environment-friendly programs.

Here at Coffland Corp, we enjoy drinking coffee regardless its origin. Whether it is an accident or a well-cared experiment, what matters is the final result: a delicious beverage just for you!
