Caravela Café and Bistro, after completing almost 5 successful years as one of the highest rated cafes in Goa, has now launched its own coffee brand ‘Latin Quarter’ in Goa along with the installation of a state-of-the-art Coffee Roaster for roasting green beans, grinding and packing its own line of coffee. ‘Latin Quarter’, is a Single Estate Arabica.
The green beans used at the café are single estate beans sourced from Coorg. The roaster and the café are managed by Carlos and Cyrus Noronha, both brothers who are trained to run the roaster and other coffee related activities.
There will be one type to start with -a medium dark roast single estate Arabica which will be available in bean and powder form at the café initially, and will be available in most stores in Goa within a month. The beans come from Coorg, India’s coffee capital. The green beans are then roasted in small lots to preserve all their flavors. With notes from fruity to earthy to chocolaty, this coffee is ideal by itself or with milk and can be enjoyed anytime of the day.
Carlos is now working on creating unique roasts of Arabica and Robusta which will appeal to all coffee lovers while Cyrus is working on a blend of Arabica and Robusta focusing on filter coffee.
