Your expert A question about this product?

When does your coffee reveal its full potential?

At Chronic., our coffees are roasted every day. We always try to send you coffees after a short resting period. But sometimes, victims of our own success, they may arrive very fresh.

After roasting, coffee evolves naturally. It gradually releases the accumulated carbon dioxide, which allows the cup to find its balance. Notes that are too bright or pronounced soften, giving way to more precision, sweetness and complexity. Letting coffee rest means giving it the time to fully express itself.

We recommend a minimum rest of 15 days after roasting. For our seasonal and exceptional coffees, the ideal tasting window is generally between 3 and 6 weeks after roasting.

The best way to brew it

Some coffees reveal their aromas best with a particular brewing method — that’s the recommendation we’re sharing here. Of course, you’re free to experiment with other methods, and we love receiving your feedback.

Our top brew

Espresso

In our opinion, this is where this coffee truly shines — but there are no rules when it comes to taste.

Meet the Producer

COOPERATIVAAGRARIA CAFETALERA VALLE ALTO LTDA AND RUBANGA COOPERATIVE SOCIETY LTD

Two cooperatives, two stories that have nothing in common.

Valle Alto, in Peru, was born from an idea by students. Young people from Lonya Grande whose parents were already growing coffee, brought together through a training programme in sustainable agriculture in response to climate disruption. The organisation was created in 2016, then restructured as a coffee cooperative in 2022. It is led by Jheny Fernandez and works first and foremost with young producers.

That’s rare. In many coffee-growing regions, young people leave for the city and the average age of producers keeps rising year after year. Here, they’re the ones running the cooperative. The coffee is certified organic and Fairtrade.

Rubanga, in Uganda, is in a different league. Founded in 1986 in the Mitooma district, it now brings together more than 20,000 members across 421 producer groups, nearly half of them women and a third young people. At this scale, traceability becomes a real issue, the plots are geolocated in their database, from field to container.

The cooperative is certified organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance, and handles its robusta with the standards usually reserved for a specialty arabica. That’s still uncommon, and that’s exactly why we went looking for it.

A terroir, an identity

PERU AND UGANDA, LONYA GRANDE, AMAZONAS (PE) - MITOOMA (UG)

04PM brings together two countries that don’t have much in common, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.

On the arabica side, we’re in northern Peru, in the Amazonas region, around Lonya Grande. A mountain area wedged between the dry slopes that run down to the Pacific and the Amazonian lowlands. The plots sit between 1,500 and 1,850 metres, on clay-loam soils, and the cool climate stretches the harvest from March to September. The cherries don’t all ripen at the same time, so the same trees are picked several times. What comes out of it is washed, clean, with that round sweetness that forms the base of the blend.

The farms are small, just a few hectares, and rarely planted with coffee alone. Banana trees, avocado trees and cacao grow on the same plots. A way to make a living from coffee without depending entirely on its market price.

On the robusta side, we head to Uganda, to the Mitooma district, in the southwest of the country. Uganda is one of the rare places where robusta grows in the wild, it’s at home there. Except here it’s grown at 1,600 metres, an altitude usually associated with arabica. The bean ripens more slowly than in the lowlands, and you can taste it: less harshness, less blunt bitterness, more roasted hazelnut and cacao.

It’s this unusual altitude that makes it possible to put 30% robusta in the cup without it turning aggressive. The body and crema come from Uganda, the sweetness and balance from Peru.

The art of balance in the late afternoon

When the clock strikes 4pm and you feel like having a coffee, Chronic. 04PM is there with elegance. This coffee blend , organic and fair trade, reveals all the passion of our Swiss artisanal roasting, combining 70% Arabica for finesse and 30% Robusta for character.

Born from the meeting of three exceptional origins, Nicaragua, Brazil and Uganda, this blend reveals notes of chocolate and vanilla that gently coat the palate without overwhelming the senses. Our master roaster shaped this profile with care, creating a smooth coffee perfectly balanced for your late-day breaks.

Versatility and artisanal excellence

The versatility of 04PM stands out, whether you prefer your organic coffee beans or choose our ground coffee ready to use, each grind is calibrated to bring out the essence of this blend. Excellent in an automatic machine as well as espresso, it also shines in a moka pot or French Press.

This organic and Fairtrade coffee reflects our commitment, offering excellence without compromise, roasted with passion in our workshop in French-speaking Switzerland for authentic, mindful coffee moments.

So you never run out at snack time, discover our coffee subscription.
