HOUSE ROAST
Medium body
Vee’s 'House Roast' is a well balanced Gourmet Coffee blend from a variety of best quality Arabica coffees grown in Latin America. The bright, rounded flavours and a medium body make the House Blend so inviting and easy to love. We call it a starter coffee. We would recommend our House Blend to get accustomed and acclimated before introducing a range of stronger flavours. Vee’s 'House Roast' is mellow and velvety with sweet and nutty overtones – an excellent choice for breakfast and „everyday“. Best for: Filter coffee
GOURMET ROAST
Full/medium body
Vee’s 'Gourmet Roast' significantly has more body and flavour compared with our 'House Roast'. However, Vee’s 'Gourmet Roast' may be too strong as a starter coffee, if you are so far accustomed with light body industrially roasted coffee only. Our 'Gourmet Roast' is a well balanced, full to medium body blend of coffees from Latin America and Indonesia of outstanding quality. We only use Arabica varieties cultivated at high altitudes, so called Grand-Cru-Coffees that develop harder beans and contain more water to take the higher heat during the deeper roasting procedure at higher temperature. At high altitudes beans mature slowly, becoming denser, harder and packed with flavour – perfect for retaining power and complexity under the intense heat of a medium to deep roast. Vee’s 'Gourmet-Roast' is one of Vee’s best selling blends with long lasting fruity flavours dominated by roasted nuts and chocolate. In addition Vee’s 'Gourmet Roast' is also suitable to be prepared as an excellent Espresso, Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato.
Best for: Filter coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
GRAND-CRU ROAST
Full body
Vee’s is offering good, better, best – 'House Roast', 'Gourmet Roast' and 'Grand Cru Roast'. 'Grand Cru Roast' is composed of a variety of “reserve” coffees harvested in different years. Young and bright coffees are blended together with coffees aged (monsooned) for a couple of years. The coffee beans supposed to be aged are matured for a couple of years under monsoon climate condition by exposing them to warm, moist air during the rainy season. As the beans age, through natural fermentation the beans are completely losing their acidity and the colour of the raw coffee is changing from green to brown. The typical aroma is deeper, sweeter, more complex and resembles of maple syrup. Vee’s 'Grand Cru Roast' is a medium to deep roast, actually one of the most delicious coffee blends we can imagine. Full-bodied with complex notes of roasted nuts, chocolate, tropical wood and nuances of forest floor like moss, autumn leaves and wild mushrooms. In addition, Vee’s 'Grand Cru Roast' can also be prepared as an excellent Espresso, Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. Best for: Filter coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
ARABIAN ROAST
Full/medium body
Vee’s very unique 'Arabian Roast' is carefully composed of elegant medium to light body coffees from Ethiopia with powerful, full body coffees from Arabia and Kenya resulting in a very balanced and uniquely fruity blend, exposing the typical spectrum of African coffee flavours in a single blend. A lovely blend, containing all the fruity aromas of the Orient with a fragrance of a flower bouquet and jasmine – medium to deep roast. Best for: Filter coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
ARABIAN MOCKA JAVA
Full body
Arabian Mocha – Java is the most traditional blend, invented in the 17th century, when coffee was primarily grown in Yemen and on Batavia (Java). Although coffee became widely available over time from other regions Arabian Mocha – Java remains one of the most popular blends around the world. The combination of fruitiness from Mocha and nutty, peaty flavours from Java adds nuances of bittersweet chocolate flavour to one of the most famous blends in the world – deep roast.
Best for: Filter coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
FRENCH ROAST
Full/medium body
'French Roast' is our darkest roast and named after a roasting technique introduced in France in the 19th century as a strong breakfast coffee drunken half and half with hot milk. Dark roasted, sparkling, ebony coloured coffee beans mysteriously gleaming in the sunlight. For our darkest Grand Cru blend, we select only top-quality Arabica coffee from the highest altitudes of prime Latin American growing regions and East Africa that can withstand higher heat during the longer lasting roasting procedure that not all beans can handle. At high altitudes beans mature slowly, becoming denser, harder and packed with flavour — perfect for retaining power and complexity under the intense heat of a deep roast. 'French Roast' is not a coffee for the cautious, but for those who embrace the powerful taste, pronounced smoky overtones, and the pleasant bite of a dark roast.
Best for: Filter coffee French style
VIENNESE ROAST

Best for: Filter coffee Viennese style, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
BREAKFAST ROAST
Medium body
We have been asked frequently to develop a medium bodied blend without compromising on the aroma, and which can be drunken more than one cup for breakfast. We decided on a blend of high grown giant been coffees which can be roasted at lower heat. Giant beans with less curvature pop up in a roaster at lower temperature while small beans with higher curvature require more heat. The most suitable giant beans are cultivated in Central-America. The coffee varieties are named (1) Arabica-Maragogype (elephant beans, an Arabica-Typica mutation discovered 1870), (2) Arabica-Pacamara (a hybrid of Arabica-Red-Maragogype and Arabica-Pacas (an Arabica-Bourbon mutation), 1958) and (3) Arabica-Typica. We believe that we have chosen the most suitable Arabica varieties for a very aromatic breakfast coffee to be drunken black or white. Best for: Filter coffee
