Worldwide, more than 130 million of 60-kg bags of coffee are produced, but only a small percentage of the total amount is fine coffee. Fine coffee unveils its origin. The strong personality of its taste allows you to follow the track to its birthplace.

Fine coffe is influenced by so many factors: soil, altitude, humidity and sunshine and rain ... The altitude is crucial to cultivate coffee with great chances of becoming a grand cru. At a higher altitude, oxygen concentration is lower and, therefore, it takes longer for the coffee to mature and, as a consequence, flavours can develop calmly with more complexity and with a touch of refreshing fine acidity. Acidity is a critical value for the quality of the coffee. Cal Lluís has a careful selection of coffees of origin, prepared so that all its features can be appreciated.


Cal Lluís also offers a wonderful selection of teas of origin, ideal for getting in touch with these infusions: white tea, China, India and Ceylan, among natural varieties, and Earl Grey, Passion fruit, Sherezade, Greenmint, Apple, Mango...among the perfumed ones.

The taste and properties of the tea are closely linked to the process whereby the infusion is prepared (its length and the concentration of the leaves, for example). Boiling water poured on the tea extracts quickly the theine (caffeine of the tea) and the aromatic substances. But after three minutes, water begins to absorb the tannins (with astringent properties) which bring a bitter taste. That’s why tea can be either exciting or sedative.


Infusions offer of Cal Lluís is completed with the most traditional and medicinal herbs:

  • Camomile: digestive and stimulant.
  • Maria Lluïsa: suitable for indigestion, flatulence and palpitations.
  • Mint: tonique virtues, stimulant and sedative.
  • Poniol: Similar to mint, that is why sometimes they are used together.
  • Tea of the rocks: Properties against colds and stomachaches.
  • Lime tea: Calming and sedative.
