Astero’s Organic Marathone Cream

Description

In the countryside where he trains for marathons, Haile Gebreselassie , an Ethiopian legend, cultivates more than just speed and endurance. With the same care and dedication he devotes to his sport, he tends his coffee plants. His coffee, grown on the very same forest soil of the “Masha sustainable coffee farm,” which has already witnessed numerous world records, is more than just a product – it is a reflection of his love for the land, his respect for nature, and his deep connection with the people around him.

Every cup of Astero’s Marathon Coffee Crema is traceable and tells the story of Ethiopian marathon runners. Haile understands the importance of a legacy—whether on the track or in the fields. Haile Coffee isn’t just about the beans—it’s about the journey, the perseverance, and the love he puts into his work, both as a marathon runner and a coffee farmer. The land he calls home is not only rich in gold but also carries within it the spirit of a true champion—and the origins of the marathon world records, with or without shoes, Abebe Bikila .

Astero’s Marathon Crema is the unique combination of passion and dedication that Haile Gebreselassie brings to both his marathon running and his coffee production.

What does Astero’s Coffee’s Masha coffee taste like?

Our Masha coffee from Haile impresses with its full-bodied, sweet flavor in a truly unique way. A note of fresh citrus fruits and green apple takes center stage. The consistent base is the aroma of dark chocolate.

How is Masha coffee processed?

The red, ripe coffee cherries are picked by hand and sun-dried along with the pulp, which gives the coffee a sweet and strong flavor.

In our roastery, the coffee is freshly roasted daily using a gentle drum roasting process to preserve its aroma and natural sweetness.

In addition to EU and US organic certification, the particularly sustainable cultivation of the beans is also recognized by the Rainforest Alliance and UTZ .

Which preparation method do we recommend?

Our Masha coffee from Haile is suitable for all common coffee brewing methods. Due to its fruity notes, we particularly recommend filter methods such as V60, Chemex , and Aeropress . It is also excellent for fully automatic coffee machines and unfolds its aroma beautifully in a French press.
