Real or imagined – once you’ve tasted it, you won’t forget it. Pink Elephant is the first Burundian coffee from Samurai Shoelace: a true light-roasted African coffee with baked-apple and honey notes, lively acidity and a long finish. Like every coffee in our range, \u003cstrong\u003ePink Elephant\u003c\/strong\u003e is a genuine \u003cstrong\u003especialty coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e – single-origin, traceable and roasted for flavour, then sealed into a Nespresso® compatible capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you’ll love Pink Elephant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA limited Curiosity Series coffee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Elephant is part of the Samurai Shoelace \u003cstrong\u003eCuriosity Series\u003c\/strong\u003e – small, limited lots chosen because they surprised the roasters. Only a limited amount of this coffee was produced, and once this batch is gone, it won’t be back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFruity, sweet and lively\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect the bright, characterful cup that Africa’s natural coffees are loved for: baked apple and honey sweetness, lively acidity and a long, chocolatey finish. It’s light and lively without ever feeling sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight roast, full caffeine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t let the light roast fool you – Pink Elephant has no less caffeine than the other coffees in our range, so you get the same lift with a brighter, fruitier taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLovely black or with milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a black espresso, brew it on the \u003cstrong\u003eshort button (25–30 ml)\u003c\/strong\u003e for a pleasantly light cup with a long, chocolatey aftertaste. It also makes an ideal morning milk coffee – try one part coffee to two parts milk, or two capsules with double milk for a proper start to the day. Taste it without sugar first – it’s naturally sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA softer long-coffee trick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFancy something different? Brew a short espresso, take the capsule out, then run hot water from the machine into the same cup. You’ll get a softer, almost tea-like long coffee with the same flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA coffee that changes lives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Elephant comes from the hills of the Kiyonza region in northern Burundi, home to the newly built Kiyonza washing station. Local farmers used to rely on occasional travelling buyers, with no steady partner or secure market. The new station changed that: farmers now deliver freshly picked, ripe cherries straight after harvest, receive year-round support from the station’s experts and can raise new seedlings in its nursery – and you can taste the difference in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste \u0026amp; aroma profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light – a true light-roasted African coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baked apple and honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with a chocolatey aftertaste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest enjoyed:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a short espresso (25–30 ml), as a morning milk coffee, or as a softer long coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; sourcing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burundi – Kiyonza, Kirundo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Several smallholder farms around the Kiyonza washing station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural – the region’s strong sunshine and low rainfall make it ideal for dry processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted \u0026amp; encapsulated:\u003c\/strong\u003e In-house by Samurai Shoelace in Budapest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePackaging, compatibility \u0026amp; storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach box contains 10 Nespresso® Original compatible capsules made from 100% recyclable aluminium.
