4. Try the new Nespresso Reviving Origins capsules
On the surface, you’ll know that Nespresso has debuted three seasonal coffee blends: the new Amaha awe Uganda, Tamuka mu Zimbabwe, and Esperanza de Colombia. But Reviving Origins is actually part of Nespresso’s AAA Sustainable Quality Programme and is an initiative aimed to rebuild sustainable livelihoods for coffee farmers in regions affected by adversities such as conflict, economic hardship, and environmental disasters. In doing so, it’ll also help preserve the future of some of the world’s rarest, most exquisite coffee beans.
To start off with, the new Amaha awe Uganda (‘Hope of Uganda’ in Lhukonzo, a local language in Uganda) is a single-origin coffee with an eight intensity, notes of sandalwood, and elegant florals, as well as a medium acidity and body. Tamuka mu Zimbabwe, on the other hand, features complex fruitiness (think red berries, currants and grapes!) and bright acidity, making it ideal for a Latte Macchiato. Last, but not least, Esperanza de Colombia is mild and light in acidity and carries aromas of yellow fruits.
Nespresso’s new Reviving Origins capsules are available at RM34 per sleeve of ten capsules. You can purchase them in-store or online.
